_Speotyto cunicularia hypogaea_ (Bonaparte). Burrowing Owl Common in upper Aliso Canyon, which is more open and very hot and arid. _Ceryle alcyon_ (Linn.) Belted Kingfisher I noted two birds which were undoubtedly of this species along a rocky stretch of the coast, but was unable to collect one. _Melanerpes formicivorus bairdi_ Ridgway. California Woodpecker I obtained two specimens of this species from a flock in Nigger Canyon. This seems to be a very low altitude at which to find these birds. _Myiochanes richardsoni richardsoni_ (Swainson). Western Wood Pewee I collected two of this species in the willow bottoms July 25, 1912, which seems to be an indication that they are summer residents. _Corvus corax sinuatus_ Wagler. Raven Irregular along the coast. One collected July 19. _Astraglinus tristis salicamans_ (Grinnell). Willow Goldfinch Common in the willow bottoms. _Ammodramus savannarum bimaculatus_ Swainson Western Grasshopper Sparrow Very common in one particular grassy glade at the top of the ridge around Laguna, also at the tule lakes. I took a young bird June 27, which seems to indicate the birds were breeding there. This is one of the few breeding records for Southern California. _Hirundo erythrogastra_ Boddaert. Barn Swallow Common along the rocky cliffs; some breeding in July. This concludes the additional list. There is one other breeding record worthy of note. In Nigger Canyon (Irvine Ranch) there is a Great Blue Heron nesting colony. Although such colonies were at one time common along the coast, they are now becoming rare. The colony is situated in a large clump of sycamore trees, in the bottom of the canyon, some half mile or more inland. There are about thirty nests, quite white with bird lime; the trees and ground also are well covered, showing the permanency of the site. On June 26, 1914, I visited the colony and found very young birds, but no eggs. The whole place was filled with a peculiar stench, while the croakings of the old birds, coupled with the frightened squawks of the young, and the invisible, choking powder down, made the place quite undesirable. The old birds were very bold, but not pugnacious, and while the examination of the nests went on retired to nearby trees to watch the proceedings, while the young crowded out to the uttermost branches, keeping up a continual racket. Owing to the protection afforded by the Irvine ranch, the colony has thrived and probably will for an indefinite period.
