 June 21st, and in the oaks near Watsonville, San Juan, Tres Pinos 

 and San Benito, June 23d to 27th. In the San Joaquin Valley it 

 was common — particularly so near Visalia, July 3d — but ascended 

 the east fork of the Kaweah only to Cain's Flat.

Many Lewis' Woodpeckers were circling in the air along San

Several Poorwills were heard in the foot hills near Tres Pinos 

 throughout the moonlit night of June 25th. 



34. Chordeiles virginiauus henryi 1 Western Night Hawk. 



While all Night Hawks seen were flying so high as to prevent 

 their capture, it seems probable that two, seen near Tres Pinos, 

 June 25th, and also several observed at Kern River Lakes, July 

 13th, were of this form.
