March 22 vicinity of San Diego, San Diego Co., Calif.
a large group of White-thr. Swif[s], and present at least
2 weeks according to McCluskie. We then returned
to San Diego Bay where we looked a shorebirds etc.
along the E side of the Bay. Saw a Peregrine
Falco chasing shorebirds, lots of Snowy Egret[s]
(including one in olded black feathers), and
3 American Brant as with about 40 Black
black
Brant. The sharply set off breast + pale belly and
the incomplete collar were easy to see. In about
500 Black Brant near by, there were no light-bellied
birds at all. Not much else about.
March 23. will leave for home this evening. Spent
the A.M. at San Diego State, the afternoon at
a feeder where a Dickcissel had wintered (gone
now!). Stopped by the museum of Wat. H. Story,
and at the dump near, saw an adult Laughing
Gull which was molting in the black head. Got on
a bus in the evening and slept most of
the way home.
