Even a small city lot can produce much of interest to the observant person. Proof of this rests in a rather interesting collection of bird records that were accumulated on a very small lot in one of the newer residential developments in Sacramento, California. Before proceeding with the discussion of the bird life, it seems logical to present a description of Sacramento, and the relationship of the lot to physical and vegetation features in this section of central California. Sacramento, with a 1950 population of 135,761, lies on the floor of the Sacramento Valley approximately 20 miles west of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is at the mouth of the American River on the Sacra- miento River, and lies between elevations of 15 and 50 feet above mean sea level (including suburban areas, which possess a population larger than the city, itself). A spur of the Sierra Nevada foothills juts southwesterly to provide irregular terrain to the northeast of the city of Sacramento, and north of the American River. Otherwise, the lands surrounding Sacramento are comparatively flat. The nearest coniferous forests (yellow pine) are located over 35 miles to the east of Sacramento at elevations above 2,000 feet. Below this elevation, chaparral, oak-digger pine woodland and herbaceous vegetation occur on the foothill slopes, distribution depending upon exposure, et Cetera, down to an elevation of a few hundred feet. Below this elevation, only herbaceous cover occurs on the foothills and valley floor. Much of the lower foothill lands and valley floor has been developed for a varied agriculture. Although the foothill spur northeast of Sacramento once provided a major woodland and grassland habitat, suburban development has severely disturbed most of the area, and only small areas of oak wood- land now exist. Along the American River and portions of the Sacramento

River, there is a narrow border strip of riparian brush and a few large trees such as willows, Fremont's cottonwood, and sycamore. Natural marshes are almost non-existent in the vicinity of Sacramento. The following tabulation shows the relationship of the lot to natural features and other habitats: Feature Distance Away Direction (in miles) Water Natural - American River 1.71 NE Sacramento River 3.86 W Artificial - State Fair Grounds 0.6 NW City Park Lakes 3-4.5 W & NW Lake Washington 5.5 WNW Yolo By-pass 8.0 W Trees Oak Woodland 7.0 NE City plantings (50 feet or more high) 0.6 SW " " 0.7 NW Herbs Grass and weeds - State Fair Grounds 0.3 N Lawn - Tahoe Park 0.2 E Grasslands 1.1 E Grasslands 1.2 S Rice 10.0 W Trees planted in our neighborhood include both the Modesto and Arizona Ashes, silver maple, sycamore, and acacia. Since this neighborhood has been developed during the past three to fifteen years, none of the trees are more than 30 feet high. Further, none of them seem especially attractive to birds for other than perching. A large variety of shrubs occurs around the homes in the neighborhood. The lot on which the following bird records were accumulated is at an elevation of 33 feet above mean sea level, and is rectangular, with dimensions of 60 by 80 feet. The two-bedroom home divides the lot into two segments, the front yard, and the back yard. Garages and a house occupy the sides of the lot. The front yard contains an Arizona ash, with English laurel, arbor vitae, camellias and privet hedge planted along th

front of the house. The backyard is bordered on three sides by tall, fairly dense shrubbery consisting of privet, cotoneaster, oleander, photinia, lilac, viburnum, myrtle, roses, pyracantha, and lauristinus. Flower beds form a border in front of the shrubbery and the house forms ❖ the fourth boundary of the backyard. A sycamore tree provides a canopy over approximately one-fourth of the backyard area.

