Feb. 22 Walter Dalquest and I left Berkeley by Greyhound Bus at 7:10 am. (Pacific Martins), met Phil Merritt in Lafayette and continued east in his car. We were driving into shining sun clear to the valley - the sky was clear and the atmosphere slightly hazy. There was frost in Berkeley when we left. We found a freshly killed gopher snake in the road 3 mi. NNW Byron, Contra Costa Co. The only other snake found was taken from deep under a rock, 5 mi. S Brentwood. We saw 4 or 5 pairs of Spanish Hawks foraging near the road between Brentwood, Byron and Stockton. We were impressed by the beauty of the soft gray males with black tipped wings & white rump. We saw mountain bluebirds about 7 mi. E Stockton. Collection localities and specimens taken at them follow.
