White-fronted Goose-2 Black Tern - 2 Anthony Green Heron-4 Forster's Tern - 4 Red-backed Sandpiper-3 Bullock's Oriole-4 This makes a total of 38 species seen today. Today was the first time this year that I had seen Black or Forster's Terns, Green Heron, or Red-backed Sandpiper. A flock of 60 White-fronted Geese were seen to pass over, headed north just as I was preparing to return home. April 27 Very few ducks were seen flying today. The majority of them were seen loafing on the newly flooded fields. I didn't reach the wheat & barley fields until 8:50A.M., + by that time, apparently, all searching for mating sites was over for the morning. A flock of 55 White-fronted Geese flew over, going north. Two new Killdeer nests were found & marked. About ½ the morning was spent under the pipeline ledge watching the cliff swallows. The species seen today are: Greater Yellow-legs-3 Mallard-2 Red-winged Blackbird-1 Coot - 3 House Finch-3 Great Blue Heron-3 Meadowlark-3 Marsh Wren-4 American Egret-3 Pheasant-3 Bittern-4 Avocet - 4 Tree Swallow-4 Killdeer-3 Calif.