January 3 & 4, 1950, Black Butte Reservoir area, N & S Fks of Stony Creek, Glenn and Tehama Counties, Calif. Blue Heron - 1 seen. Mallards - 2F or imm on S. Fk. Vultures - observed singles, and up to 5 in small groups circling over the nearby countryside, and then about 450 I discovered about 160 of them gathered or gathering in the upper half of several very tall Fremont Cottonwoods; they could be seen coming from all direct. ions in almost straight lines to this area of river bottom habitat along the S. Fk. of Stony Creek. The sun had left the valley by this time. They approached singly, not in groups. Watched two squa abble and one chase the other for a couple of minutes through the cottonwoods. At 5 p.m. I returned for a final count as it was nearly dusk, and saw no more coming in - the total was about 220, only 60 having come in during the half hour period of dusk. Checke the vultures at the roost at 9 a.m., and found almost all were still perched in cottonwoods, with one or two moving to other trees, and those perching weren't all in the trees they'd been in last night, but the reason for their disturbance was that a rancher was cultivating the field next to the original roosting trees. That the tractor noise disturbed the birds was shown by them moving whenever the tractor came close to the perches, whereas those birds perched in trees farther from the field were not disturbed, and remained on their perch. Some of the disturbed birds were perched in a small group on a grassy knoll about 1/8 mile west of the roost trees at 930 a.m. This knoll was in the oak woodland. At noon, another check was made of the roost area, and only a few birds were seen perching in the cottonwoods, and a few others were circling over this and nearby areas. Evidently the bulk of the 220 had left the area for the day, about 11 a.m. We saw vultures east and south of Orland. How far this roost draws the birds from, I would hesitate to state. Red-tailed Hawks - sev. in area. Sparrow Hawk - 1/road mile. Valley Quail - 2 coverys of 12 and 18 on S. Fk, and 1 covey of 12 at damsite, and 2 coveys of 14 and 24 birds on S. Fk. at Julian Rocks.

INDEPENDENCE AREA, MARION CO., OREGON January 19, 1950 11:30am to 3:30pm With Francis Ives, game commission district agent Trip to backwater slough of Willamette River about 2 miles south of Independence and the Willamette River at that point. Then visited Willamette River about 8 miles up river from In- dependence. Weather - Snow thawing and ice breaking up. Cloudy. XXXX Snow just at start of thaw so about 1 ft. on ground. Canada Goose - Flock of 30 at first mentioned point. Ducks in general - About 1800 concentrated at point about 2 miles south of Independence. These ducks were feeding in a corn field which was between the river and the slough. When not feeding the ducks would gather in the slough and on the river. Some corn ears were XXX overlooked in harvesting and it was these that the ducks were utilizing. Local residents reported ducks in corn fields in other locations around Independence. A second concentration of ducks was noted upstream from Independence about 8 miles where the road follows the river for a short dis- tance. This concentration consisted of about 750 ducks. How many ducks were between these two points on the river is not known. Mallard - This species made up the greater part of the concentrations. 1,000 were estimated to be present at the first point and 600 at the latter point. Baldpate - 300 at the first point and 50 at the later point. Fintail - 500 at the first point and 100 at the 2nd point. Green-winged Teal - seven at the first point.

Ice around edges of swamp breaking up and melting fast. Water Conditions - Water so high that we did not try to drive all the way to the Muddy Creek bridge. Yark stick read about 24 inches. Water too deep to wade to island on south side. Meadow at north end flooded at about 2 feet. Area Covered - First went across Muddy Creek and found most of ducks and geese along boundary of McFadden's property and Reader Place. Thus most of the waterfowl were not on the swamp proper at all, but on the otherside of the creek in flooded fields. Then went to swamp north of road. Went up to meadow, but no ducks there. Covered south side only from what could be seen from road. Divers were the only ducks north of the road in the main pond of swamp. Canada Goose - Only about 50 in fields east of the Swamp, but 750 in fields on west side of Muddy Creek. Mallard - About 100 in area, mostly on the west side of the creek.

