148 1937 July 19 - Santa Cruz - Many Newman Gulls with white heads; 2 Guillemots, Farallon Cormorants, Brown Pelican Tide high. July 20 - Returned to Berkeley. July 21. Saw the red squirrel which Lois says has been in the garden at intervals for some time. July 22. I flushed a quail from a nest containing eight eggs. The nest was hidden among the wild iris near the steps. She did not leave the nest until I almost stepped on her and then, though the nest was in front of me, she flew up from behind me. Evidently she slipped off a foot or so before she flew. July 24. Returned to Boulder Creek. James opened the road along the Railroad roadbed. On the way down we stopped at Mt. View marsh. I saw 2-30 Curlews. Only one was a Long-billed. He looked larger as he flew and gave a two-syllabled call, "mug." The smaller ones gave a call of three or more notes, higher pitched. All I looked at carefully showed the stripes on the head and shorter bills. I saw also a few Willets and two Black-bellied Plovers in full plumage. A flock of four small birds may have been Western Sandpipers. Tide out. July 30. Flushed the quail again (Berkeley garden).
