Banks 1960 Journal 30. Oct. 22 Espiritu Santo Island, S end, Baja Calif., Mexico. The murky time of day. We walked up the plain to the ridge, turned left down the draw toward the beach. Reached the water of this little bay, which was lined on both sides with mangroves. The S side of this valley was extremely rocky and rough walking. I worked down nearly to the beach, then turned S, up the hill. On the top saw more birds than any previous stop. The side of this valley has several "caves", overhanging ledges, which I searched for lizards. Walked back over the ridge to the beach. Bob had seen the boat which was supposed to meet us—it was broken down. We got a fisherman to row us to it. Here we were anchored by a cliff, which showed well the nature of the island. It was alternate layers of sandstone & conglomerate, the latter with quite large inclusions. The caves mentioned earlier were caused by the softer parts of the sandstone eroding out. Arrived back in La Paz about 7:30 pm. After dark the clouds left, and we could see the stars. We found out that the hurricane is in the Gulf, heading due N. This pretty well cancels any trip to Cerralvo, at least for 2 days. Birds seen on Espiritu Santo: Osprey, Red-Tailed Hawk, Mockingbird, Rock Wren, Blue-gray Grackle, Black-throated Sparrow, Verdin, Ground Dove, Green Heron (in mangrove), Ladole-backed Wood- pewee, Western Kingbird, Belted Kingfisher (heard near
