H.G. Weston 1945 Journal 5. March 15 Pierce Ranch, Tomales Point, Marin County, California cat. flicker, song sparrow, ruby-crowned kinglet and golden- crowned kinglet. While walking through the lupine on the ridge I saw ravens (4), red-tailed hawk (1), marsh hawk, all 3 species overhead, and coast bush-tits (3) in the bushes. The most numerous bird on this part of the Point appears to be the song sparrow with the white-crowned sparrow a close second. At 12 noon we reached the outer-most tip of Tomales Point. Birds seen there included: Baird and Brandt Cormorants, black turnstones, surf ducks (4), Harlequin ducks, brown pelican 10/7, surfscooters, California gulls. From the point we followed the shoreline around toward Tomales Bay. Near the mouth of Tomales Bay additional species seen included: Common Loon 10/ 17, red-breasted merganser 17, Pacific loon, Earedgrebe, and a flock of 60+ black brant. A short distance past Avalis Beach we cut up a canyon, by 2 stands/of eucalyptus, to the ranch houses. We say Bewick wrens, California jays, Allen hummingbird and brown towhees in this small canyon. It was 1:15 p.m. when we arrived back at the bunkhouse. After a sketchy meal we both set out to set traps in the nearby marshy areas and canyons. I set out 100 Museum Special Snap Traps. Dr. Benson set out 3 steel traps as well as snap traps. After returning to headquarters and eating supper (dinner?) we made study skins of 3 spotted towhees, 1 brown towhee,
