Marshall, 1941 Melospiza melodia Solano Co., Etc. January 11 Several males singing from time to time - not constantly. A lincoln sparrow shot in cat- tails (not preserved). R-c Kinglets and hermit thrush also seen in wet cattail meadow. In flock of white-crowns in an Oak, saw the flash of a white-throat. Several Varied thrushes here, and a large hermit thrush which I should have collected. All this in the extensive fresh marsh downstream from the overfolw of the lake. Drove to the mouth of this creek and saw that the brush and willows don't come within 2 mile of the salt marsh. Neth, Northward, on the highway to Napa and just north of the Napa Co. line was a creek whose willows went far down towards the marsh, but were separated from it by a pasture. Not much brush along this stream due to grazing, therefore probably few if any song sparrows. Drove from Napa Junction to Cutting-Green Id. where the r.r. crosses the Napa R. No creeks here, and a large dyke built along the east margin of the river, so that no longer an extensive salt marsh on the west side of the river. Went to Jameson Canyon, Napa Co. side, and coll. 7 song sparrows from the large population in the rich growth of vines and willows along the r.r. track. None singing - rather windy, but several called from time to time. Drove back to the Napa highway and looked at every creek flowing west toward the marsh, but none came near it at all, although one can easily suppose that before the river was dyked off and the stream sides grazed, there could have been a contact between willows and marsh at each stream. At Suscol Creek was an extensive patch of willows and brush along the creek only about 3 or 400 yards from the salt slough (dense tules) ) where many black, heavily-streaked song sparr ows were seen - two at very close range. As usual, the tule birds very tame and curious of squeaks. But no song sparrows were seen along the creek - perhaps too narrow as line of brush. Yet looked as good as San Pablo Creek - one would certainly expect a few pairs here. This skip 5 pages please
