Gran 1928 First mi East of Cerro Prieto 30 ft. Lower Calif Mex. Feb 14 1928 Two Bears sets caught nothing. 1337 Ruddy Duck ♂ 457.5 g shot together or ringer ♀ 458.5 g surrounded by turtles 1338 " Skeletons 1339 Thommys 132. g ♀ 225-75-34-5 Caught on lime, sandy Adobe. 1340 Least Sandpiper ♀ 21.5 g Shot on small silt bar in mud. 1341 Sage Thrasher ♂ 35. g Shot on cane stalk on lime. 1342 I sat one live all morning behind some mud decoys hoping to get a shot at some geese or cranes. Several flocks of both flew by but there was just a slight pause or a few circles to show that they noticed the decoys. These decoys are all long pieces of mud the size & general shape of ducks & geese with pieces of paper tied across their backs. I have used these decoys on mud flats for evening shooting with great success in Berkeley at Flemings Point.
