Every 15-20 feet it dropped into the water, and then resumed flying, only to submerge again, and again, to 7 or 8 times while I watched. Its methods were not to catch fish, but more to bathe, I assume. Little Flycatcher Olive-sided Flycatcher Violeg-green Swallows Oregon Chickadees Robins Purple Finch young common in the area.

August 9, 1947, 12-mile Swamp, Bruce Station, 730-930 a.m. 20 Brkn, RM-, SW 5-8 Blue Heron - just one seen American Egrets - at least 5 were seen here and there in the swamp, at both ends. Three were seen at one time; pics were taken of 2 together; One was observed with his gullet pretty well filled with tadpoles of Bullfrogs from 2 to 4 inches long, which I watched it catch, and swallow. It was funny to watch the bulge slip down until it reached the "top of the column" of predecessors. While watching two, a third came over, and made some bluff dives at the other two. The birds did "talk" to themelves, and to each other while I watched. They are a be autifully graceful bird to watch as they fly leisurely and light. Green Heron - saw 3 or 4 of them, 1 was an adult, and the other 5 appeared to be immatures, being very light underneath, and streaked and not solidly colored on the upper parts. No rich colors developed yet. Bittern - one took off croaking, from near one feeding Egret. Mallards - no full plumaged males were seen, all apparently being in eclipse plumage, and feeding with 2 Blue-winged Teal (Cinnamon Teal) in a marshy area. The teal were also in the late summer plumage, and aside from the wing patches, selection between the two species could not be made. Wood Ducks - several were seen here and there over the swamp. Vulture - 2 flew over the N end. (Flocks of 4-15 circling s-ward over the county.) Marsh Hawk - a richly colored r ed-grown female cruising back and forth, low over the marsh area. Sparrow Hawk - on wire line Wilson Snipe - one flew over me, c alling occasionally Least Sandpipers - groups of 4, 7, and 15 were seen Western Sandpipers - 17 were seen in the north half of the swamp. Pheasant in nearby field Mourning Dove - a few on the fences and wire lines Vaux Swifts - 3 or 4 in with the swallows, but I was surprised to see that these were not a dark, dusky brownish, but were almost black, being lighter on the head. Could they be the Black Swift? No! (too small) Gairdner Woodpecker - working the ash on the west side of the swamp. Say's Phoebe - near the place where we first saw one last winter, I had ample opportunity to observe an immature of this species. The black tail was the only thing really recognizable, the rest of the body being a buffto brown, strongly streaked, and quite light yet, on the head. No call notes were given while I watched, altho it did fly to the ground to get an insect. Little Flycatcher - at least 6 different birds were seen. Violet-green Swallows - quite a few adults and immatures over the swamp, in large mixed flocks with all the other swallow-species, or perched on wire lines. Everywhere in this part of the county, these swallows line the wire lines by the hundreds. Tree Swallows - several adults and quite a few immatures, altho compared to V-g's, Cliff and Barn Swallows, they aren't numerous. Bank Swallows - a few seen with the other swallows Rough-winged Swallows - not too many of them seen/ in with the large flocks Barn Swallows - 100's over the swamp, and adjacent fields. On June 25, the nest being watched was reported knocked off the wall, to the ground, but today, I found a new nest just 3" from the site of the original nest, and an adult was flushed from the nest. The nest contained 2 eggs. Could be the same pair. Cliff Swallows - 100's over the swamp, and fields, and elsewhere in the county they are lined up on the wire lines with the Violet-greens. Oregon Chickadees in the ash groves Tule Wrens - scolding in the swamp area. Robin - a few at the swamp (several sizeable flocks in Corvallis, today). Cedar Waxwings - a few flying over Audubon Warblers in the ash trees Pacific Yellowthroats common in the fence rows, etc. Green-backed Goldfinches Willow Goldfinches - large flocks of adults and immatures, up to 40/ bunch Purple Finch Chipping Sparrows - several small flocks Song Sparrow

"Timber Ridge Tops" Bend-tailed Vigors - 2 seen Flicker Pileolated Woodpeckers - 2 pairs were attracted by imitating their call & by pounding on a "sound ing board" D. Frit. They came within 25' of me, & were very curious. They finally flew from tree to tree together. Coast Jays common Red-breasted Nuthatch calling Winter Wren singing W. Sangers calling 8-11-47 - Near Launburg I saw a Lewis Woodpecker + Long-tail Jay in oaks.

It flew without a sound for about 75 feet before alighting in other pond lilies. Mourning Doves – 2 pair in the area. Flushed one adult from the vicinity of a nest located in a "pois on-oak pasture". The nest was situated atop an old D. Fir stump about 22" high, with a small oak 1 foot NE of the stump, and a clump of poison oak shading it from the Sand W. The nest was a shallow saucer with a few dried twigs placed in it. There was one young that will be ready to fly in a few days for it can already use its wings well. About 5½" long, with a general gray-brown color. Primaries about 3" long, tail feathers 3" long, with the white outer feathers already showing. Even when it beat its wings and I picked it up, it kept its breast inflated. Banded #41-354648. Female gave "wounded act" when she left the nest vicinity. This nest was located not over 100' from one I found this last spring atop another D. Fir stump. Could be the same nesting pair, I'd guess. Oh, there was also one dud egg in the nest.

Vaux Swifts calling and flying high at 6 p.m. 15-20 of them. August 24, 1947, Corvallis Gravel Pits, Willamette R., 12 noon to 1440 p.m. Clear and warm, NW 3-5. American Mergansers - At almost exactly 1215 noon I saw a group of "ducks" come around a bend in the river some 3/8 mile upstream from where I was located. I put the glasses on them and counted 10 birds, as they all got up and ran across the water to the inside of the next curve of the river. It took them approximately 17 minutes to work there way downstream the length of the in- side of the curve, and into an estuary some 200 yards below and across the river from me. All birds were in the female plumage, and all were so much alike in size and coloration that no slight differences could be noted that might have distinguished the adult males and females from the young birds. Every once in a while a few of the birds would stand up and stretch their body and wings, displaying the bright white wing patches and under colorations. They were evidently busy fishing, for they did not see me, tho I stood on the bank. They "chased" over the shallow water areas together, diving, etc., and often would seem to be chasing each other. Often they glided over the water with their heads "cocked" looking downward and the crests slightly erected; or with the bill and front part of the head submerged and the neck arched; or swimming nearly submerged with only the top arch of the "shoulders" show- ing; or even swimming entirely submerged, at which time a definite increase in their sppeed was noted. All 10 of them did a good job of "milling around" and they tended to turn the fish, etc., into the shallow water. Once in a while one would get a couple of feet from the water, chasing an insect, in an awkward waddling-roll. Some of the birds, after swimming under water for a while were observed to actually come up, jumping clear of the water a few inches, tho not flying at all. They were not seen from 1245 to 1430, but at that time they were evidently flushed from some place farther downstream, for they flew upstream and landed opposite me, on the inside of the river curve again, and they began "feeding" upstream again. They found one nearly still place in the river, and all of them hesitated there a few minutes and were observed to do some preening, and just plain sitting. Vultures flying over Sharp-shinned Hawk in small Cottonwood about to take after some Robins on the ground. Killdeer flew over, and lit on the gravel bars. Spotted Sandpipers - 2 hung pretty close to one gravel bar. Mourning Doves flew over. Kingfisher - 2 seen. One would climb high, hover, and then swoop upstream a ways, climbing up again, hover, swoop upstream, dive downward and pulled out with outhighting the water, and skimming along just above it, as it crossed the river. Lewis Woodpeckers - 4 of them were seen flying high, and heading SW. Violet-green Swallows - mostly immatures were seen over the river.

It was about 3 1/2" long in body, with head 3/4", and bili black and 1" long, and tarsus about 3" long. The very filmyest and small- est of feathers were coming out here and there, and the tips of a few pin feathers were to be seen. Some of the small feathers already had touches of chestnut around it. It ran under a log where we caught it, and I banded it with 41-354649 (#3). A very late nesting record is indicated for this bird. OVER OVER OVER

Sept. 28, 1947, Fern Ridge Reservoir, Lane Co. Hi Ovc/70Brkn, 15/ 1000-1430, Phil Dumas, Dave Marshall, Tom McCallister, Aryan Rooest, and Fred Evenden. Western Grebe - one in full plumage observed in lake below the dam. Pied-billed Grebe - one seen in vicinity of NE Dike. White Pelicans - a few below the dam on the lake. One was observed to catch a fish (species unknown) about 15" long. Another was perched on a stump in the water, practically asleep. Both were very tame. At the south end we observed about 50 birds circling low over an ash-covered peninsula. Farallon Cormorant - just 3 were seen flying over Gibson Island. Blue Herons - many seen around the reservoir. Most in shaggy plumage. American Bittern - Dave and I flushed one immature near a ditch. Canada Geese - 6 flew from west side of reservoir, but we didn't identify ssp. Mallards - many in SE corner, and few in north area. Gadwall - a couple were seen Pintails - a raft of over 100 birds in SE area, with Mallards and teal, and other small groups seen here and there. Blue-winged Teal - a flock of about 12 Cinnamon Teal - I saw one "shaggy" appearing male. Shoveller - a few were seen Wood Duck - about 7 were flushed from ash area with mallards Ruddy Duck - 1 male and 2 females were swimming non-chalantly in the lake area below the dam and we had a fine chance to observe them. Green-winged Teal - a few were seen. Vultures - quite a few circling over here and there. Cooper's Hawk - one seen at north end near old orchard. Red-tail Hawk - one at north end. (Bald Eagle) ?? - we observed a huge bird perched atop a dead tree but it was so far off we couldn't identify it. No white head seen, but it may have been an immature. Marsh Hawks - many in the area, and we saw at least 4 at one time. Immatures seem to have more chestnut on underside. Sparrow Hawk - a couple were seen. Valley Quail - 3 were seen Pheasants - a few flushed at north end. (Virginia) Rail - we heard singular notes a few times today, but none of us heard enough to be confident of the species of Rail. Probably this one. Coots - up to 25 in one group, and scattered around the edges of the reservoir. Killdeer - many seen all day, and some in flocks of 5-10 birds, fooling us, for they were usually silent. Wilson's Snipe - we flushed dozens of these birds today. Spotted Sandpiper - one feeding in shallow water below flood gates of the dam. Greater Yellow-legs - several heard and seen, but none in flocks Pectoral Sandpipers - we were very fortunate in seeing several individuals of this species, and approaching within 15 or 20 feet of them and observing them with glasses. About 8-8½" long, with white rump and outer tail, and plain black down the middle of the tail, whitish belly, and it utters a sharp krurk, or kreek when it is flushed. Least Sandpipers - scattered singles or small groups everywhere thru the marshy area, with Dowitchers, Pectorals and Westerns. Their higher call notes are easily distinguished from the Westerns. Dowitchers - we observed a flock at a distance, and I sneaked up within a few feet of them, and they wouldn't flush till I stood up above them and moved in. There were about 45 in this group and it was a real thrill to get so near and observe them feeding, and listening to their continual line of banter. Tom flushed a flock of about 17 birds, and later, on the south highway we saw a large flock of 60-75 birds in a marshy area. Western Sandpipers - scattered singles or small groups everywhere thru the marshy area, with Dowitchers, Pectorals and Leasts, and Killdeers Call notes lower than the Least's. Calif. or Ring-billed Gull - a few of them were seen. 35-pg

Willow Goldfinches - flocks in winter plumage common Green-backed Goldfinches - not too many seen Oregon Towhee - a few Savannah Sparrows - the marshy and field areas have been "taken over" by this species for they are everywhere as singles, in small groups and flocks of up to 15 birds. Vesper Sparrows - a couple seen Juncos here and there Golden-crowned Sparrows - a few in oak-brush area, calling White-crown Sparrows - in small flocks in the brush here and there.

