Howell, T.R. 1950 Journal 3 mi. S. Calipatria, -180 ft., Imperial Co., Calif. Jan 28- Mr. Bill Anderson of the State Game Refuge here took us on a tour of the refuge and then out to the edge of the Salton Sea near its southern tip. On the refuge we saw Baldpate, Pintail, Shovellers, Green-winged Teal, Coots, 2 Sora Rails, Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers. One song sparrow was seen, not saltonis, but with a large bill, large enough for Passerculus s. rostratus, which it was not. Possibly fisherella? The hawks, road-runners, and passerines of previous days were seen except for the 2 thrashers, and the Yellow-headed blackbirds. At the sea we saw a number of Herring and Ring-billed Gulls (also Herrings in the wet fields, where Anderson says he often sees them), Baldpates, Shovellers, Green-winged Teal, (or 2 Cinnamon Teal, Ruddy Ducks, Coots, Dowitchers, Greater Yellow-legs, about 5 Black- necked Stilts, Least Sandpipers, Killdeer. On the salt flats we noted 2 Horned Larks, and in the succulent Allenrothia a few Large- billed sparrows, one collected. In the fields and brush about a mile or two back from the sea, we saw Gambel Quail, one Pigeon Hawk, Brewer Blackbirds and Cowbirds, savanna, Vesper, Lark, and White-crowned Sparrows, Tule Wrens, a Sage Sparrow. Back at the camp- site, Dawson had a Lincoln Sparrow in one of his live traps.
