San Felipe, s.l. Lower Calif. Mexico.
March 28, 1946.
J Hr. Lizard. Shot while running thru bush on sandy flat near beach.
Went hiking up the beach to the Mexican fishing camp and saw great flocks of gulls there.
Ring Billed Gull Larus occidentalis livan California Gulls & immature.
While hunting on the beach in the afternoon as I saw the same kinds of Gulls again beside some Elegant Terns, Caspian Terns,
Col. Pelicans White Pelicans
and Lesser Scamp. I killed a California Gull as it was flying fast, an Elegant Tern as it flew near & investigate the dead body of the other gull and see a Larus occidentalis livan which came near for the same reason.
Hermann's Gulls are scarce, likewise Caspian Terns, Willets & and White Pelicans. As from the head Game Warden of Lower Calif. we were told that the antelope come down to the beach to bathe m summer & that there are mountain sheep on the hills nearby.