TWELVE-MILE SWAMP AT BRUCE, TWELVE MILES SOUTH OF CORVALLIS, BENTON COUNTY, OREGON Date: 30 September, 1947 14:00 to 15:45. Weather: Wind 8 mph, high clouds, temp. 65° F. California Heron: One flew over the south end of the swamp. Mallard: About 50 individuals present at the north end of the swamp. Green-winged Teal: A flock of about 25 which allowed me to get very close to them were present at the north side of the swamp. No positive identification of blue-winged teals were made although I saw what was likely a female blue-winged or Cinnamon teal. The flock of blue-winged teal previously noted at the south end of the swamp was either not present or managed to stay out of my view. Sharp-shinned Hawk: One individual was seen making passes at a lone barn swallow about 25 feet off the ground. Western Red-tail: One over the swamp. Marsh Hawk: At least two individuals were present. Ring-necked Pheasant: Individuals were flushed often on. American Coot: 17 were present at the usual location near the west bridge. Killdeer: Only one individual. Northwestern Flicker: Individuals here and there. Barn Swallow: One individual as noted above. There was in addition a small flock of swallows present which was too high to make identification possible. Seattle Wren: one in an ash thicket. Tule Wren: two noted. Northwestern Robin: Several not together. Western Pipit: A couple of small flocks passed over. Yellow-throat: Heard only. Northwestern Red-wing: A flock of about 100 in the ash at the south- east side of the swamp. Brewer's Blackbird: Scattered individuals passed over. California Purple Finch: Several passed Over. Northern Pine Siskin: A couple of small flocks passed over. Willow Goldfinch: A couple of small flocks passed over. White-crowned Sparrow: A mixed flock of white-crowns and golden-crowns totaling about 15 birds was present in the sweetbriar thicket along the fence south of the shacks. Golden-crowned Sparrow: see above. Forbush's Sparrow. A lone sparrow slightly smaller than a rusty song sparrow and displaying the marks of this species (redish-brown crown marks divided by a center line and no yellow superciliary line as in the savannah sparrow) was flushed from the grass and weeds on the east side of the swamp. Unfortunately it stayed within view for only a few seconds. Previously I have always thought of this species as occuring in flocks here. Rusty Song Sparrow: Two or three noted. David B.

White-fronted Geese - flushed 8 at north end in with Mallards, Baldpates, etc. They circled over the entire swamp, calling, and eventually ended up at a stubble field nearby, where they were perched when we left. Mallards - flushed flock of 75 at south end, and in the mixed mass at the north end, about 65-70% of the birds, or 350& were Mallards Gadwall - one was seen, flying alone, when we flushed the other ducks Baldpates - heard them whistling, and later flushed them with the mallards, and pintails, and shovellers. There must have been at least 50 of them in the group, and they were the first seen this year. Pintails - flushed 10 or so at the south end, and got up 50-75 with the other ducks at the north end. Some males in full white breasted plumage, while others were strongly tinged with a rosy-tan breast.

Merganser - we saw one for an instant, but did not get to identify it. It was too large to be a Hooded Merganser, I know. Osprey - I spotted one circling in a "thermal" at the north end of the swamp, and while we watched it climbed at least another 500' before deciding to level off, with slightly curved-back set wings, and head south, dropping slightly as it went, thus increasing its speed a great deal. It was soon lost too view, because of the distance and the altitude. Perhaps it found another thermal farther south, and climbed on it, leveling off, and heading south on a long glide again. This method is described in Dickey and vanhossem's Birds of El Salvador for the Swainson's Hawk. (p.17) Coot - these were about the only waterfowl seen in numbers - at least 250-300 present.

NW Shrike - we watched one fly from a taller ash near the swamp to a fence row several 100 yards away, and saw it make frequent sallies toward the ground after insects. It did not come towards us when we "squeeked" it, altho we did get responses out of nearby Seattle Wrens and Song Sparrows. Later it flew back where we had first seen it, and I heard it give its rather high-pitched cry or scolding (??) notes. As we left the swamp area, we saw one near the railroad trucks, possibly this same individual - who knows?? Audubon Warbler - a few in the area. NW Redwings - 40 or 50 birds in the area. Oregon Juncos in the fence rows Golden-crowned Sparrows - a few in the fence rows Song Sparrows here and there. Oregon Towhee - a few in fence rows Notes: since last week, rains raised the water level at least 15", resulting in its flooding of most of the grass + mud cows, leaving open water over most of the area. Very, very few waterfowl were present. An increase in Coots was noted; probably they were there all the time, but hidden by the vegetation previously. October 21, 1947, Oak-fir ridge 3 miles W of 12-mile Swamp, 1455-1535, Mountain Quail - flushed 6 or so near the point they have been seen other times.

Blue Herons present just about everywhere one would look. Canada Geese, mostly lessers - several flocks of 50 or so flying around - probably about 1000 around the entire reservoir. Mallards - a couple of pair is all that was seen Mergansers (Red-breasted) - a pair of full adults seen. They looked large, probably larger than the Am Red-breasted should look, but they both possessed definite crests, and the chest was dark, not clear white, as in the American. Sparrow Hawks - a couple Coots - not too many of them seen. Killdeer - in with the sandpipers, and also in groups and singles by themselves. Wilson Snipe - a few flushed along old Elmira road.

Dowitchers - a flock of 5 were feeding in a slightly isolated groups a ways from the huge flock of other species on one of the mud-flats. Western Sandpipers - in a mixed flock with the leasts, a huge flock of several hundred or so, and perhaps a few Red-backed in with them. Glaucous-winged Gull - a couple of adults around the dam. Ring-billed Gull - adults observed along the mud-flats at the south end. Short-billed Gull - at edge of water on mud-flat at north end - Species not real certain.

Green-winged Teal - there must have been a total of 4500-5000 of them at the swamp today, and what a thrilling sight it was to watch them wheel and turn in unison. One flock picked up some male Shovellers, and after a few banks, the Shovellers ended up at the head of the line, and they retained that position for sometime! It was indeed a wonderful thing to watch, and it is too bad that it all couldn't be seen at the same moment. Shovellers - a few full males and immature males or females with the Green-winged Teal. They were in flight with them (see above). Ruddy Ducks - only a couple were seen. No full males Cooper Hawk - 1 flew over north end.

They were in the tops of cottonwoods and also many more on the ground, feeding, etc. About 1600, one bunch of 600 or so were flushed and later resettled in the area. All the time more crows were beginning to come in. About 1630 they started taking off in groups, with stragglers inbetween, climbing steadily, spiralling, and working due NW against a strong N wind at that level (about 3000'). By 1700, the first birds could barely be seen with my field glasses, as they were approx. 5 mi. NW, there being a nearly con- tinuous line from that point to the starting point. Perhaps 3-4000 birds total

with my field glasses, as they were in line. W.W... There being a nearly open wind at that level (about 30000).

TWELVE MILE (MOFADDEN'S SWAMP) AT BRUCE, BENTON CO., ORE. Weather: Cloudy with showers. Warm Date: 14 Feb. 48 09:00 - 16:30. List includes birds on north ponds and all that could be seen from the road on the south pond. Blue Heron - A couple around. American Bittern - While eating lunch in the jeep on the road just east of the Muddy Cr. bridge noticed something in the road which looked like a paper sack that was open. Checked it with the binoculars and found it to be a bittern standing still with neck pulled in. A minute later it began walking very, very slowly and deliberately back into the swamp. The movement was so slow that the bird's camouflage was still effective even on the gravel. Eventually it went back into the swamp, but several minutes later I noticed it back in the road. This time it moved slowly toward the other side with neck stretched almost to a complete horizontal position. Just before it got back into the swamp, a car came along and at the last moment the bittern awkwardly took to the air. Canada Geese - Didn't notice any cacklers although there might have been some. There was four to five thousand in all which moved from the north swamp to the south swamp. Mallard - [illegible] around 200 Baldpate - one male Pintail - around 100. Green-winged Teal - Probably 4,000 or more altogether. During the morning for [illegible] some time the green-winged teal were kept in the air by a female marsh hawk which kept making passes at them. The passes were lazy like and the hawk appeared to be playing. Shoveller - About 150. Sex ratio equaled. Ruddy Duck - two or three. Red-tail - one hung around Muddy Cr. during the morning. Sparrow Hawk - two around the triangulation tower. Ruffed Grouse - Flushed a ruffed grouse twice in the oak and ash along Muddy Cr. It may have been the same bird both times.

Coot - around 100. Killdeer - one or two. Wilson's Snipe - only one. Flicker Say's Phoebe - On a fence post west of the cabin. Seemed like Eastern Oregon having this bird and the shrike in view at the same time without even moving my binoculars. Raven Oregon Chickadee - one flock Seattle Wren Tule Wren Robin Varied Thrush - one in the ash. Western Bluebird - scattered flocks. Golden-crowned Kinglet - one flock in the ash along Muddy Cr.

