The Eastern Sea Brant in California
On January 30, 1914, there was added to the list of the game birds of the state a new species, for on that date there was secured near Bird Island on Arcata Bay, Humboldt County, a specimen of the Eastern Sea Brant, Branta bernicla glaucogastra. This goose, an adult male, was shot from a flock of Black Sea Brant (Branta nigricans) by West Dean of Eureka. A splendidly made study skin of this bird was prepared by Mr. Franklin J. Smith, of Eureka; and the owner, Mr. Otto Feudner of Oakland, California, generously donated it to the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology where it bears the number 24588.
