San Felipe, S.L. Lower Calif. Mexico.
March 27, 1926.
To kill a Lesser Scap which
floated pretty to some dead gulls
which Huey had shot and the
Huey himself who was swimming
far out after a crippled tern.
I also killed 3 Elegant Terns and
1 immature Hermann's Gull as
it flew near a dead tern. We
also saw some Caspian Terns
at which Lamb shot for
partially crippled but could not
get. B Pelicans, Snowy Gulls,
California Gulls (of which Lamb
shot an immature one), Ring-Billed
Gulls, Black Brant, Lesser Scap,
Royal Terns and Snow Geese (seen
by Mr. Huey) are around here.
Saw a Great Blue Heron and a
flock of small birds at late
evening, at low tide.