March 26, 1948, Oak Ridge, 2 miles NW of Corvallis, S slope - 1400-1615 -Ovc/ The first warm day we've had! Vulture - circling over the ridge Redtail Hawks - a pair circling over the ridge above me, crying at short intervals. They kept this up all the time I was clambering over the ridge, and finally they came closer as I went down an open slope, one of the birds setting its wings, and swooping in from at least 1/2-mile away, but pulled out and hovered about 50 feet above me, screaming all the time. I suspected a nearby nest, but couldn't spot one, so sat down and waited, watching the two hawks "talk to each other" with a set of notes (barking-like) entirely new to me, as they made partial contact, but they eventually circled way up and went over the ridge, and then I happened to look below me, and there was the nest. In a clump of ash and cottonwoods on a flat ledge at the very base of this steep open slope was the nest, about 45-50' up in a Cottonwood (about 22" DBH). As I was above the nest I could see something white, but it was so far away I couldn't tell if it was a downy young, or eggs. I will check later with more powerful glasses. The parents were not in the area all the rest of the time I was there. Valley Quail in thicket of rose and willow on open pasture slope - creek thru it. Pheasants - flushed several from the top of a ridge, under a clump of oaks. One cock crowed from an oak slope later in the afternoon. Flickers - feeding on boggy ground in the open flats below the hill. Pileated Woodpecker workings common in the cottonwood-ash swamp area, particularly in the very rotten snags. Work observed a few feet and 35 feet above ground. photo taken. Winter workings, for they were reasonably fresh. NW Red-breasted Sapsucker - working the ash and maple Crows - calling from the fields below the hill, and a few flew over, in westerly direct Slender-billed Nuthatch - usual calls, together with spring song. Robins - a few in the oaks, and on open pasture slopes Varied Thrush - one in the swamp brush on the ledge of the south hill slope W. Bluebirds - a few calling and perched in tops of oaks Ruby-crowned Kinglet - in maple thicket in swampy area under cottonwoods and oaks Audubon Warblers - scattered singles and pairs working the oaks, call notes and songs. Meadowlarks - singing from the ground, posts, and oak trees Purple Finches - 4 or 5 of them perched silently in top of an oak at 2 p.m. Juncos - many working the brushy slopes, and I observed one courtingpair in a clump of oak near the Fox den. New songs and notes were heard, and each time the one (male?) would approach, the female would utter another set of notes, and hop or fly away. They eventually parted, while I watched. No contact made. Song Sparrows - a couple in sedge clumps on marshy area. March 26, 1948, Corvallis W. Evening Grosbeaks - flocks in maples and elms on the campus this a.m. Calling Rufous Hummingbird - heard the first one of the year, just like last year, in my own back yard. I looked out, and it was hovering over the Oregon Grape March 27, 1948, Oak Ridge 2 mi. NW of Corvallis, 1400-1615 , Brkn,thin/ warm, calm 5 Vultures circling together, and 2 Redtails circling above them dive-bombed them as they approached the vicinity of the Redtail nest sight. Redtail Hawks - the two chased off the vultures, and soon a third Redtail joined them & they circled and sailed around, but no conflicts ensued - they all moved west over the ridge, and we climbed the hill above the nest, but even with 32X magnification we could detect no eggs, or young. Inasmuch as courting activities were observed yesterday, perhaps nesting has not begun for this pair. Valley Quail in willow-rose bush thicket by a small creek Pheasants - several crowed just as a blasting explosion occured. Killdeer - a few Flicker Red-breasted Sapsucker working the alder W. Crows - 15 or 20 seen - not together - feeding infield Oregon Chickadees - in willow and alder-ash area Robins - a few feeding on the soggy ground W.

Crow - a couple flew over. Oregon Chickadees - working ash fence row Seattle Wren - singing song new to me - thought was a part of Song Sparrow Song. Tule Wrens - several scolding, and "bubbling" around the swamp area. Robins Pipits - a few flew over NW Shrike - perched on wire line where I saw it one week ago. Audubon Warblers - not many present this time. Working ash trees as before. Meadowlarks - singing Redwings were present when we arrived. No demonstration of territories, etc. yet.

Olive-sided Flycatcher - heard 2 calling from cottonwoods near Willamette R., off east end of Corvallis bridge. Violet-green Swallow - a few over the timber and fields. Cliff Swallow - saw just one beating back and forth low over a green wheat field. It came within 25 feet of me, to the north, so I had a good view. Oregon Chickadees - a few in flock. Working firs, mostly. Bush Tits - in with flock - couldn't count the numbers. W. Bluebirds - flying over, and calling. Audi/ Ruby-crowned Kinglets - quite a few in with flock of Audubons and Ore.

For the first time I have had what must be a similar feeling to that of an ornithologist in the eastern states during the height of the warbler migration, because in the oak-ash-fir Owl-creek habitat this noon I was thrilled for many minutes (till I decided to move on) to find myself with hundreds of birds all around me, feeding, many within arms reach, and all entirely oblivious to my presence. There was one Stellar Jay in their midst, and Oregon Chäckadeés numbered from 50 to 75, at least. And Red-breasted Nuthatches - 4 or 5 were seen. A few local Winter Wrens got excited with all the other birds present, and also a Seattle Wren was in with the bunch. And Hermit Thrush - just one of these stayed in the lower story of brush inthe feeding area. Ruby-crowned Kinglets - there must have been over 100 of them, together with Golden-crown Kinglets, which were less numerous, about 50 to 60 in number. And the Audubon Warbler made up the bulk of the feeding flock. There were well over 300 of the birds, for without turning my eyes at all,I could see at least 2 dozen close in, and the flock extended for at least 100 feet in all directions from me. A few were full adults, but more were immatures, just getting their adult dress. They were quite curious of my whistling, and approached very closely. W. Meadowlark - heard singing. Evening Grosbeaks - flew over (Also many more on the OSC campus now, since the leaf buds are beginning to come out). Song Sparrow Oregon Towhee - just 2 seen. April 4, 1948, "Davis Lake", Owl Cr., SE of Corvallis - 1300-1330, SW10-25, RW- 2 Mallards flushed, 1 Ring-neck male, and a pair of Wood Ducks from this lake. Flicker - pair courting from top of 35' 10" D. Fir snag in cut-over area. Red-breasted Sapsucker - 1 in with winter flock which was almost as large as the other. Oregon Chickadees - in with Meadowlark calling Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and Chipping Sparrow calling from fir snag in cut-ow Golden-crowned Kinglets, and 1 Song Sparrow Lutescent Warbler was in with them. Audubon Warbler - 100-125 in this flock. OVER OVER

April 4, 1948, 2 miles W of Corvallis, Oak Creek. 2 p.m. 10 Ovc, W 20-30, R-S-A-! Killdeer nest reported by Geo. Wint on March 22 is now empty.

April 5, 1948, ½-mile W of Adair Village, Benton Co., 3 p.m. Dusky Horned Owl - Charley Cutress took me to a nest he had spotted about, at which time2eggs were present. The "nest" is the open top of a snapped-off Douglas Fir 2½' dia., open on top, and to the east, but "walled in" to the north, west, and south. Height about 25 feet. The snag was a quite open site in old burn and logged-over area, with only a few scattered tall D. Firs in the area, the nearest some 100 feet away. The snag was on a NNE slope, slightly sheltered by the ridge to the south of it. We could spot the nest over a ¼-mile away, and the female was in the niche with the young, but left before we were 1/8 mile away, at least. It stayed in the D. Fir woods nearby and made no sounds until we got to the snag. Then a few "who's" were emitted. As Charley went up the ladder to the nest, both parents started giving various scolding and call notes, one of which was like a "bark"; another not unlike one note the Black-billed Magpie emits. Also they chattered their bills, and the young bird gave a deeper cracking noisy with its bill as we brought the bird to the ground. Its eye sight seemed quite poor, and it observed only bright things in front of its eyes, and fast movements not over a foot or so away. Tarsus was almost fully developed, and do wn-covered. Iris, bright yellow. Contour feathers developing, and primaries to 2½" of feather vane already exposed. Much "powder" present. Length about 10-12". Banded it with size 8, #44-812061. Both parents were in firs less than 100 feet away, the big, dark male with the c lean white chin patch usually quite, but occasionally "who-ing" a little. The female was not quite as large, and was almost a gray-tan, rather than the darker gray-brown of the male. She gave the barking calls previously mentioned. Much feces was on the snag about the top of the nest, and a few recently-acquired pheasant feathers were caught on the sides of the snag, and on the ground around the snag - it was a hen bird. About 50 feet to the east was a 12-15" D. Fir in which an adult bird must roost, for numerous pellets were on the ground around the nest. The more recent ones had such things as the full foot of a pheasant in them. Others the crushed and broken femur, and in another was a part of a pelvis. The adults did not return directly to the nest, altho it began to rain as we left. Band-tailed Pigeons - a pair flew across the hiway into the oak woods near Adair village. Dusky Horned Owl - two in one day is too much, but on the hill to the south of Coffin Butte we spotted an old Redtail Hawk nest 40& feet up in a Big-leaf Maple (buds just breaking), on an open east slope, not over ¼-mile from the highway. The tree stood by itself. Charley clapped his hands and a bird stretched its wings and tail - another horned owl - it flew off presently, flying into the oaks on top of the hill to the west. I climbed to the nest and found, unfortunately, two eggs about 10-12 incubation . Too bad, I wanted to band them. We left then, and went on over the hill, having not attracted both of the owls, only one calling occasionally while I was up the tree. About 15-20 minutes later we returned, and the owl was again on the nest, tho we had taken the eggs. Red-tail Hawk - checked a nest at 30-35 feet in a maple on a north slope, at the lower edge of the oak and brush belt, ½-way up the slope. No sign of life, yet. In this clump of maples was one dead snag, riddled with large holes. In the very top, some 18 feet up, was a nest of flying squirrels. We saw 3 of them. There may have been more.

