6 1934 Willets wheeling and circling low over the water and settling on distant mud banks. On the water was a larger raft of Ruddy Ducks (1000+) and two Lesser Scaups. Some of the narrow mud lines in the calt pools were solidly covered with Sandpipers asleep. We had to wait nearly an hour for the turn of the tide during which time nothing was seen on the bay shore in front of us except a few gulls. But as the water began to recede a huge flock of sandpipers came in (2000+) and our Black-bellied Plover. After a few minutes other flocks appeared, mostly Sandpipers, B.B. Plover and Willets. The tide went out rapidly and the sun broke in from the west a little too low to give good light from the mud bank where we were watching. So we went up on the bridge and stood above the birds on the edge of the tide-receding water. A few godwits could be distinguished in addition to Willets & B.B. Plover. On the mud a scattered flock of some fifty Denis' juncos Clover was feeding. March 4. A perfect spring day. Clear, warm. The Anna hummingbird which emptied the feeding tubes before the last cold rainy week seems to have disappeared. The tubes remain full. An Allen hummingbird comes to the red-hot poker plants now. March 5. Cloudy pm., warm. Mar. 6-8. Very warm; light north winds. Mar. 9. Bird Lore Class in Strawberry Canyon. Warm, Beauty day. Very little breeze. Took a new trail along the creek bed made by C.C.C. men camped in canyon. Many fritillaries and trilliums; currant almost gone. Alder trees covered with cattails. Anderson Warblers feeding in alders. Luticent Warbler spared - certainly 8 males singing. Berkeleys more.
