ALGID j: Auks, Murres, and Puffins 



Ocean W.V. Oct. -Apr. 

 Most numerous about Santa 

 Barbara Islands. Dead speci- 

 mens are frequently, and live 

 birds with oil-soaked plumage 

 occasionally, washed ashore on 

 beaches of southern California. 



Rhinoceros Auklet 



Ocean Res. Commonly 

 seen about islands off the 

 southern California coast, nest- 

 ing on such as are not infested 

 with foxes or house cats. 

 Formerly bred in great numbers 

 on Santa Barbara Island, but 

 exterminated by cats. 



CossinAuKlet 



Ocean W. V. Nov.- 

 Apr. Rarest of our small 

 divers. San Diego County 

 appears to be the southern 

 limit of their winter range. 

 Their presence in our area 

 would hardly be known except 

 for occasional dead birds on 

 the beach.