Marshall Canada Goose - Flushed about 50 of them from the far south pond and then failed to see anymore. Mallard - Saw perhaps 20, mostly paired. Pintail - About 30 pairs. Green-winged Teal - Perhaps 500 in all, mostly in the north field. Shoveller - About 100 in all, mostly paired. Buffle-head - One female in the channel running between the two south ponds. Turkey Vulture Marsh Hawk - one male Ring-necked Pheasant Virginia Rail - Heard one in the heavy growth between the two south ponds. Later saw one where we cross the fence in going along the east edge of the main pond. American Coot - about 60 Killdeer - the one bird still on the road. Wilson's Snipe - Walked across the north field and didn't flush a snipe, but flushed one along the main pond. Western Solitary Sandpiper - Tom spotted this one between a yellowlegs and a Killdeer in a new growth of spike-rush. We watched for some time and got fairly close to it. It teetered for us once, and when it finally flew off it showed us plainly its lengthwise stripes down its tail with black and white cross-bars. It also gave its call-note, which sounded like a spotted sandpiper only higher. Greater Yellow-legs - There were around 25 in the area with a flock of at least 20 in the north field. Mourning Dove - One cooing along the east edge of the main pond from the ash. Violet-Green Swallow Tree Swallow Rough-winged Swallow - Saw and heard at least one at the south end. There were probably more of them. Cliff Swallow Crows Oregon Chickadee Bushtits - In the ash and spirea along the board walk.

McFADDEN'S SWAMP, 13 MILES SOUTH OF CORVALLIS, BENTON CO., ORE. April 25, 1948 09:00 to 13:00 Weather: Broken clouds with a rain shower Observer: D.B. Marshall Mallard - Just a few pairs scattered around. Pintail - Around 20 pairs Green-winged Teal - Only about 75, mostly in the far south pond. Shoveller - Around 30 pairs Wood Duck - Flushed one from the field outlet at the far NW corner of the north field. Ruddy Duck - Tom saw one male and two female as he passed through during the afternoon of this same day. Turkey Vulture - Several circled around all morning. Sharp-shinned Hawk - One over the creek. Ring-necked Pheasant - Heard some cocks crowing. Virginia Rail - Heard rail often on in the swamp and saw a pair together standing in some shallow water. Apparently they didn't know I was around. Coots. Kildeer Wilson's Snipe - Flushed several Greater Yellow-legs - Saw 25 in one flock in the north field. There was another flock of about 10 and perhaps others. Horned Owl - Saw this one come out of the ash between Muddy Cr. and the north field. Vaux's Swift - Watched one for some time in with a flock of swallows at the south end. After reading Blake's descriptions of swallow flights in the Auk I was cautious on this one to be positive that it couldn't be a bank swallow. The small size, peculiar tapering tail, wing movement like a bat and typical swift twittering notes gave it away. Rufous Hummingbird - Along Muddy Cr. Cairdner Woodpecker - At the swamp outlet in the ash. Violet-Green Swallow Tree Swallow Cliff Swallow Purple Martin - High over the north field. Crows - several went over. Oregon Chickadee Bushtit - A pair at the swamp outlet; Slender-billed Nuthatch - In the ash along Muddy Cr. Seattle Wren Tule Wren Robin Cassin's Vireo - Along Muddy Cr. Lutescent Warbler - Along Muddy Cr. Audubon Warbler " " " Black-throated Gray Warbler - In the ash between the north field and Muddy Cr. First was attracted by a warbler call note which prompted me to look up to see what it was - a beautiful black- throsted Gray, which sang several times and was soon joined by another. Yellow-throats Fileclated Warbler ? - Sure thought I heard one sing several times across the creek from the swamp outlet, but I failed to see him. Western Meadowlark - Singing in the field across Muddy Cr. Over

Red-wings Purple Finch - Along Muddy Cr. Ore. Towhee Savannah Sparrows - North Field, several Vesper Sparrow - Singing in the field across from Muddy Cr.

LEADBETTER PROPERTY, Bordered by Smith Lake and Willamette and Columbia Rivers, Multnomah Co., Oregon May 9, 1948 08:45 - 12:00 Weather - High clouds Observers - W.H. Telfer and D.B. Marshall California Heron - Spent some time looking at the rockery. From the sound, we would judge some young birds have hatched. Adults carrying nesting material to some extent. The rockery is as large or larger than our past estimate of 175 to 200 nests. It appears as though some additional nests have been made at the west end of the colony, but this is not certain. Mallard - A few scattered pairs. Wood Duck - Pairs here and there. Western Red-tail - One around the rockery. Herring Gull - One adult in beautiful plumage in a temporary lake above the club house. Harris Woodpecker Gairdner Woodpecker Wright or Hammond Flycatcher - There were a number of these birds in with western flycatchers next to the heron rockery. We were first attracted to them by their call notes which were so familiar to Bill from the upper Clackamas River and to me from Fremont Forest. They gave the call note similar to the western only ending in a slightly lower note in addition to the two slurred end notes. Observations on these birds showed little yellow on [illegible] the belly. A lighter colored wash extended down the belly in the form of a wide line. These birds were probably one of the two, hamondi or wrighti. It must be admitted that the difficilis also will give at times two slurred end notes. Western Flycatcher - see above. Tree Swallow - Throughout the area. One young showing the [illegible] washed brown underparts was observed perched on a limb be- side an adult tree swallow. The adult made several attempts at feeding the young one. This is rather early for young to be out, but on the otherhand I doubt very much that the above bird could have been a Bank swallow. Good observation was afforded. Western Crow - Along the Columbia Oregon Chicksdee - Found one nest in a cottonwood stub about 7' of the ground. It appeared empty so far as eggs as young, but we could see that it contained some nesting material and the adults were going in and out. Seattle Wren - Young appeared from the hole about 10 feet up in the dead top of a willow while an adult bird was feeding. Robin Western Bluebird - By the club house Sitka Kinglet - One individual chasing another. Cassin's Vireo - Heard only one. Western Warbling Vireo - Heard singing near the rockery. Bill also saw one. Lutescent Warbler - Only one Yellow Warbler - Singing everywhere Myrtle Warbler - One of several. A male showed his white throat very well. Black-throated Gray Warbler - Observed a quiet one near the rockery Yellow-throat - Only one - near the rockery Over

Long-tailed Chat - Calling at the rockery. Pileated Warbler - " and singing at the rockery. Bullock's Oriole - One at the entrance and one at the rockery.

Oregon Towhee - neat the entrance Chipping Sparrow EMMELIN Junco, Oregon or Shufeldt Golden-crowned Sparrow - A flock at the rockery. Fox Sparrow - In a blackberry thicket along the river below the entrance. Song Sparrow David B. Marshall

May 15, 1948, 12-mile Swamp, 0700-0845 -Brkn/ calm, cool. Took Natural History class out. Blue Heron - one flying over north end. Anthony's Green Heron - one over ash on west side. Saw it twice Bittern - heard one pumping about 0730. Mallards - well-paired up, but only a half dozen pairs seen. Blue-winged Teal - saw at least two full males at widely scattered spots this a.m. Two at about the same time, so they couldn't have been the same ones Shovellers - about 15 males and 5 females in the area. Few paired up, and many males jockeying for positions behind the female, when they are in flight. Vulture - just one Osprey - one flew low over the north end, with a Redwing Blackbird right behind it. Sparrow Hawk - on wire line. Pheasants calling Coots - about 10 seen altogether - one on wood raft, preening itself. Virginia Rail - flushed at least 3 different ones in area near the cabin. Gave 2 calls. Wilson Snipe - at least 5 in area. Fooled by thinking we heard a Screech owl for a while, but located 1, 2, or 3 birds sailing around high above us, and sometimes quite low over the swamp. Wirmowing took place up high only, however. Tones made with the wings, which are fluttered quite rapidly as they swoop with a slight drop in altitude. If wirmowing takes place while there is a deeper swoop, the tone becomes richer, more mellow, and lower. Dowitcher - one flew toward the north end as we came into the swamp. Black Tern - Jack Von Borstel first spotted it. A full plumaged dark male with white under tail flying slowly to the north. Had a peculiar type of wing-beat, as if it was about to check its forward motion. Phil Dumas saw this species on the spring bird count last year at this swamp, but this is the first time I have seen it, ever - a new bird for my life list! Mourning Doves - several pairs around Violet-green Swallows not too common Barn Swallows commonest Cliff Swallows, too, and they were dipping into the open water areas near the center. Horned Larks on fence posts and singing, on way out to the swamp. Raven - one seen Crows - a couple Seattle Wren Tule Wrens here and there, but comparatively quite this time of the day. Robins - a few Yellow Warblers calling here and there Aucubon Warbler - one immature bird seen. One yellow on rump, nowhere else. This year?? Black-throated Gray Warbler - one in ash tree Pacific Yellowthroats everywhere Pileolated Warblers quite common W. Meadowlarks singing. Redwings everywhere - found many nests, but only one with an egg in it. Late this year. Brewer/Blackbirds - a few Western Tanager - one full male in ash thicket by the swamp. Unusual habitat - migrant. Lazuli Bunting - in ash spirea fence row along east side. Oregon Towhees Juncos Song Sparrows 38 species 53 " total forth day (3 hours) 62 " " " " (+4 p.m. hrs.)

Contd 5-7-95 - 10:15 p.m. Pied-billed grebe. Heard no owls so I gave the Boreal Owl call. Got an answer almost immediately from Birkenedge area 100' from road during a 10 minute period. I repeated this 2 more times. The call started out anxiously as a boreal owl, but ended with a series of "keeyou"s. At first they were as loud & fast as the "wattle" notes, but became progressively slower & lower in pitch, the last "keeyou" being barely audible at a distance of 50' or so. At 2 p.m. on the 18th - we gave the call again & got a similar response! We lined it up & went out to it - found a floating nest made of damp & soggy rotten sedge, etc. Tags in wet cavity, completely covered by similar rotten vegetation. Took 2 pics. Eggs a tan-buff color - very dirty. Took picture.

Meadowlark singing Yellow-headed Blackbird - heard call several times, but didn't check up on it till later, at which time we could not find it. Redwing everywhere - found many nest with eggs, most in Spirea, some in Sedge. 2 nest with 4 eggs each were not over 8 feet apart. One nest empty last Saturday (May 15th) had 4 eggs this p.m. One new nest being constructed in sedge so close to a last-year's nest that the sides of the two nests were touching.

