Marshall, 1947 Melospiza June 10 Southampton Bay, Solano Co., Calif. 12:30 PM S's singing in S acentus & olneyi at Spengler's just as vigorously as 3 mo. ago. On marsh at N end airport- (part main strips & into main griddles) are large area of pine deep (knee high) salicornia with jivos & ad. more than 100 yds from Grindelia slough borders. S's sing from Salicornia, birds fly from place to place in pine salicornia & "go under" it for foraging. Ad's seen in salicornia carrying food. Some birds (ad & jivos) far out in salicornia stay there, but 2 (1 50 yds, 1 100 yds out) even chased back in several steps to grindelia. All salicornia well watered & lush/erent along the main slough is grindelia on broad belt 10-25 yds wide - at tall & contin, but many indiv shrubs with salicornia + Distichlis in between. At edge of slough is Typha, S acentus, S olneyi, VS congostruis. On raised edge is 2 ad + belt of Jimsons (Achillea millefolium), yours & [illegible] (same as Pt Reyes sp), needs. This is the richest habitat & densest ss pop I have ever seen. Birds are everywhere, esp along slough,