Failing Estate About 10 miles south of Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon January 28, 1950 2:00pm to 4:30pm Weather - Ground covered with about 10 inches of snow. Temp. 30 degrees. Overcast. Muddy Creek in flood. Road into estate covered by water up to 2 feet deep. Area Covered: Because of the high water had to start walking before we got as far in as Muddy Creek. We crossed the creek on the bridges afoot and then walked down through the sedge marsh and back With Charlie Traub Canada Goose - At least 1500 on the estate. They were at the lower part of the sedge marsh flocked in the water and on a pasture along the east side of the marsh. Certain areas around the marsh contained their tracks in abundance. At these places was a considerable amount of plant matter floating on the water that had been rooted up and grazed upon. Most of this was new green shoots of Polygonum, leaves of a small composite similar to a dandelion, and grass leaves. Cackling Goose - A few, probably around 25 were seen. Many more were probably overlooked. Ducks, Unidentified - 300 at Ká a flooded portion at the upper end of the marsh. They flew up at too great a distance for us to be able to identify them, but we know mallards, baldpates, green-winged teal were among them from the call notes. Mallard - 100. Many more males than females. The females that were present were almost always paired with a male. Pintail - 25 Baldpate - 12 Wood Duck - Heard one but did not see on Muddy Creek. Red-tail Hawk - 1 Sparrow Hawk - 1 Ring-necked Pheasant - Saw around 15 in one small field. Others were around the marsh. They were feeding in small waterways and drainage ditches that were free of snow. At one location where their tracks were present in the snow the rose hips had been fed upon. Killdeer - heard one several times. Red-shafted Flicker - saw 2 Gairdner Woodpecker - heard one or two along Muddy Cr. in the ash. Crows Short-eared Owl - Watched one individual which following down road with us by flying from fence post to fence post. Ore. Chickadees Seattle Wren - singing Robin - small flock, maybe 15. Varied Thrush - Seemed thick in ash along Muddy Creek. Saw perhaps 15, but heard others. Western Bluebird - Flick of about 15 on ground in wet marsh area. Golden-crowned Kinglet - heard one along Muddy cr. Pipit - small flock where snow was melted along marsh. Brewer's Blackbird - flock of about 8 along marsh.

BASKETT SLOUGH, one mile north of RICKREALL on highway 99W POLK CO., OREGON February 9, 1950 11:00 to 1:30. Weather: High clouds. Area Covered: Flooded fields on west side of highway and 1,000 acre farm covering both hillside and lowland belonging to Mr. William Cadle. Description of area: The flooded fields on the west side of the area belong to a man named Palmer, who raises English rye grass, alsike clover and hairy vetch for seed. The rye grass was about 3 inches high. The legumes were [illegible] put with it as a companion crop of sparse quantity. The ducks were in flooded fields with this crop. Adjoining ground, uncultivated and along the creek, is subject to flooding. The farm belonging to Mr. William Cadle is on the east side of the highway. Mr. Cadle's fields are large, each being around 300 acres. Part of this land lies on a ridge. Mr. Cadle alternates Austrian winter peas with barley. The ridge is about 200 feet higher than the lower areas. Mr. Cadle also has a duck pond, which we did not investigate. He feeds the birds artificially here. Many more geese feed on Mr. Cadle's land than was pre- sent this particular day. He reports, [illegible] that the geese left his land during the snows the first of January and that they are just beginning to come back. Mr. Cadle says a small flock of goose appeared on his farm 18 years ago. [illegible] More geese came back each year untail in recent years several thousand have been wintering on his land. Mr. Cadle, who is a graduate of OSC in forestry in 1935, appears to be a good observer. He says the goose like peas and volunteer barley, but don't take vetch. He says 39 geese were taken on his land this last season. Hunt- ing is carried out two days per week. This is raised to three towards the last of the season. Canada Goose - 1050 on the area. All but 300 of these were on the Cadle property. It seemed odd to watch geese graze on a hill- side, where they looked like they could beK sheep at a distance. Mr. Cadle feels the geese do him little or no damage except around his duck pond, where he plants corn for the ducks. He keeps the geese out of his corn patch by scare crows which are moved each day. The scare crows work find he says as long as they are moved. A flatted out tin can [illegible] dangling from the arm of each helps he says. Snow Goose - Flock of about 50 on the Palmer place. Only 8 of these were juviniles for certain. Mallard - 125 Baldpate - 29 Pintail - 125. All ducks on the Palmer Place. Green-winged Teal - 70 Canvasback - Pair in a flooded field on the Palmer Place. Red-tail - 1 Valley Quail - covey on the Palmer Place. Crows - flock of about 200 in one field. Horned Lark - 2 on the Pălmer Place W. Meadowlark