Redtails (????) several circling low over the summit of the butte. Didn't look exactly like redtails, and had immature plumage, characterized by prominent dark head and throat, with sharp demarcation between neck and chest, which was light. Sparrow Hawk - female perched on post beside gravel road Cedar Waxwings - pair at the Cattail-Quarry pond Meadowlarks - both adults and young were seen Willow Goldfinches feeding on Thistles, e c. Vesper Sparrows common August 8, 1947, Fern Ridge Reservoir, Lane Co. 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sctd-Brkn Clouds White Pelicans - about 30 seen, scattered well over the S. end. /// With Bill Graf Farallon Cormorants - a few were seen. Blue Herons - plenty of them were seen American Egret - a total of 4 were seen this a.m. We flushed them from the NE side and watched them fly to the south end, a distance of several miles, where we later saw them again. Green Herons - 2 or 3 were seen Cackling Goose - we flushed one from the NE side, and it layed around close, never leaving the vicinity, too far. Mallards - several flushed, all in eclipse plumage, for no full drakes were seen Pintails - again I saw several of these birds. Some males in full plumage "Blue-winged"Teal - of either the Blue-winged or Cinnamon species. 3 were observed resting and preening near the Elmire road, all in the obscure plumage, altho the wing-patches showed up well, no other color differentiation could be made. Wood Ducks - many were seen at various locations around the reservoir. Many up to 2 miles from the nearest ash or oak woods. Vultures - plenty soaring over the area. Marsh Hawk - female flying low over a field, and alit two times in it Sparrow Hawks seen now and then.

Coot - several seen at the south end of the reservoir Killdeer - a few seen Hudsonian Curlew - one flew over about 100 yards from Bill and I, and it gave its rather melodius "cur-lew" call as it headed south past us. The bill was not outstandingly long, not being over 4" at all, and the over-all size of the bird was not large enough to warrant our calling it a Long-billed Curlew. Least Sandpipers - as before, this species was around the Elmira road, and were very tame, allowing us to approach with 5 feet of them in "Tangy", the Ford. Many flocks of varied sizes in the vicinity Western Gulls - saw 4 immature birds of the year flying the area, and found one dead at the edge of the road.

Killdeers in scattered pairs or very small groups Mourning Doves in very small groups on fences and wire lines Horned Larks very common along all roads, in most fields, many singing. Violet-greens, Barn, and Cliff Swallows in flocks of up to several hundred perched on the wire lines. The Tree Swallows aren't quite so numerous, and won't be seen over almost all the fields the way the aforementioned species are. Pacific Yellowthroats seem to be present in almost all little strips of fence row brush Brewer Blackbirds not very numerous now, as they have been most of the summer Lazuli Buntings perched on wire lines along most of the roads, several to the mile. Chipping Sparrows seem to be flocked up in numbers now and working the fence rows and fields. NIGHTHAWKS SEEN + HEARD ALL HRS OF THE DAY, + HEARD LATE AT NITE

Pied-billed Grebe - a pair seen at edge of ash clump in spike-rush area at 9 a.m. calling Blue Herons - several feeding in area, and others seen to fly over. Anthony's Green Heron - probably just one individual seen at north end in a.m., but another seen in the p.m. at the south end. Bittern - just one flushed from sedge area near ash island in north half. No nest found. Mallards - a couple of full males seen, and other not in full plumage. At least a half dozen females around, and each gave evidence of having families. I flushed 3 different groups of young in various parts of the swamp, that could not fly. These groups contained 7, 8, and 11 totals. Some hens tried to decoy me away. Wood Duck - just 2 flushed from scrub ash between the swamp and Muddy creek. Bufflehead - at 2 p.m. I spotted an immature Hooded Merganser (probably 3/4 size) in company with a female or immature Bufflehead on the south end pond. It was probably an immature, for the wing speculum was not full white yet, just a tinge of grayish. These two birds moved together, but only the Bufflehead did any diving while I watched. Another imm. or female Hooded Merganser was on the same pond, about 30 feet away. I finally flushed these birds, each Merganser going in a different direction, and the Bufflehead to the far-south pond. When I approached this pond I saw there were no w two Buffleheads in the same state of plumage. I watched them for at least 15 minutes, pushing them just a little bit as I moved towards them. While I was doing this, the merganser that had been accompanying the 1st bufflehead I saw now swam up a "creek" (which ran thru this part of the swamp" and finally joined the two buffleheads. I got within 50 feet of them on open water, and studied them a while longer before flushing them, and then all three birds returned to the first pond on which I had seen one of them. Bufflehead eye - brown. Hooded Merganser - see text of Bufflehead Turkey Vultures - circling over the area continuously all the time I was there. Marsh Hawk - female adult seen, over field to the east of the swamp. Found no nest in the swamp area. Sparrow Hawks - a couple of them on wire lines along road. Bob-whites - 3 in gravel road by the cabin at 9 a.m. Valley Quail - calling from Muddy creek area west of swamp. Virginia Rail - I came across at least 7 separate family groups over the entire swamp today. Even the young gave the loud alarm notes, and they would practically surround me if I happened to move into their midst. No downy young seen. All were well-feathered, but lighter colored than the adults it seemed to me. Sora Rail - did not find any nests, and only heard one bird about 10 a.m. Killdeer - calling as they flew around the area. Wilson's Snipe - when I arrived at the swamp I saw one bird fly from the swamp area and light in a field 100 feet from the road. That was 9 a.m. At noon I went out into that area where I had seen it light, and flushed it from a now dry "winter-pool" area that was mostly bare, still damp ground, but with scattered grasses, Allium amplexens, Downingia elegans, and Mimulus tricolor, and Plagiobothrys figuratus, giving some idea of the site. Tho I coured over the area, I was unsuccessful in locating a nest, or young. Mourning Love - several pairs in the area. Found a new nest located on the north side of a spirea clump along the east edgg of an ash grove. The nest was on a horizontal 1" ash limb, that was dead. Nest of grasses, and about 5" across. One adult was on the nest, but no eggs, etc. Nest well-shaded. Nest #2 - Located in some nearly horizontal, dead limbs of a Spirea douglasii bush that provided plenty of shade for the nest, which was of grasses, and 5" across. The nest was on the SE side of the bush, with outlet to the SE only. The nest was only 10" above the water !!! There were two "wire-covered" dark-skinned young birds sitting quietly side-by-side facing to the SE. Total length about 3 1/2". No flight feathers open yet, tho shafts were over 1" long already. Banded #41-354644 & 45. The spirea shrub was at least 75' from the nearest dry land, and isolated by water. Rufous Hummingbirds - a couple seen. W.

Meadowlark on grass island at south end. Redwings plentiful. Area full of young birds. Second nestings really under way with many new nests, mostly in spirea and ash - the first nests are usually built in Carex obnupta, before these 2 shrubs leaf out. I banded 5 more nestlings, and there are 8 or so too young to band yet. I watched adults catching large dragonflies - Libellulids to take to the nestlings.. Brewer Blackbird - a few flew over Willow Goldfinch - a pair seen Vesper Sparrow in field along east side of swamp. Song Sparrows - everywhere - many immatures present. June 20, 1948, Avery Park, 1300, 15 Ovc RW-, SW -2-8. Silver Pheasant female on new nest just 14" south of previous nesting, of which there was nothing left but a few pieces of broken egg shell! Hatched or eaten??? She was reticent to leave the nest, for it was cool, and I patted her head before she did. She uttered low, guttural chortles all the while. There were 6 eggs in the nest.

I could whistle a good imitation of it, and it would answer immediately. I finally got it silhouetted against the sky and saw it was this species. At intervals it would bother a Blue Heron perched in the ash, also it flushed a female or immature Hooded Merganser from the ash area. Pacific Nighthawks - estimate 12-15 present, some a little larger than others. Seldom calling, and most feeding over open water areas, occasionally dipping low to scoop up water with their lower bill. Graceful and beautiful flyers. Horned Lark dusting at .0700 in gravel road.

June 23, 1948, Cottage Grove Reservoir, LaneCo. 0800-1600, clear, warm N3-15 Gordon Gullion, Ben Pruitt, and I Pied-billed Grebe - I heard my old "coot calls" today, but on tracing them down I saw nothing but these grebes, so I will have to change my previous records entered under the "coot", calls, nest and all !!!! Saw them in 2 different areas. Watched one raise its tail and head and slip under water in a "V" without making so much as a ripple. Blue Heron - just one seen Green Heron - I flew up and down the river area above the reservoir. Mallards - a flight of 10, also a pair with eggs or young, but we couldn't find them. Wood Ducks - a flight of 7, and then 1 full male in pond-lily slough in woods. Turkey Vulture - just a couple or 3 seen over the water, others over hills Cooper Hawk - saw a couple of them, perhaps the same one twice. Reatail Hawk - one seen Osprey - heard a "hawk" screaming weakly - finally located an adult osprey at a height of about 2000-2500 feet. It was sailing SW, soon after this another adult came over lower, in the same direct, and then an immature bird, in brown plumage, and later, on the lake, we saw another adult. Sparrow Hawk Mountain Quail - a few along brush in fir area on north slope. Mourning Doves - a few Barn-tai-ied Pigeon - a flight of 5 went over Vaux Swift - two over river area. Rufous Hummingbirds - many seen in woods edge and elsewhere. Flicker - nest at 25' in broken, rotten, but living fir, in partly cleared area. Opening to NE side. Birds went in an out, feeding young while I watched. NW Red-breasted Sapsucker - one in fir forest area. Little Flycatcher - must have seen and heard over 50 or 75 of them. Found nest just completed, but containing no eggs. On north side of clump of Doughias and white fir, in tall bracken fern growth at 4 feet above the ground, on a northeast slope, near where we located the Wren-tit! The nest had outside measurements of 3-4" deep and 31/2" diameter. Inside diameter 1 3/4" and inside depth was 11/2". Nest of grass with pieces of green moss. Fine grass and hair lined the nest. Nest in crotch of the fern. Horned Lark singing in field area. Violet-green Swallow Tree Swallows Rough-winged Swallow - nest burrow in 3' bank along the Willamette river above the reservoir -NNW bank. Burrow 2" above water, flat on the bottom, and oval arched.

Gordon Gullion first heard and saw it in a dense thicket on a northeast slope in the fir forest. We all got to view it for a considerable time. It was easily "decoyed", and I imitated its call easily, bringint it within arms reach of me several times. It was quite a rich brown color, so I assume it was this subspecies. It sang with us within 5 feet of it, and talking. I thought I noted a grayish, short arch of color over the eye. It flitted or ran along the brush limbs. The astonishing thing to me was not just to find the bird, but to note the habitat of the small area in which we found it, and in which it stayed, and circling around us while we watched it. The area was a thick tangle of vegetation, heavily shaded, moist, and cool. Douglas Fir, Hemlock,Chinquapin, and dogwood. Various shrubs including thick growth of salal to heights of 4 feet. Heavy, damp moss layers covered the ground in this area. We saw only the one bird.

