Oct 20 In the early morning 707 & 708 were taken by Longhurst in his back yard (Hutchins Cr., 200 ft.) At about 8 or 9 AM we went down to the revolving railroad bridge where over the Napa River where Longhurst got his skull load. I coll. 709 & 710 On the W bank of the river, just S of the bridge, where a slough starts out towards the marshes. These were in weeds at the head of the slough - we squeaked out of the dense cover. 711-716 were collected 8 ½ mi S, 2 ½ mi W Napa, on the edge of an island of dry land in the extensive Napa marshes. Song Sparrows were abundant all along the sloughs in tule. The six collected were in tule and the weeds on dry ground bordering a slough. A pair of White-tailed Kites was watched at this island. They perched in a row of tall Eucalyptus trees and flapped & sailed out over the marshes. Often seen to hover, then hold wings motionless over back & float down to earth.
