165 On the pond (fresh water) near Vallejo on the Ann Canyon Road we saw three male Buffleheads besides Ruddies + Coots - At Sears St. Cut-Off at high tide all the birds were on the north side of the road so that visibility was much better than when the birds are following the tide out at the shore line. I have never seen so many birds collected there. The clouded's sometimes inter- fused with identifications. Ducks were mostly Pintails but Spoonbills and Reddies were numerous and our female Canvasback was seen. About 500 Avocets were settled on the water - not feeding. Small islands were crowded with Willets and Black-bellied Plovers and stretching out in long lines between islets where water was not too deep were brown birds - Curlews) or Godwits. Suddenly all the birds rose and whirled about in the air, Avocets flying low, Godwits (and Curlews?) above them - Sometimes they inter- mingled for a few minutes then separated into clear flocks of each kind and alighted again in the same place from which they had risen. When we turned back at the Sonoma Creek Bridge and returned to Vallejo we had better views of the brown birds and found whole flocks of Godwits with upturned bills.