Blackbirds seen only in Pennsylvania are the "red-winged blackbird" (Agelaius phoeniceus), which is common throughout North America, and the "yellow-headed blackbird" (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus), which breeds in Canada and winters in the southern United States. The red-winged blackbird is a member of the Icteridae family, commonly known as New World blackbirds. It is also sometimes referred to as the common redwing or marsh bird. The male has striking plumage with bright red and yellow patches on its wings, giving rise to its name. Females are duller brownish-gray. This species inhabits wetlands such as marshes, swamps, ponds, and lakeshores across much of North America. They prefer areas with emergent vegetation like cattails or reeds where they can build their nests near water level. During breeding season (April through August), males establish territories by singing loudly from high perches within these habitats. Their song consists mainly of two notes: a loud "chuck" followed by softer whistles that vary slightly depending upon individual dialects learned during early life stages. Nests are built low down amongst tall grasses or reeds close to water's edge using twigs lined with soft materials like feathers down found floating nearby on surface waters often covered over thick layer snow winter months until springtime when ice melts away revealing open spaces again suitable for nesting purposes later same year ahead eventually leading into summer season thereafter.

September 25, 1948, Grey Lodge Refuge, 0900-1430 PDST, Clear, warm, N 3-8, John Cowan P.O. Box 655, Gridley. (2600 acres) John tells me of the nesting: Mallards, mostly, Pintails, Gadwall-few,Cinnamon Teal-125 pairs, Shoveller-2 or 3 pair, Redhead-2pr, Ruddy's present-nest? Avocet and Stilt nest here. Pied-billed Grebe - many seen, and they would"fold-up" to submerged. Watched one steal a small Centrarchidae from another one. The fish was about 2\frac{1}{2}" long, and 1\frac{1}{4}-1\frac{1}{2}" deep. The grebe took it and swallowed it head first, flat side down-up Eared Grebe - one pair in near-winter plumage seen. Western Grebes - 2 different sets of 4 birds on one large pond. Each set had 2 adults and 2 youngbirds. More seen elsewhere during the p.m. White Pelicans - not over a dozen seen. Most had pink bills and fuzzy heads. Cormorants - Farallon - yellow pouches very showy this time. In pond with W. Brebes Coots, Pied-billed Grebes, Redheads, and Pelicans. Great Blue Herons - must be 30-40 adults and immatures on the area. American Egrets - few singles, and we saw 3 flying over 500 feet altitude. Snowy Egrets - just 1 seen. Anthony Green Heron - just 3 seen all day Least Bittern - flushed individually from the Scirpus. American Bittern - just one flushed Black-crowned Night-herons - none seen over the refuge till 2 p.m. when I found a heavy concentration at the west end of the "loafing pond". I'd estimate there were between 150-200 individuals. I could see over 50 perched on the Scirpus from one position. I flushed them by waving, shouting and clapping. Before I did this they sounded like a chicken-yard full of hens the way the chattered among themselves. This is the most I have ever seen. Contrasting these with the ones on the Sacramento Refuge where they perched in the taller willows, etc., at the edge of the ponds. White-fronted Geese - 15-20 seen. Others heard. John says they just came in the other day. Mallards - not many seen in the a.m, but this p.m. I flushed 100's in waves as I did the pintails in the a.m. Must be 2000 in the area. Baldpates - just 3 seen. First arrivals, as John hadn't seen them before this yearr. Pintails - 1000's present, and flushed this a.m. Few males in full plamage. Must have been 5000 in the area. Gadwalls - few seen Green-winged Teal - not over 50-100 seen. Cinnamon Teal - still many present. Must have seen over 750 today. Many males full. Shoveller - few seen. Wood Duck - 1 male in full plumage flushed from open water channel in Scirpus. Redheads - 4 immatures swimming close to cöots in open pond, at edge close to Sagittaria. Ruddy Duck - just 3 or 4 seen. No full males. Turkey Vultures - none seen on way up here, and none seen till about 930 a.m. Many seen over area. Two feeding on dead jack rabbit. White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus majusculus) - first ones I have ever seen. John took me to Porter's Pond where he knew they hung out. Seems they are quite sedentary in habits. The lst one I saw was perched in the dead top of a \frac{1}{2}-live willow with a Crow just 10 feet away, in the same tree. This bird soon flew low over the open area and served upward to perch on a dead willow tree, where the mate was already perched. Their habitat, here, seems to be scattered willows and cottonwoods, with mostly open marshy, or dry land in which it hunts. John says that from food pellet analysis they eat about 95% Microtus. Their nesting site this year was at a height of 11 feet on the SE side of one small willow adjacent to another willow, these two then being in a large open area. The nest was of flimsy structure. John banded 5 young birds, the adults would dive at him, tho never hitting. In the afternoon, both birds were present in the same area, but soon left when I walked thru their area. I did not see them again. They look just like the Black-winged Kite of India, that I saw at Karachi in 1945. Cooper Hawk - one adults flushed from the ground at the edge of the road. We could find no prey, but we did flush a covey of Valley Quail, which it may have been after Sharp-shinned Hawk - a couple were seen. [illegible]

Sept. 25th, Grey Lodge, continued: Redtail Hawks - quite a few in the area, mostly immatures. John shot one last week that was preying on pheasants. We flushed an immature that had just killed a hen of the year (bursa still prominent). Talon puncture in thich and back. It had begun to feed on the neck, just behind the head. Golden-Eagle - 2 immatures (windows in wings, and with basal 2/3 of tail white, and prominent black band near tip). They soared over fairly low, one held onto the tail of the other for a moment. These are the first for the year, says John. Marsh Hawks - many immatures and few adult females seen. Only 1 adult male seen. Duck Hawk - 1 flew over as we flushed some pintails. It made a fast pass$ at them, but they veered, and he didn't pursue further. His flight was very swift. Sparrow Hawk - common in area. Valley Quail - flushed one covey of about 10 birds. Pheasants - 100's present, in areas near flooded ponds, as well as in dry fields, of pasture, and of grain. Mostly immature birds, comparatively few adults seen. In the a.m. they were gathering grit from the gravel roads, and as the day warmed we would see them on the roads only in the shelter of willows, etc., or in the shade along fence rows, not out in the open. Jack Rabbits with them. Virginia Rail - 1 flushed - several heard. N.A. Black Gallinule - just a few seen. Coots - very common - over 1000 on area, I'd say. Killdeer - over 25 seen, scattered.

Western C rows - a few flying over area. 1 perched in willow with Kite. San Joaquin Bewick Wren - several heard scolding - saw 2 - 1 in willows and 1 in Scirpus Suisun Long-billed Marsh Wren - common - singing and scolding all hours. California Shrike - about 5 different ones seen in area. Usually close to dirt roads. Lutescent Warblers - 3 or 4 seen. Western Yellow throat - 2 seen in willow thicket over water. Gave 1-note alarm note. Pileolated Warblers - 2 or 3 seen in willows over, or near water. W. Meadowlarks - few on area, except in dry fields. English Sparrows - few around the headquarters area. Yellow-headed Blackbirds - about 50 seen. Many not seen, but heard with their peculiar notes in the Scirpus. Few full adult maeles seen. California Bicolor Redwing - comme n, and there has been quite an influx the past week according to John. In the fefuge they tend to congregate in large groups in spots of tules, putting forth a loud chatter. Brewer Blackbirds - seen mostly in the dry field areas.

White-tailed Kites - pair flying over tule area below the hiway, as well as across the highway over near barren hillsides south of the hiway. Watched a black- bird chasing one, and later saw them bantering with each other. Also watched them hover like the sparrow hawk. Tree Swallows - seemed to be quite a southward flight across this strip. Oct. 2, 1948, Grizzly Island Ferry, Griz. Is to Griz. Is. Land Co, 945-10 a.m. Ruddy Ducks - one group of 5 and also a raft of 19 of them, seen in a.m., and again in p.m. on way out.

Sora Rail - heard in just one area, a couple of individuals, tho. Yellow Rail - Gordy and I heard a new call from the tules, and checked the call descriptions in Peterson's - this species is the one that fits it exactly ! We did not get to see any of them because of the dense Scirpus growth. How- ever I would say there were at least 10 or so in the area.

I also saw a new bird and I heard it was a "Gordy" and checked the call I didn't think it was one of these species in the neighborhood. So we had no luck that day, but on to the next.

Most of water area in swamp covered with ice. Considerably more water open than last week, however. Water level 5" Whistling Swan - One of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. First saw four adults which came out from behind a sedge clump in the channel next to the island south of the road. They didn't see us at first, but soon took to the air, circling around behind us giving us a good view. Upon taking flight they uttered some notes similar to the honking a canada geese. We seen discover three others in the [illegible] behind some sedge and spirea in the big pond at the same location. These birds were pumping their heads and necks up and down as other waterfowl do in courting. Upon spotting us, these birds also took [illegible] to the air. I paced out the distance from [illegible] where we first saw the first group of swans to where they were lo- cated. It was only 200 feet. The second group was about the same distance from us. I have reason to belive that these were not the only swans on the swamp, because I later saw what I thought to be a young one from the road. It was in the sedges [illegible] southwest of the bridges. Gray plumage. Canada Goose - At least 2,000 in the area. Mallard - About 50 males and 10 females. Pintail 30, almost all males. Green-winged Teal - 3 Ruddy Duck - 2 Red-tail - One perched in an ash south of the bridge crossing the main channel. Ring-necked Pheasant - 3 in nearby field. Coot - About 200 Killdeer - one by the horse[illegible] shed. Seemed very weak and reluctant to fly. Didn't call. Flicker Ore. Chickadee - heard notes. Seattle Wren - 1 Varied Thrush - 1 in ash Pipit - 2 flew over. Audubon Warbler - one seen Oregon Towhee - 2 Golden-crowned Sparrow - four in the fence row south of the shed. Song Sparrow - Callyed [illegible] 15 altogether. 8 in one group. Visited area south of road. Most of pond north could be seen from the dike. HIGHWAY BETWEEN CORVALLIS AND SWAMP (same day) Bobwhite - Saw one pop in to the brush about halfway. Mourning Dove - Saw one at about the same point. Aleutian Savannah Sparrow - Picked up dead on the highway. Now in my collection. Identified by S.G. Jewett.

