1913] Grinnell-Swarth : Birds and Mammals of San Jacinto 227 



Himantopus mexicanus (Midler) 



Black-necked Stilt 



Seen on Hemet Lake in August, a flock of five on the 6th and 

 several single birds on the 21st. Probably only a migrant through 

 the region. 



Gallinago delicata I ( >rd I 



Wilson Snipe 



On August 14 one bird, probably a migrant, was flushed from 

 some marshy ground at the east end of Hemet Lake. 



Pisobia minutilla (Vieillot) 



Leasl Sandpiper 



Fairly common in small flocks on the mud flats at the eastern 

 ru<\ of Hemet Lake. August 6 to 16. One specimen was pre- 

 served (no. 2949), an immature male in first winter plumage. 



Helodromas solitarius cinnamomeus Brewster) 



Western Solitary Sandpiper 

 Migrating individuals were seen along the shores of Hemet 

 Lake on several occasions from August 6 to 16. Two specimens 

 were secured (nos. 2947, 2948), on August 10 and August 15, 

 respectively, both immature males. 



Actitis macularius (Linnaeus) 

 Spotted Sandpiper 

 Apparently a migrant only. In the vicinity of Cabezon the 

 species was noted on several occasions from May 12 to 20. Here 

 they were seen along the little streams near the mouths of the 

 canons, usually single birds, though once as many as four were 

 seen together. At Hemet Lake. August 6 to 16, scattered indiv- 

 iduals were observed along the shores of the lake upon several 

 occasions, and doubtless a little search would have revealed their 

 presence at any time during this period. Two specimens were 

 taken (nos. 1746 and 20(17). both males in breeding plumage, the 

 first secured at Cabezon, May 17. the second at Snow Creek, 

 Mav 29.