HORSESHOE LAKE, several miles west of ST. PAUL, MARION CO., OREGON February 9, 1950 4:15pm Weather: High clouds. Most of lake frozen over. Many more ducks were in this area than we saw I feel. They were scattered and consequently we saw only a few. The area around Horseho Lake contains fields of corn, which appears to be the principle food of the ducks in this area. Mallard - 300 in flooded bottom KK land on east side of lake. Baldpate - 300 at same location. Green-winged Teal - heard some in distance as well as more mallards, and baldpate. Mourning Dove - Most have seen 100. They were all along the highway between Salem and St. Paul. One flock of about 25 was perched along the crest of a barn roof like rock doves. COLUMBIA RIVER BOTTOMS, IN AREA AROUND PORTLAND COLUMBIA AIRPORT February 11, 1950 With McAllisters Weather: Most of ground still covered by snow here. Cloudy. We drove around in car over part of this area. Made no attempt to count the ducks, as they were flying about and we did not completely cover the area. The ducks were in small flocks in fields and flooded portions of fields. This area is one of truck farming and dairying. Rye, oats, common vetch, corn and cabbage are principle crops. A local dairy man and sportsman says the ducks feed heavily in cabbage, corn early in the fall. He complains of damage to by grazing to green shoots of rye. My own observations in the area showed heavy grazing by waterfowl to grass crops. Mallard - saw several hundred Pintail - saw several hundred Baldpate - Barn Owl - One dead at Columbia River Dairy Farm. We were told it has frozen and had been found dead in the barn. Seemed to be about two weeks old. Scaup - About 40 in a slough Canvasback - pair with the above. SAUVIES SAUVIES ISLAND, OSGC PUBLIC SHOOTING GROUND February 12, 1950 With McAllisters went out to see area. Spent only 1/2 hr. on it so didn't get much of any idea on how many ducks were present, although we saw many mallards, baldpate, pintails. Also 4 Canvasback and about 4 male and 1 female Amer. Merganser on the Columbia R. About 7 short-eared owls were in one field. Snow covers ground still. To supplement an abundance of natural food the game commission has planted

February 11, 1950 4:00 to 4:30pm With McAllisters Covered both ponds. Not near as many ducks present as during periods or winters of normal weather.

Aqustic plants present included a Cyperaceae around the edges. No seed heads could be found. It appeared as though no seed pro- duction took place this year. Lots of Polygonum was pre- sent. Some Eleocharis, An abundance of Bidens, considerable amount of Ricciocarpus. Also a grass (submerged) which I have yet to identify.

FAILING ESTATE February 18, 1950 5:00pm Canada Goose - Flock in field. Didn't get to count them. Went in to talk to Earl Campbell, one of the brothers who operate the Failing Estate. Campbell accurately described the snow goose to me. He said he saw a flock of about 50 on Feb. 17. These were the first he had ever seen so he says. He says there are not near the number of geese on his place this year as have been present previous years. Campbell says he raises vetch, alta fescue, oats and rye grass mostly on his place. He says the geese take all these crops, but believes they prefer the vetch. He does not believe they do him any damage.

Airline MARSHES 2 1/2 miles SOUTHEAST OF COLORADO LAKE, LINN CO., OREGON February 19, 1950 and February 20, 1950 Area Covered - This area is mostly in section 4 of T.12S, R.4W. Covered east end of this marsh area. Did not cover the [illegible] west branch of it. At the end of this marsh area on the east side is a large lake which almost completely dries up during the summer. This lake is probably a little over 1/2 mile [illegible] long and 1/3 mile wide. The marsh running into this lake is about 100 ft. wide and 3/4 mile long. The large lake or marsh at the end is something I wish I had know about long ago, as it certainly is a duck area. The narrow strip of marsh running into it held fewer ducks, but is also interesting. Description: In addition to above description, the feeder marsh or strip running into the [illegible] main marsh is dominated by reed canary grass. Some Eleocharis is also present. Strips of it are solid canary grass while other parts are open. Along the edge of this strip is cultivated ground planted to what I believe to be rye grass (will find out for sure). Over 2,000 (strip) feet of this rye grass on both sides of the marsh was heavily grazed by ducks and geese back about 25 ft. from the water. The main marsh is dominated by Carex lanuginosa or a like species. Eleocharis [illegible] almost approaches this Carex in abundance. Some Polygonum is also present and a little Ranunculus aquatilis. A few islands of Carex obnupta are present At the south end is about 2 acres of Scirpus acutus or validus. The edges of this marsh are heavily grazed and consist of grasses and weeds of various species. Water depth up to 2 ft. today. Covered the marsh running into the main marsh or lake on February 19 from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Only ducks present along this strip were Mallards - About 300 of them. Most came from thick growths of canary grass. Baldpate - 25 Vallye Quail - coved of about 20. Covered main part of marsh on February 20 from 2:00pm to 4:30. Saw. Canada Goose - 200 Mallard - 350 Baldpate - 150 Pintail - 500. Green-winged Teal - 50 Shoveller - 10 Ring-necked Duck - 20 to 40 Canvas-back - 6 males and 2 females Scaup - Probably some, but couldn't tell for sure that they weren't ring-necks. Red-tail - 1 Ring-necked Pheasant - 2 around farmyard. Coot - 8 Greater Yellow-legs - Saw one February 19 near this pond. Red-shafted Flicker Calif. Jay Ore.

