Jack Allbutt, 1942 Jan 3. 3mi N. Trinidad, 300 ft. Humboldt Co. Calif was also active in the deep water. The inlet to the lagoon is to the East and is broken up by many small channels through the tules. Two Great Blue Herons and one American Egret were observed in these channels between the tules. Apparently no tule ducks were present in the area. One Kingfisher was seen as he flew from under the highway 101 bridge that crosses the lagoon. Returning to the car about 10 AM a pair of Killdeers were collected #63♂ and #64♀. I then shot a Still Jay while he was scratching and feeding on the ground under a spruce. At 10:30 Ward Rumland & I drove to the south end of spit that forms the lagoon. We walked out the sandy shores for some 1/2 mile without seeing any sign of Mimids. The beach is principally small rock and sand with no drift or sea plants worked up on the shore line. Between the ocean and the lagoon is the lag strewn sandy spit. At 11:15 we started around the south shore. and the first bird observed was a Pipit when first seen it was among the crushed down reeds along the dry shore. It just managed to keep out of range of our guns. Feeding through the open Alders.
