Sterna caspia in Los Angeles County
December 27, 1908, while rowing in Alamitos Bay, California, I counted eight individuals of Sterna caspia (Caspian Tern) resting on the exposed mud flats in company with Royal Terns, Western Gulls and numerous sandpipers. Altho Sterna caspia could hardly be compared with Sterna maxima by anyone at all familiar with either bird, to avoid possible mistakes I crossed the bay and flushed the entire flock, but did not attempt to secure specimens owing to the proximity of residences.
