Marshall, 1947 Meleospiza 127. Collections Sept-Oct 1947 Salt Marsh 13/4 mi WSW Pt San Bruno, San Mateo Co., Calif. (See San Mateo Quadrangle) Pt San Bruno pure Salicornia deep no song sparrows Spartina only Savannahs SF Bay many rats, garbage sewage. Habitat limited to very narrow fringe. 3751-3754 all with 3750 5 yds of slough. New Highway Bayshore Highway SF Airport This marsh has about 100 birds left in it. They are abundant, even in sm flakes. Stick pretty close to banks of sloughs. Habitat is Salicornia or more with grindelia scattered along edges of sloughs. On western edge, is higher, drier, & with more Chenopodium - more Savannahs there. A remarkably isolated population about to become extinct. More numerous here between the 2 highways, where better salt habitat. Still a perfectly natural tidal Salicornia-grindelia marsh. Salt marsh 5/8 mi S Deucbarton Bridge, Alameda Co., Calif. (See Hayward Quadrangle) Ravenswood Point coll here Sep1'4No SF Bay 2 seen on beach here 50 yds away from vegetation, foraging in jibs, drift wood. coll 3755-3764 between these 2 pts in typical natural Salicornia - grindelia marsh with grindelia along the many little winding sloughs. Bbs very numerous Saw about 20 in 1/2 mile - a pair watched on edge of pond here for a long time. They would not go back to Salicornia - hopped along in sand & mud & under driftwood. Neither could I make them fly out over the water. They hop very rapidly when in open & carry tail at high angle. Come up close & peek at you under boards. This pair walked about 50 yds along shore.
