. The birds of California : a complete, scientific and popular account of the 580 species and subspecies of birds found in the state. Birds; Birds. The Bonaparte Gull '3"!— ' ! ' :. Taken in Santa Barbara FISHING Photo by the Author long a time a disgrace to the town, was invariably marked by a hovering host of these depraved fairies. But convention will excuse anything, as witness the costume of the bathing beach half a mile to westward. If ladies may discard their clothing, or most of it, and "get away with it," we will not pause to rebuke a bird for reverting to fashions still more ancient. And apropos of mob psychology (in other words, fashion), I am re- minded of the great consternation caused by the appearance of a Duck Hawk over an assembly of Bonaparte Gulls upon the beach at Orella. The Gulls rose in terror and kept together in a dense mass, each bird, apparently, determined to keep in the center out of harm's way. Some day—oh just some day—I'd like to see the Archangel Gabriel appearing suddenly over the bathing beach!.