Whistling Swan - Saw the 7 again at the same location as last week. The called for us and gave us some good views. Very tame. Some of their calls were almost human-like. In addition to those given last time, the birds gave low whistles. They again pumped their heads up and down, calling while doing so. Belive now that I was mistaken before in seeing an immature.

Fresh sawdust on the ice beside their cuttings. Highway between CORVALLIS AND SWAMP same day. Lots of birds on the shoulders and on the pavement. Why? Heat from reflection from the sun? Pavement and shoulders bare of snow, but so were areas under trees and brush. Sparrow Hawk - one in the usual place Ring-necked Pheasant - one male on highway shoulder Flicker - several, picked up one dead. May be to damaged for a specimen. Yellow-shafted-Red-shafted hybrid. Had been eating poison oak berries. Pipit - Wish I had of startiKX'd counting pipits. Along the road in small flocks all the way, esp. on shoulders. Brewer's Blackbird - flock of 25 and one dead one. W.Meadowlark - Several small flocks. On shoulders again Juncos - about 10 in one flock. Ore. Towhee - several Song Sparrow - Here and there. one dead one, too far gone for a specimen. *Later - Have skinned/stuffed the above flicker. Sossed it in the car, and failed to observe that it until I picked it up again, that this flicker is a hybrid. Has red crescent on back of nitch, Red & Black mustaches.

Temperatures this past week have ranged down to 18°, and even this small section had ice all around its borders. Apparently the numbers and actions of the birds have helped keep it ice free. About 500 Mallards; the commonest duck. Pintail - 50 also came in at dusk. Baldpate - Shortly after dark a large flock came in, but it was too dark and I could tell them by call only. Green-winged Teal - just a sprinkling of teal mixed in with the other ducks, about 20 all told.

McFadden's Swamp; Benton Co., Oregon January 30, 1949. 16:30 to 18:00 Just above freezing, stiff north wind, and clearing rapidly. Fields and swamp thawing, but still covered with ice. Spent the whole evening in a small blind at the south end of the island. Whistling Swan - At dusk three adults circled in and lit at the edge of the water directly in front of our blind. The only sound they made was the loud rattling roar of the wind in their flight pinions as they landed. They spent their time feeding and preening. When it was dark, we stepped quietly out in front of them, but they were not the least bit disturbed; neither was a flock of nearby Canada Geese. Only the mallard became alarmed. Canada Geese - At dusk four lone geese came over and circled the area many times, and then after setting up a wild, clamorous call, settled down. Shortly after this the

Long Tom River, Benton Co., Oregon Feb. 24/49. [illegible]

February 1, 1949 Benton Long Tom River,/Yake Co., 3 mi. north of Monroe. 1330-1630. 45°, calm, scattered cumulus clouds. Fields thawed out, little ice on river. by Tom McAllister. Pied-billed grebe - 3 Blue heron - 1 White-fronted goose - flock of 6 adults flushed from river Mallard - next in abundance to the pintail, 2:3 ratio. Greatest concentration of ducks I have seen in this portion of the valley. From the Long Tom R. bridge at the above-mentioned point, the river was a mass of ducks for the 3 miles up to Monroe. This concentration began just south of the bridge and consisted entirely of dabblers - mallards, pintails, and a few scattered green-winged teal. At this point where the river bends just south of the bridge, I counted 2,000 birds by comparative groups of 50. 10,000 birds would be a conservative estimate for the entire concentration, as I only covered a small portion of the river south of the bridge. The bridge marks a definite point of change in the river. South of the bridge, where the dabblers concentrated, the river suddenly becomes shallow and narrower with many mud banks and bars extending into the river. North of the bridge it was deep and wide with abrupt banks. This point was borne out interestingly enough by the duck distribution, for all the diving ducks, mergansers, and wood ducks were found north of the bridge. The pied-billed grebe, white-fronted goose, and a few of the dabblers were also found on the north side. Balpate - heard several calling. Pintail - most abundant dabbler Green-winged Teal - individuals and small groups scattered through the concentration. Wood duck - 3 M , 1 F Ring-necked duck - 6M and 2F Canvasback - 6M and 6 F. Flock of 20 flew over Lesser Scaup - 4 pair American Merganser - flock of 40 together on river. Very wary; the Canvasback and ring-necked were easily approached and flushed only after all the other ducks around them had gone. Males all in full breeding plumage - 25M and 15F. Red-tailed Hawk - 1 cruising along river Sharow Hawk - 1 Ring-necked pheasant - 2 pair in willow patch Coot - 6 birds on the river Wilson's Snipe - 1 at edge of river bank Gull ? - 3 immature Calif. or Ring-billed Kingfisher - 2, both with small spiny-rayed fish Flicker - 5 Stellers Jay - pair, cracking acors.

Long Tom River, 3 mi. north of Monroe, Oregon ------- T Feb. 24, 1949 - 14:30 to 16:00 - T.H. McAllister 68°, clear, calm day. Bobbie and I spent all our time stalking the diving ducks from behind a screen of brush in hopes of getting some kodachrome pictures. While she diverted their attention, I crawled up on them from downstream, and a few minutes later the current had carried them to me and I was ready with my camera in a good screen of brush. The birds soon noticed me and were far more curious than alarmed by the whole proceeding. A white handkerchief waved in the air on a stick attracted them in very close. The Canvasbacks and Ring-necks were the easiest to attract, but the Scaups remained well out on the river. Pied-billed Grebe - 1 with the diving ducks Ring-necked Duck - the largest number I have seen -- 32 birds in all, but not in a compact flock. Some were mixed in with the Cans. Scaups, lesser - 40 birds. The lighting was perfect, and at this close range every one of the males showed a distinctly glossy purple head. Canvasbacks - 60 birds. Some of the birds frequently gave calls that could be described only as shrill growl or like the barking of a tiny pup. Some of the males giving the head throw. Males outnumbered fem. 2 to 1. White-crowned Sparrow - a bird singing in the brush of the river bank whose song was that of a white-crown, but certainly not our local summer bird. Probably a Gambel's Sparrow. These birds were at the same spot they were noted on Jan. 1 of this month during the freeze up. Apparently they are wintering here, although there are more now than before. No dabbling ducks left on the river.

LEADBETTER PROPERTY, MOUTH OF WILLAMETTE RIVER, MULT. CO., ORE. March 15, 1949 9:30am to 1:00pm Weather - cloudy with intermittent light rain Area Covered - Drove down road from main first gate to KKKK first house KKK about a mile down. Took left hand fork of road and drove to mouth of river. Walked from mouth of river to heron rookery and back. The area has been greatly changed since the flood KK last spring. At the mouth of the river there is an area of several acres or more piled up with sand 10 feet high or more. In one place it completely burried KK a big evergreen blackberry thicket. Over the entire area sloughs have been filled up with sand and silt. These KKK were impossible to cross as we would promptly get burried to our knees in mud. The slough next to the rook- ery was in this state. The road near the rookery was not be- ing used because of being buried in places by sand and mud. 11026 Parallon Cormorant - one on the KKKK Willamette. Blue Heron - Saw these at the rookery. KKMMXX A few new nests have been built on the otherside of the slough. KKKK About 150 herons were present. Only one to a nest, the only ex- ception being in one case were two birds were perched at one nest. Whenever a bird came near a neighbors nest or flew close by he was promptly chalanged by a head throw accompanied by gutteral notes. With only one bird to a nest it would seem that they were males establishing nesting sites. Now and then we saw one carrying nesting material. The new nests on the opposite side of the slough were not occpied while we were present. We stayed and watched the rookery for about 30 minutes around noon. The cottonwoods were not yet leafed out. Only buds present. Mallard - Flushed four near the rookery. Scaup - One at the mouth of Columbia slough. Red-tail - one hanging around the rookery. Barn Owl - One flew out of an old barn down river from the rookery towards the mouch of the Willamette. We were not able to find the bird again, and it was not present when we returned to the barn about an hour later. Could not find any signs of a nest in the barn and only occasional droppings, which I don't think were owl droppings. 11026 Violet-Green Swallow - several Tree Swallow - Heard some KKAB the mouth of the Willamette Western Crow - A few along the river O regon Chickadee - Ran on to about 4 flocks. Bushtit - one flock of about 15. Slemmer-billed Nuthatch - two with bushtits and chickadees. Seattle Wren Robin - one Golden-crowned Kinglet - KKK Flock of about 15 with chickadees. Audubon Warbler - One or two here and there. Oregon Towhee Junco - small flock at mouth of willamette. Fox Sparrow - One singing. Song Sparrows D.B. Marshall

McFadden's Swamp, 1 1/2 miles south of Corvallis, Oregon April 8, 1949 7:00pm to 9:00 pm. Observers : McKlisters and Marshalls Water level: h Only puddles and soggy ground in north field. Weather - Clear, still, temp 50 to 60. 3/4 moon. Quite light out. We thought we would see how the swamp looked at night and see how the birds acted. Started trip out by climbing on the tower at the RR tracks to watch the geese. Then walked along the east side of the main pond to the north field and [illegible] then along the fence line between the north field and pond to the swamp outlet and up in the trees to the far [illegible] west corner, back across the north field to the main pond. Walked down the main pond through the water a ways and then back to the car. [illegible]. We found that the waterbirds acted no dif- frent than if it was daylight. Blue Heron - at least two. Flushed one in the dark from the swamp. Could not see him but heard him squak. Canada goose - About 200 in the fields east of the north field. From the tower we saw several small groups of about 20 leave this flock and circle around out over the Willanette and down the river until out of sight. This was between 7:00 and 7:15 [illegible] at dusk. The remainder of the flock stayed and cackled often on all the time until we left. [illegible]. In the rye grass field there was another flock of about 200. [illegible] These apparently stayed there. With them was one. Snow Goose - see above. Mallard - By the time we left the tower it was too dark to see any ducks, but we heard mallards quack all through our stay. In walked down through [illegible] the main pond, we flushed what seemed to be large flocks but could not see them in the dark. Green-winged Teal - Heard a few call. Ring-necked Pheasant - Heard some docks crow. Killdeer - heard some around 7:30 Wilson's Snipe - Flushed snipes from the SE 1/4th of the north field steadily. I would judge there were over 20 of them. We could not see them, but the squaked and flew up as though it was daylight. We tried using a flashlight to blind some, but it was apparently too bright on account of the moonlight. Greater Yellow-legs - 28 or more in flooded field where the road first turns at the swamp. We watched them until dark, and then came back about 8:30, but could not [illegible] raise them by walking across the field. Western Sandpiper - Flushed about 30 of them about 7:30 at the same place as above. Horned Lark - The fields were alive with their songs between 7 and 7:30. Also a couple in the road. Yellow-throat - One singing. Red-wings - Heard them singing while on the tower. LOWER CAMPUS, OREGON STATE COLLEGE , CORVALLIS April 8, 1949 9:00am to 9:30am. Audubon Warbler - males in summer plumage singing. Evening Grosbeak - flock in firs and maple. House Finch Pine Siskin - small flock Crosbill - Heard flock calling.

