Stinson beach but interrupted by
cliffs & willow-gully (with RB thrush,
& the usual willow-ss.). Salt marshes
& Bolinas lagoon (S end) are of very
low salicornia choked with Distichlis, &
not good for ss. Much Grindelia
around (no foliaceus bracts) (canporum?)
edge salt marsh & one & is clump
of it- it did not forage in the salicornia
(too dense & low - less than 1 ft).
Very abundant in willows all around
lagoon. Also wide willow habitat
with marshy juniper areas all along
rd to Olema.
At Nanos salt marsh at extreme
S end Drake's Estero, song sp common
along the sloughs (glabrous stemmed, serrate
lanceolate-leaved Grindelia robusta maritima
lies the sloughs), Salicornia is deep,
& choked with Distichlis & Frankenia.
Salicornia turf overhangs sloughs with
fat mud banks, & several pairs
seen foraging along the mud, flying
to Grindelia etc. However, these birds
all within tens. dit. of surrounding
fresh-water soft chaparral Rubus etc but
one pair seemed to be established on the
slough - also jins.
