Banks 1956 Journal 7 Dec. '56 MVZ - under direction of W.C. Russell, put up a Pomarine Jaeger and a Green-winged Teal. F.S. Williamson sent them down from Alaska as salted skins. See they were relaxed and soaked in gasoline overnight, leaving been cut to scraped to get grease off the skin. 24 Dec. 1.8 mi S., 1mi E. Orinda, 750 ± ft. Contra Costa Co. Calif. Arrived at 3 P.M. Just a little ways up creek shot one of 3 Varied Thrushes out of an Umbelliferae. Took 3 shots, and it is awry. A little later shot another from the same kind of tree, it fell 40 ± ft. into the stream bed. A bit of feathers drifted away as it fell, + when I picked it up the entire rump was bare. Will make a skeleton of it. (Sared | Stillaby, "14.)
