LIDICKER 1973 Kensington Calif. (108 Willar Lane) May 18 1855 (54° F.) 1 CL: chickadee hanging from post of hummingbird feeder, + drank from it. This is the first first observation of a bird hanging from the post rather than perching on it & is thus the 1st recorded incidence of CL: chickadee near of this feeder since March 18. And this is in spite of the [illegible] continuous presence of chickadees in the area during this interval. May 23 1943 (56° F.) Sev. CL: chickadees in yard. One went to hummingbird feeder, perched on post + drank twice. Brooks Island June 22 Left from LSB about 0845 with: Fred McCollum, Steve Arnold, Lynne Hovet, Agatha Dill, & Virginia Maiorana. We went to the Ford Plant - to pick up the boat. Arrived on the island about 10:30 met the new caretaker, Mr. Al Betancourt who invited us to have coffee with him before we started to work. It was overcast & cool until about 1100 when it began to clear up. The rest of the day was clear & quite warm. About 0100 the usual summer west wind began to blow. We walked around most of the island hunting & catching garter snakes & a few alligator lizards. We also, naturally, checked out Micrurus sign & Fred made check of various counts with a 5 ft.
