1919.
Sept.
single birds were seen. On the beach,
Brewer Bl. and Gulls were acting as
Scavengers.
In the bay there were large numbers
of Sandpipers, phalar., and Bon. Gulls.
One large flock in the distance behaved
like terns. They seemed to be following a
school of fish. The Pied-billed Grebes
on Stow Lake called a number of times
a loud, clear, whistling note, higher
pitched than that of coot. Total number
of species seen - 43. A Cooper Hawk,
flew into a flock of Dst. and Nuttall
Sp. in pine trees.
Sept.23. Saw a Marsh Hawk rise in
spiral over W. side of hill. Rump spot,
tail bands, black tip of wing and pointed
primaries distinct.
Sept.24. Golden-crowned Sparrow back.
Vaux Swifts seen in Claremont.
Torned Marblers back.
Brown Towhee on table very ragged
from moulting.
Sept.25. Banded Br. Towhee on table - not an
exception but the regular thing.
