No Knigleters heard. Juncos were feeding something
off of roof - seeds or gravel? Beautiful weather.
Oct. 26 Mrs. Wilbur's group went to Dumbarton Bridge,
Mt. Vird, Redwood City, San Mateo Bridge, Alameda.
Foggy. In order to reach Mt. Vird marsh before
the tide was out too far we made no stops
at Dumbarton Bridge but birds there were very
abundant, especially Grecos. No pelicans or egrets
were seen. At Mountain View the tide was too far out
for us to see a great number of birds from the highway,
but we had good views of the different species - Long-
billed Curlew, Br. Plover, Willets, Dovetails, Yellowlegs,
Sandpipers, one Godwit, and Rails. As the fog did
not lift we went to Mrs. Taylor's place at Redwood
City for lunch - Sunny and warm there. Hutton Vireo,
Chickadees, Hermit Thrush, and Cremed Sparrows there
At San Mateo Bridge the tide was almost high and
birds were hunched together on sandspits many with
their heads under their wings. Willets and Godwits most
numerous. At the Oakland Airport Traffic was too thick
to allow of a stop but I saw a large flock of Sandpipers
At the estuary between Bay Farm Island and Alameda
