Wandering Tattler (79) Willett, Condor, x11, 1910, p. 171. 
Common migrant to all the islands, and recorded during every month of the 
year. Most abundant from August to the first part of May. Almost every or- 
nithologist who has visited the islands in winter has met with this bird, and there 
are about a dozen records for non-breeders during the summer months. They 
are fond of frequenting the foam-sprayed rocks off shore, singly or in twos, and 
not infrequently in the company of Black Turnstones. Here, when observed, 
they will squat motionless or steal over a ridge of rock.

Actitis macularius (10) Grinnell, Pac. Coast Avif., 11, 1915, p. 53. 
Common on the islands in winter, and, as with the last mentioned species, 
occurring during every month of the year. On the Coronados I have seen them 
repeatedly in the spring and occasionally during the early summer; J. Grinnell 
and F. 8. Daggett (3) note two seen August 6, 1902, in the same locality. C. B. 
Linton (5) found the species fairly common at Clemente during the fall and 
winter of 1907, and I saw a bird on the rocks there March 29, 1915. J. Grinnell 
(2) reports it as tolerably common at Catalina in December, 1897, and I have 
seen individuals both here and at Santa Barbara Island in late April and early 
May. Grinnell (7) also saw several at Anacapa, September 4, 1903; Linton (6) 
found numbers at Santa Cruz Island in November and December, 1907, where A. 
van Rossem and I noted them during the latter part of April, 1911.