On the south side it is boardered with oak-fir woods, on the north side by cultivated fields and on the east and west sides by ash and swampy creek area. The pond is deep so that very little vegitation grows XXXXXXXhit, and then only at the edges. It appears to have been man built, and a high dam now grown over with WILXXXX willow and blackberry holds up the water about 8 feet above the creek flowing from it.

Snow Goose ?, Am puzzled about this one. Don't know for sure if it was a snow goose, large white goose, pink bill, wings gray, frayed and in a very beat up condition. Looked as though they might have been clipped. Bird could fly however. This bird looked a little large for a snow goose, constantly gave a high pitched honk.

Rough-winged Swallow - two. 81 species for the day not including the [snow goose, but including an English Sparrow Betty saw at the bus station before coming out.

April 30, 1949, Lake Washington, Yolo Co, W of Sacramento - 9-945 a.m. 3 pair Farallon Cormorants Great Blue Heron Mallard - pair with a female Ruddy Duck Marsh Hawk doing love-dives Sparrow Hawk Pheasant hen on nest in "broadleaf-mottled-thistle" area, which had been trampled down by a truck, so the nest was fully exposed to the south, whence I viewed it. The first time I came within 3 feet and she didn't flush, but when I came in with a camera to 3' she flushed. I took a pic of 12 eggs, very fresh-looking. Coots Tree Swallows Barn Swallows Western Crows Suisun Long-billed Marsh Wrens Yellow-headed Blackbirds - 1st I have seen. They have moved in since my last visit - about 6 pair seen. In cattail areas, in deeper water, only. Calif. Bicolor Redwings - very common Western Grasshopper Sparrows - saw 2 pairs in dense herbaceous vegetation at edge of alfalfa fields along west side of lake. (Ammodramus savannarum). Calif. Interior Jay - pair have nested in vine on south side of Judd's house at 2228-3rd Avenue. Nest against the house, but built in the vine. Very well-sheltered by the leaves of the vine. This part of house shaded by large white oak over the house. Each time I looked, a parent was on the nest, even in the afternoon. The other adult came to the nest, and fed the brooding adult. No noises were made. Then the brooding bird saw me and left in a hurry, tumbling very naked, still-blind, young about in the nest. One ended up up-side-down on the rim of the nest. Atthis moment, the adult that had been feeding the brooding adult just"froze"at the edge of the nest, and made no movements for quite some time. There seem to be 4 young in the nest, although I can not be certainfrom the view I had.

May 1, 1949, Natomas, Sacramento Co. 8-9 a.m. Blue Heron American Egret Rufous Hummingbird California Woodpecker - nest in [illegible]-dead, topped Eucalyptus at 35' on east side. Open area to the east. This species sensitive to horn. Willow Downy Woodpecker - nest hole at 15 feet on west side of dead alder - just straggling pieces of bark on grayish wood. Hole under slight projection, so that when adult inside pokes head out of hole, it isn't noticeable. Black Phoebe Barn Swallow California Plain Titmouse Sparrow Hawks sensitive to horn. San Joaquin Bewick Wren Hutton Vireo Western Bluebirds Yellow Warbler Long-tailed Chats - very common - several calling, and I "bantered"with one for a few minutes.

Brown Towhees

May 5, 1949 Gray Looge State Refuge, SW Butte Co., California, 930-1030 a.m. Clear and warm. In contrast to past years, almost all the water areas are being drained this year so that cattails and bulrush may be plowed under, and dikes and control gates may be repaired. There are few waterfowl in the area. Drying mud flats are in evidence. Pied-billed Grebe Farallon Cormorants White Pelicans - at least 50 seen, up to 30 in the air at one time. All were in full adult plumage, and about 25 possed the breeding "horn" on the upper bill. John Cowan, Mgr., was surprised when I suggested they might be nesting at the refuge. They were present all last summer, but he thought they were immatures. He will keep his eye open this year. Blue Herons American Egrets Snowy Egrets - very few American Bittern Black-crowned Night Herons Cackling Geese - 25 flew over. They usually leave by now, with stragglers present until about May 15 according to Cowan and Cloyd. Mallards - The nest at the edge of the gravel road seen last time had hatched out. John Cowan told me only 3 successfully left the nest. There had been 8 eggs. Pintail Cinnamon Teal - Vultures common Marsh Hawks Sparrow Hawks Pheasants - 100's and 100's Coots - few Killdeer - 3 nests in gravel roads about the refuge. 3, 4, and 4 eggs. Avocet - one small patch of "salt grass" where alkali concentrates were on top of the soil on this flat area contained 2 avocet and 1 stilt nest. The adults were on the nests in plain view of us, just 30-50 feet from the car. The nests were always in the open, without protection of any vegetation more than 2" & high. Found 3 avocet nests - all contained 4 eggs. The eggs were strangly tapered at one end, a gray-green color, with darker blotching. They were larger than the stilt eggs, and a lighter base color, as well. I took one pic. Black-necked Stilt - Only saw one nest, containing 4 eggs.

Bicolor Redwings Chipping Sparrow Modesto Song Sparrow plus At gate into dam - an interesting association inone live oak at edge of highway on Folsom-Auburn Road. Just 10 feet from me in car were several pairs of English Sparrows, Purple Finches, a Lark Sparrow and Bullock Oriole. About 9' above the ground hanging from an outer limb of a live oak was a bullock oriole nest made of very fine material. The cup outside size was 3½" deep and 2½" wide. There were 3 young in the nest and 1 dead one found on the ground below the nest. Up to 2½" long. Primaries ⅔" long, still sheathed. The young were very noisy when a parent came to the nest to feed them, but they kept very quiet after the parent gave a low churring note upon departure. While I watched the male made 4 trips to the nest with food, but the female seemed very hssitant to approach the nest when I was so near. Her hesitancy affected the male as well, and both spent much time just perched with food in their mouths, chirping. I observed hem to bring insects and ripe cherries to the nest. Visits were spaced about 1½ min., 2 min., 1¼ min., 2 min., 7 min., and 3 min., and 5 min. Following the females 1 delayed visit, she hung near the nest, chirping, and preening for at least 8 minutes. The male was not seen during this time. The feeding calls of the young attracted the California Purple Finches each time, for they had a nest at 11' on the same main limb, just 7' from the Oriole nest. This nest had 4 young in it. A lark sparrow adult, carrying a grasshopper, lit in the live oak, and acted as if it had a nest nearby, but I could not locate it. In moving through the tree it got within a foot of the oriole female, and the nest, but no action took place, then it moved over and was practically on top of the purple finch nest and the pair of adults made passes at it, but lost out, however, the cries brought other nearby finches into the tree. The commotion also attracted some adult male English Sparrows, and these were driven away by the Lark Sparrow while he still held the grasshopper

First I have ever seen Vultures Swainson Hawks W. Redtail Hawk - found a female circling close to us over a high rock outcrop just upstream from the mouth of 10-mile Creek. Two nest sites on SW slope of pinnacle outcrop, within 6 feet of each other. Took pics. Lower nest piled 3' high and used this year. I found 2 young birds perched on a small sagebush about 50 yards uphill from the nest sites. They were on a west slope, exposed to strong NW winds this p.m. They were both openmouthed and"dripping" from their mouths down the tip of the lower bill. As Dan Slater moved in to take picture, one young flew, ending up in tall sage growth at the edge of the river 400 feet below and over ¼-mile away from the perch it left. The other young didn't care to fly, and pictures were taken as close as 1' away. I captured and banded this young (#34-632488). size 7b. One freshly killed young jack rabbit, still warm, was found about 20 feet from the young. Nearly perched on rock outcrops had many pellets scattered about, indicating that cottontail and jack rabbits make up a good share of the adult's food in this area.

Then I clapped my hands to flush some more, but only stilts and avocets rose, and then a minute or two later, 2 more flushed from the same area as the 1st four tree-ducks had flushed. One flew a complete circle around us at a distance of about 100 yards, but the other 5 made only short flights. They appeared just slightly larger than a mallard.

August 3, 1949, San Joaquin River at Kerckhoff Reservoir (above Millerton Lake) Madera County - Just before dawn started to brighten some, 2 California Pigmy Owls chattered loudly in tops of nearby live oak trees (reminded me of the jungle owlets in Assam, India). Pallid 1285 Soon after this a couple of Wren-tits sang weakly for a few moments. Then 3 different California Woodpeckers called out from almost 3 different directions; the latter 2 seemingly in answer to the first caller. And the for 15 minutes an Ash-throated Flycatcher gave an almost continuous series of 4-syllable, rather unmusical notes. The bird was perched.in a bush- top, but no colors were discernable as it was still too dark. I have never heard these notes from this flycatcher.

Marbled Godwits Willets Black-bellied Plover Western Sandpipers Least Sandpipers This noon I spotted 3 very small terns with several other short-tailed ones that proved to be Forester's Terns in various stages of plumage. The 3 smaller ones had dusky bills, more yellow at the base, and the legs were distinctly yellowish instead of orange-red as in the Forester's. Their call was higher pitched than the Foresters. Also they had dark patches on the wings not present on the Foresters. There is little doubt in my mind that these were least terns. All these terns were working together againsta north wind along theeast side of this arm of Carquinez Straits, hovering about 10 feet over the water, and plunging below the surface whenever they spotted a fish, or other item of food. They would work upwind 50 yards, and then drop swiftly back to the "foot" of the feeding area, and start the course over again. They were observed to eat their catch on the wing, and then proceeding with the fishing. This section of the bay has a narrow strip of sandy beach, with some emergents such as 3-square and cattails on the land-side of the sand areas. Rocks protruded from the bay in shallow water.
