R.L. Mumme 1978 Journal HASTINGS RESERVATION, Monterey Co. 10 Sept Arrived here around noon, leaving Berkeley about 800. Birded with Bob Zink about an hour before I left at the Berkeley Marina + Emeryville Flats area. Saw my first Surf Scoters (♂ + ♀) and Black Turnstone, plus 100+ Western Gulls, a few California Gulls, Short-billed Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers, Long-billed Curlew(1), Marbled Godwit (3). After arrival, Walt + I went to Blackdecker, where we saw the two unbanded ♂♂ Acorn Woodpeckers hanging about. Later helped Walt with insect collections. 11 Sept About 0900 drove up to the Arnold, and I watched the Arnold I Group from hide, seeing two banded birds plus unbanded ♂ + ♀. On the way up saw a group of Mountain Quail at the gate. Walt said they had probably come down for water. About 20 Band-tailed Pigeons seen on the Arnold. Acorn crop on Arnold, as everywhere on station, seems very poor. Also watched at Plaque during the afternoon, Saw the three resident birds, a few unidentified intruders, plus Golden Eagle, prob. imm (white at base of tail) [illegible] flying along Buckeye Hill and harassed by two Red-tailed Hawks. ♂ Wilson's Warbler also seen.

Heard Winter Wren and Steller's Jay around Robertson Creek. In the afternoon we strolled up to Chongo and returned with
