California Birds 
By L. B. FULTON 
On my excursions along the shore at Carmel, I have come to think 
of the birds as following fixed courses like the stars. In other words, 
there are the deep sea birds, alcids, shearwaters, etc., which will receive 
short notice here; then the gulls, pelicans and cormorants which are con- 
stantly flying between the two points of Carmel Bay; next the loons, 
grebes, and mergansers which float around out beyond the breakers; then 
the scoters which ride the surf; next the sanderlings and sandpipers which 
stay close to the shore line; then the plovers, and lastly, certain land birds 
which like the vicinity of the sea. 
Confirming my experiences of this sort, a stroll along the beach today, 
the first of December, brings the following list: 
Western Gull Loons Sanderling 
Short-billed Gull Western Grebe Snowy Plover 
Glaucous-winged Gull Red-breasted Merganser Killdeer 
Cormorants (in flight) Surf Scoter Black Turnstone 
Brown Pelicans (in flight) White-winger Scoter Black Phoebe 
Nuttall Sparrow
