139 and there was still snow under the branches - too in shady places along the road. Jan. 17. Cloudy again. In afternoon we walked up Panoramic Way. A huge flock of Golden- browned Sparrows was seen on the S.W. Slope (200t); 14 Cedar Waxwings perched on the electric wire; a few Anderson Warblers below the road on the South side of the hill. Two thrashers were singing - one up the ravine at the switch-back and one nearer the top of the road. Jan. 18. A thrasher was singing beautifully in the deodor at the top of Orchard Law- He has been there all winter - The Faculty Section went to Lake Merritt - Cloudy, chilly with heavy rain after we came home. At the Embareaders among the Canna backs, Puddies, Bluebells and Baldpates was a Redhead - male in full plumage - and the European Widgeon- At the fresh water feeding station, Niro-Sheldy, saw the Wood Duck, Pintails, Mallards, and Baldpates were very abundant. An miniature Glauces-winged Gull had a small round hollow gourd in his beak and kept playing with it until the migro began to feed the duckers. It would drop it but pick it up again immediately; chase any other gull that made a move to get it; fly away with it; return and drop it, catch it up etc. etc.
