1. Podilymhiis podiceps (6). Pied-billed Grebe. 



Range: British Provinces southward to Brazil, Argentine Republic, 

 and Chili, including West Indies and Bermuda, breeding nearly through- 

 out its range. 



Stations: Washington Harbor, X '04; Washington River, II '04. 



Breeding: Brood of 5 young, Aug. 18. 



The Pied-billed Grebe was not found either at Rock Harbor or Sis- 

 kowit Bay, but was a common summer resident at Washington Harbor, 

 frequenting the river and upper end of the Harbor. 



Breeding Notes : A family consisting of two old birds and five young 

 w^ere seen almost daily at that place. They seldom came out into the 

 harbor. Although very shy Avhen approached from land I succeeded in 

 getting quite close when in a rowboat. They were never seen to take 

 Aving, generally diving or swimming rapidly away upon the approach of 

 danger. Sometimes when badly frightened, instead of diving, they would 

 rise upon their small wings so that their feet just touched the sur- 

 face and in this way half ran, half flew across the water. The young 

 were still unable to fly by the middle of September, and I doubt if the 

 parents had completed their moult sufficiently to use their wings much 

 either. During the rainy days when the creek was swollen and Very 

 rapid the grebes generally stayed out in the harbor near tlie river's 

 mouth. A shallow spot covered with water plants and grasses near the 

 bend in the river was their usual feeding place. 



2. Garia imher (7). Loon. 



Range : Northern part of northern hemisphere. In North America 

 breeds from the northern tier of states northward; ranges in winter 

 south to the Gulf of Mexico and Lower California.