MCFADDEN'S SWAMP, 2 miles north of MONROE, BENTON CO., OREGON February 24, 1950 11:40am to 11:50am Stopped by but didn't get out of car. Road flooded so didn't even drive past the cabin. Canada Goose - Flock of 200 flying over Muddy Cr. Mallard - Saw about 50. Coots Killdeer - Several along road into swamp. Red-backed Sandpiper - Flock of about 70. Still in winter plumage. Eight stayed seperate from main flock and walked ahead of car in road. Might have been getting grit. The main flock was in a flooded field with rye grass coming up. Was at first con- fused as to the identity of these birds as this is the first time I have ever seen them in winter plumage. Had killdeers with them to compare for size. Robins Red-wings. FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR LANE CO., ORE. Drove clear around and saw only one duck and that I couldn't tell what is was.

DOERFLER'S POND, LINN CO., OREGON MAIN MARSH 2 1/2 miles southeast of COLORADO LAKE Will hereafter call this marsh area described on February 19 and 20 as Doerfler's pond. Covered only main pond. With class in Game Birds, which I went with to show them the way to this place. Thus with Jay Long and others. February 27, 1950 2:30pm to 4:15pm Weather: Temp 50 but a beautiful day. Clear as could be. Pond a beautiful day. Water Conditions: XXXX much of valley in flood, but level in this pond stays rather constant this time of year. River and sloughs very high. Had to go through water just beyond the bridge at Corallis. Perhaps this high water is partly responsible for all the divers which would have been washed out of their normal habitat. What a day. Can't understand all the divers. Although we saw XXXX lots of ducks, Mr. Doerfler says XXXXX today there was the low- est number of ducks for some time. He was undoubtedly speaking of pins, mallards and baldpates. Canada Goose - 250 Mallard - 200 in the far pond. Baldpate - 100. These came in just before we left. It appeared as though more ducks were coming in as we left. Pintail - 76 in the far pond. Green-winged Teal - 25 in the far pond. Shoveller - At least 2, a male and female. Redhead - First redheads I have ever seen the valley. Jay says he had never seen them in the valley before either. Jay spotted this first one. Later we spotted others and looked at them through Jay's 19.5 power spotting scope. They were in with ring-necks and cans. Still later three of us, in walking around the pond had a flock of redheads and can alight right in front of us at about 100 ft. in the bright sunlight. Saw up to 24 redheads at one time. Perhaps this was the total for the pond. Ring-necked Duck - About 100 of them!! None of them appeared to be scaups although Charlie Traub thought he saw 2 scaups. They also performed beautifully by taking off and landing again often on and whistling in for landings over our heads. Canvasback - About 30 of them. Ruddy Duck - 2 Red-tail Hawk - 2 Goot - 25 Killdeer Red-shafted Flicker Robins W. Meadowlark BrewersBlackbird Song Sparrow

Nest located 15" from bottom of wall, where seepage from Echo Lake was leaking out. The wall faced southeast. A thicket of alder, not-yet leafed out, grows near the wall, and it was through this bare thicket that the male brought nest material each time. In 5 minutes he made 4 trips to the nest. The nest was made of grass materials, almost exclusively. Outside shape irregular, but roughly 3" x 4" outside. The inside cup was about 2" in diameter and 2½" deep. It was of the same material as the rest of the nest. Perhaps the depth could be accounted for by the addition of finer material for the cup lining, as nest building neared completion. Alders will's hatched the nest early in the a.m., when they are leafed out. No female seen.

