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



Himantopus mexicanus (Miiller) 

 Blaek-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 (Ord) 

 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) 

 Least Sandpiper 

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

 end of Hemet Lake, August 6 to 16. One specimen was pre- 

 served (no. 294!.)), an immature male in first winter plumage. 



Helodromas solitarius cinnamomeus I 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 2067), both males in breeding plumage, the 

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

 May 29.
