VOL. IVv.] Birds of San Pedro Martir. eS 
a fall of not less than six feet of snow, according to native testi- 
mony. Mr. Bryant has quoted me as reporting 4. carolinensis 
at gooo feet in winter, a mistake due to my own carelessness, 
probably. The species was found at that altitude in fall, but 
_ not above 1500 feet after November. 
LPlegadis guarauna. WHITE-FACED GLossy Ipis. At San 
Telmo they were usually seen during summer in small numbers 
about a large marsh above the settlement, and I think they 
doubtless bred there. Adults and young were shot at San Quin- 
tin in October. 
Tantalus loculater, ‘Woop Ixsts. In the fall a few wood ibis 
are to be found in all of the marshes and streams from Ensenada 
to Santa Maria. 
Botaurus lentiginosus. AMERICAN BrTTERN. Common in 
the marshes at Colnett and San Ramon, where it doubtless nests. 
Ardea herodias. GREAT BLUE Heron. Common at San 
Quintin and north of that point, also seen to some extent inland. 
_ Acolony was found nesting on San Martin Island on April 12. 
At this date most of the nests contained young, but one set of 
three fresh eggs were taken. 
Ardea candidissima. SNowy HERON. Very common all 
along the coast from El Rosario north. I think they nest atSan 
Ramon, as they were seen at that point all summer. 
Ardea rufa. REDDISH EGRET. Not uncommon at San Quintin. 
Fulica americana, AMERICAN Coot. Coots were seen oc- 
casionally along the creek below Valladares in the fall. Young 
were found at San Telmo as early as April 1. <A pair was 
found nesting on San Pedro in May, 1889. 
Recurvirostra americana. AMERICAN AVocET. Not uncom- 
mon at San Quintin, Colnett and Ensenada in fall, only seen, 
however, about the fresh water marshes. 
Actitis macularia. SPOTTED SANDPIPER. One was seen at 
La Grulla, on San Pedro, May 14. Rather common along the 
coast. 
-gialites vocifera. KILIDEER. A few were found in all the 
meadows on top of the mountain.