Western Grebe - Some in water around the water. White Pelican - At all stages of reproduction. Six pods found, and a 7th having been so far along that no birds were present. On pod was seen on top of the island after we left the island and were out in the boat. Giles estimated 2500 young were present. This does not include the pod at the top of the island. Fish coughed up by the young birds were carp, Lahontan chubs and cui-ci. Possibly 75% were carp. Trelease counted 232 carp averages two inches long from one young pelican. One brown bullhead was found also. Double-crested Cormorant - Several pods at all stages. 1,000 young estimated present. Cormorants were nesting near edge of water on hunks of tuffa.

Canada Goose - About 165 counted in small groups around edge of the island. Many appeared to be young of the year and could not fly. Mallard - About 5 adults off edge of island. American Merganser - 3 males and 2 females seen off island. Turkey Vulture - Several circling around cliffs. California Gull - Estimated 1500 adults at colony. Young birds walking around. Few eggs, as mostly hatched. Made no attempt to count the young. Nests were depressions in ground lined with algae or other vegetable material. Caspian Tern - Small colony containing 25 nests in gull colony. Counted 40 adults. Most nests had eggs and a few had young just out of the egg. Nests were depressions in the ground. Had no vegetable material in them. June 30, 1950, Hogan Res., Calaveras River, Calaveras Co. 2680-1100 map.

INSPECTION TRIP OF ANAHO ISLAND WILDLIFE REFUGE, PYRAMID L., NEVADA July 3, 1950 10:00 am to 3:30pm Observers: LeRoy Giles, Fred Wright, David B. Marshall and Thomas H. McAllister of Oregon State Game Commission. Schedule: Visited all colonies to band young and make more complete estimates on the number of birds present. Estimates here given therefore supersede t hose made on May 15 and June 26, 1950. Data given below also includes summary of observations made on May 15 and June 26. Dates MARKED for observations below are for July 3 unless otherwise specified. Birds Eared Grebe - 2 seen in water off island. Western Grebe - Saw only one, but several seen on June 26 and May 15. White Pelican - Giles estimated 5,000 adults on May 15, which is the best observation to date on adults. Adults can be estimated to best advantage earlier in the season when more are present. Of the 5,000, 1,000 were at the mouth of the Truckee River. Since pelicans range OVER a vast area from this colony, many adults belonging to the colony went uncounted because of tours over the region. As an example on May 16, the day after Giles made his count 400 pelicans were counted on the Stillwater Wildlife Management Area. 1,160 young pelicans in 14 pods or colonies were counted on July 3. Also 16 e ggs, some of which may not have been fertile. Nesting was more progressed at lower levels on the island. As one went up the island to the top nesting areas was at successively LATER earlier stages. Two pods were at the top of the island having 59 nests containing a total of 80 young and 9 eggs. Pipping of eggs and newly hatched young were observed at this location. These two colonies were overlooked on previous visits. About 8 young, all that were in the lowest colony had apparently left the island. This colony was observed on May 15. Pods or colonies found on July 3 are as follows: 1. 60 young 2. 200 young 3. 300 young 4. 60 young 5. 850 young 6. 750 young 7. 200 young and 3 eggs 8. 300 young and 4 eggs 9. 10 young 10. 50 young and MORE 8 eggs 11. 30 young and 1 egg 12. 350 yo ng 13. 200 young 14. 800 young 1,160 young and 16 eggs. On June 26 roughly 75% of the fish regurgitated by the young pelicans were carp , the remainder being chubs (Siphateles obesus) and cui-ui (Chamistes cuius). On July 3 no dead carp or cui-ui were observed to be regurgitated, MX

(end) . 100 young and 62 others The remaining pair of turtles was released in the lower Colorado River on March 8, 1956. This release was part of a program to re-establish wild populations of giant tortoises in areas where they had been extirpated by over-collection for food or other purposes. Prior to this date, no giant tortoise had been released into the wild since 1937 when two individuals were captured from Mexico and sent to San Diego Zoo. These animals died shortly after arrival due to stress caused by transportation conditions. Since then, efforts have focused on breeding programs aimed at increasing numbers of captive-born specimens before reintroducing them back into their natural habitat. In addition, conservationists continue working closely with local communities living near potential release sites so that traditional cultural practices involving these creatures can coexist harmoniously alongside modern wildlife management strategies. Furthermore, educational outreach initiatives aim to raise awareness among younger generations about importance of protecting endangered species like giant tortoises through various media channels including books, films, documentaries etcetera. Finally, ongoing research projects seek better understanding regarding physiological adaptations required for successful survival under diverse environmental circumstances faced throughout history within native ranges across Americas continent.

