The wings are barred and form a white semi-circle over the rump, when the wings are folde Ravens soared off the top of high cliffs and some were down by the river. Call Q sound was a great deal different. 2 Farallon Cormorants seen at close range. I was surprised to see them this far up the river. Pintails, 50-75, in w/ith a flock of about 1000 Mallards. Swainson's Hawk, 3 of them, spent their time flying low over the ducks and geese on the river, but I saw no attempt to catch a duck. American Golden-eyes, 10-12, seen individually and one flock of 8 flying together downstream. The black head, and back, and white sides show up at a dis- tance, and from 50' to 100' distance, the black head turns a dark green and the nearly round spot on the cheek becomes evident. Underparts and sides all white. White "iner" wings; white on sides when bird is on the set, with faint streaking of black on higher parts. Navy dive-bombers were "running" the gorge at low levels but the ducks and geese did not pay any attention to them. Ducks were everywhere by the 1000's and geese by the 100's. They were on sand bars and on the river bank, and were even just floating downstream in large flocks. Most common was the Mallard. It was an inspiring day, indeed.
