No brush rabbits were seen this a.m. between 6:30 and 8:15 a.m. A number of cottontails were seen, and heard thumping in the brush. A Green Heron was noted at 9:30 a.m. perched on a partly submerged log, beneath some overhanging willows along the river. Two flocks of about 15 American White Pelicans were seen sailing about during the morning. I found a rather extensive pond (about 1/2 mi. long and 200 yards wide) along some bottom land where the water had evidently run over from the river last winter. A small flock of Pipits were seen on the muddy shore as were 6 Wilson's Snipes, 3 Black-backed Stilt (strikethrough), 10 Killdeers. On the pond were 4 Coots, 2 Eared Grebes, and some ducks too far distant to identify. Three Black- crowned Night Herons and two Great Blue Herons were noted at various points around the
