San Felipe, S.L. Lower Calif. Mexico.
April 13, 1926.
125. Mimus polyglottis leucopterus ♂ (juv.) 53.9 G.
killed in the air as it flew from
Lycum brush to mosquito tree.
126. Larus glaucescens ♀ Killed on beach
among a flock of mixed gulls
near fish camp.
127. Larus heermanni ♀ killed over the
(skeleton)
surf at high tide with some terns.
128. Lizard shot in sand.
Day cleared off in the afternoon.
In the afternoon at high tide, took
a Larus glaucescens from a large
flock of mixed gulls. His dead
body attracted among others, a
Larus occidentalis lucens which
was shot. One other was seen at
the same time. They are quite
scarce. A Larus heermanni immature
was shot shot while in company
with a large flock of Sterna
elegans which were feeding diving
into a school of fish near shore.
The heermanni did not try to
rob the elegans like the other
gulls did, but dove and caught
for herself. One other was seen at
the same time.
