1979 Ronald L. Mumme Journal Hastings Reservation, Monterey County, CA (1-3 June) with Anna Haynes, Ron DeBry, & Jan Caulfield, arriving about 1230. We walked up to the Arnold, hearing a picric acid explosion on the way down (Bomb Squad from Monterey had detonated it). The rest of the class arrived around 6 pm, and after dinner we went for a walk, seeing a white-tailed kite and catching a baby Cal Quail. Walter spoke on AW's in the evening, before most of the class walked up to School Hill to spend the night. That was great fun, and Mary Lou Higgins, Ron, Jan, Louise Lyon, Jill Marten made it that way. A quarter moon set about 2 am, then great stars + milky way A rather unproductive Sat AM bird walk (Yellow Warbler, Solitary Vireo, a new Oriole nest for Pam) before Pam talked a little about her orioles, banding some babies for us, and Walt showed us the nest at 1500. Lunch, a siesta, the hours of too long student talks. We broke around dinner for a walk up Red Hill, getting a beautiful view as the sun set and the fog rolled in up the valley. Terrific. Also a Mourning dove nest on the ground up there, 1 egg. Another fun night on School Hill, joking with Mary Lou about her smashing me in the ear earlier in the day to allegedly killa mosquito. Sunday AM 3 June we drove to Pt. Lobos, and although Jill's car broke down enroute, we had a good time there, seeing the Brandt Cormorant colony, 10 orso pairs
