Davis. 1940 & 1941. Austin Tr., 80' / mi., s. Tajadero, Sonoma Co., Calif. Oct. 12. would indicate a breeding season from November to May, instead of April-May (Storer, 1925). These fall and winter eggs would probably be inviable, however, as the drift currents after the fall rains would probably wash them away. Strawberry Canyon; Berkeley Aquatic Park; Lake Merritt; Alameda; Bay Farm Island; Humberton Bridge; Leslie Salt Works; Alameda Co., and Marsh Creek, Middle River, and Holt, Contra Costa co., Calif. Feb. 9, 1941. Went out with David Mcbold, Frank Watson, Robert Storer, and Charles Dibley. Object of trip was merely to see as many different species of birds as possible in one day. Left Berkeley at 8 a.m., returned at 8:30 p.m. Day was overcast, cold and rainy, with a stiff wind, from about 5 p.m. on. Total number of species seen was 108, as follows: 1). Common loon. 2). Red-throated loon. 3). Western grebe. 4). Horned Grebe. 5). Eared Grebe. 6). Pied-billed Grebe. 7). Franklin Cormorant. 8). Great Blue Heron. 9). American Egret. 10). Black-crowned Night Heron. 11).