ANAOH ISLAND TRIP, July 3, 1950 continued. the only fish being chubs. Apparently feeding habits vary considerably during the season and may vary [illegible] through the day. It is felt our presence caused the death of [illegible] smaller young through excessive exposure to the sun, as the adults were quick to take flight and abandon their young as we approached a colony. Several naked young had been injured in the back, as blood was running from this location. Possibly this injury was caused by California gulls. Pierced eggs found on May 15 also indicated gull predation. It was difficult to get an accurate estimated on the number of pods, as pods would break up into several [illegible] when approached. Therefore some pods counted as two many only be young. Some colonies were so close together that they could be considered one. 50 young pelicans were banded. Double-crested Cormorant - 1200 adults were counted at nesting colonies and elsewhere on the island. Five nesting colonies were found containing 1650 young and 17 eggs. Nesting was at all stages. Some young left the colonies and took to the water. Colonies were situated on tuffa along the water's edge shore distances apart. Nest material was alkali weed. The number of eggs or young to each colony were as follows: As estimated: Colony 1. 400 young and 9 eggs 2. 225 young and 8 eggs 3. 250 young 4. 600 young 5. 175 young 1650 young and 17 eggs. 25 young cormorants were banded. Blue Heron - On May 15 Giles and Nygren found 10 blue heron nests containing young. This trip 27 adults and/or young were observed away from the colony.[illegible] A nest with 4 young and another with 3 eggs was also found. Canada Goose - Fed counted a total of 327. All in the water around the island. The young were too far along to tell from adults. Mallard - Brood with 6 Class III young was seen. Also 12 mallards in two flocks of 6 each were seen. Sgadwall - 4 were seen with a flock of 6 pintail flying over the water along the edge of the island. Pintail - one lone female on island's edge seen. A pair in the water and the flock of 6 mentioned above. American Merganser - We chassed about 25 of them with the boat. They did not fly but flopped along in the water ahead of us.

ANAHU ISLAND TRIP, July 3, 1950 continued. Turkey Vulture - Probably about 8 flying about over the top of the island. Marsh Hawk - Observed a pair. Prairie Falcon - pair on cliffs and flying about over to [illegible] of island. Might have been nesting in hole seen present in rocks. Marbled Godwit - Flushed 6 from edge of island. California Gull - 2,000 adults were estimated present at the colony and in the air above it. The gull colony was at the south end of the island. An inspection of photographs of the colony [illegible] brings [illegible] forth an estimate of 300 young alive and 200 dead young. Reproduction thus appears very low with a high mortality. Young were out running around. It is felt considerable mortality took place through our presence, since we prevented adults from shading young from the sun. On our visit to the gull colony on June 26 we did not [illegible] notice such high mor- tality among the young birds and wondered if many did not die after we left. so young were banded. Caspian Tern - This bird has not been noted nesting on the island by previous ob- servers. Apparently it is a new comer. There is nothing to add to the observations made on June 26, when the 25 tern nests were counted in the gull colony, except more of the young had hatched. Mourning Dove - The observation by Giles and Hygren on this bird on May 15 consti- tutes the only record. A pair were seen by them. Rock Wren - Rock wrens could be heard singing from the higher part of the island.

