Hctcrciilitis incanus (Gmelin). Wandering Tattler 

 Found in August along the rocky coast by Arch Beach (down 

 the coast from Laguna). 



Actitis niaciildriiis (Linn). Spotted Sandpiper 

 Common along the beach in August. 



^gialitis scmipalmalii (Bonaparte). Semipalmated Plover 

 A small Hock found at Balboa July 13. 



Aigialitis novisa Cassin. Snowy Plover 

 One taken between Laguna and Balboa. 



Buteo borealis cahiriis Cassin. Western Red-tail 

 Fairly common in the hills. There seemed to be several differ- 

 ent species of hawks at Laguna, but as they were very shy and most 

 of them took refuge in the forbidden territory of the Irvine Ranch, 

 none of the larger ones were obtained. 



HaUaeetus leucoceplialiis leiicocephaliis (Linn.) Bald Eagle. 



There are five Bald Eagles that are commonly seen along the 

 beach near Laguna. When followed, they are always found to 

 come to rest on the high, rocky west slope of Aliso Canyon (down 

 the coast from Laguna). The owner of the canyon, Mr. Joe 

 Thurston, tells me that for years a pair has bred there, and these 

 other three are young that ciid not leave the vicinity. He is very 

 jealous of their safety, and it is to be hoped they may always be 

 kept there as a natural attraction. This is one of the few breeding 

 points along the coast from which the Bald Eagle has not been 

 driven. In March, 1895, Mr. E. Davis took two fresh eggs of 

 the Bald Eagle near Laguna Beach. It woulci be very interesting 

 to know whether or not he obtained them from the same canyon; 

 if so, this must be a very old breeding place. 



Paiidion Jialiactiis carolinoisis (Gmelin). Osprey 

 One shot from a flagstaff in the center of town. The date is 

 uncertain, but appears to be about 1905. The specimen is now 

 mounted and in the possession of Mr. J. N. Isch of Laguna, 



Otus asio hoidirei (Brewster). California Screech Owl 

 Fairly common in the timbered canyons.