Eared or Horned Grebe - one in full breeding plumage observed for over a half hour with 7X binocs at distances from 50 to 125 yards. Light was fine, and observations were made with rests, from granite rocks above the water. Lighter colored plumes on side of head had position of that shown in pics for the eared grebe, but no black crest was observed. Further, there appeared to be a rusty color on the neck. Also, the sides were a rich, and quite bright chestnut or ferruginous filling in a considerable portion of the sideview of the bird riding on the water. The bird would swim away from passing rowboards, motor boats and canoes, but was not observed to dive to escape these boats. Killdeer - seen the morning of the 5th. just 1. Spotted Sandpiper - about 4 pairs of adults seen, and on one stretch of lake shore we found a brood of 4 downy young running around. One was caught Sat.(the 4th) p.m. and banded, but the others escaped. We returned to the same stretchof lakeshore, and cornering the family on a rocky peninsula, Ard and I caught all 4 of the young, releasing the one banded the day before. Size IA bands used were: 4I-152117, 122, 123, and 125. Young were downy gray color, with darker stripe down middle of back. One young escaped us by taking to the water, and as I reached for it, it definitely "duck-dived" and swam a few inches under water, using its wings for propulsion. It repeated this feat three times in a row, but only for short distances. Then it rode in the water like a phalarope, and swam a full 40 feet across a small bay off the lake. Pacific Nighthawk - 1 was seen coursing over the lake the p.m. of the 4th. By 9 a.m., the 5th, between 18 and 24 of them were feeding over this same arm of the lake where one had been the day before.

"5115" In the late 1970s, White Plains and Riverdale were two distinct communities within Westchester County, New York. Both towns had unique histories, demographics, and economic profiles that shaped their identities in different ways. Riverdale was known for its proximity to the Hudson River and its role as a transportation hub due to nearby train stations and bridges connecting it to other parts of the region. The town had a strong sense of community pride, with local businesses supporting residents through decades of growth and development. White Plains, on the other hand, served as an important commercial center for northern Westchester County. Its downtown area featured numerous shops, restaurants, and offices catering to both locals and commuters from surrounding areas. The city also housed several cultural institutions, including museums and galleries showcasing art and history related to the region's rich heritage. Despite their differences, both towns shared common characteristics such as diverse populations consisting of families, professionals, retirees, and students attending local schools or universities located nearby. Residents enjoyed access to recreational activities offered by parks, trails, and sports facilities throughout each municipality. Over time, however, changes occurred within these communities reflecting broader trends affecting urbanization patterns across America during this period. Increased population densities led developers to construct new residential complexes while existing neighborhoods faced challenges adapting to modern lifestyles without losing traditional values associated with small-town living.

Robins quite common in area. Hermit Thrush - once heard, 2x seen. Mountain Bluebirds- Nest in aspen near our camp. Hole at 8' on south side of trunk. Open parkland of grass and aspen, yellow pine 50 feet away. Young in nest being fed by 2 males and 1 female. Banded one male on left leg (1A) - h1-152124.July25. 7-25 Saw,one male fly 37' (ground distance) from 9' perch to pick up green catepillar to young. Adults often brought food to nest faster than another adult could vacate nest - they waited in line to feed the young.

Mtn. Bluebird continued: 7-26 At 3:30 p.m. M and F feeding. Watched F bring 1"-long green Geometridae caterpillar, fly from nest to perch just 3 feet from nest hole, and fly to ground to pick up grasshopper 1½" long and took to nest. All within one minute. The adults would perch in the shade of the aspen trunks when not feeding. They always seem to kill food on ground or limb before going to nest with it. Both M and F can hover over possible food, about 2-3' above ground. Also observed adults occasionally carrying out fecal sacs. Call of young quite weak these two days, when fed. 7-27 The Oregon Junco chases chipping sparrows, and the Mtn. Bluebird chases juncos. Right after a thunderstorm this afternoon, the F fed young 2 grasshoppers. So did male. Also, F brought a Sand Cricket (Stenopelmatu and green caterpillar and 2 more grasshoppers and many other trips were made that were not studied. Feeding active in morning, quite through mid-hours, and picks up again in late afternoon unless disrupted by rain and our activities. 7-28 Adults still carrying out fecal sacs.

F was bold and scolded me and came close and fed even when I there. the 2 males were lined up on adjacent perch waiting to get to nest they being not 3 feet from my head. Quite a view of them. The F was observed to make 5 attempts to secure food, the last one being successful. Their hunting success varied from 1 in1, to this 1 in 5 tries, at 6:30 p. 7-29 At 9 a.m. the adults were waiting in line to feed the young. The adults range at least 100 yards downhill to west of nest; 300 yards uphill to northeast and north of nest; 75 yards east and SE of nest, uphill; and 75 yards south of nest, across aspen glen. All boundaries seem to be determined by coniferous forest-open or aspen border. The adults did use some of the firs for perches while looking for food.
