172 1937 Wrist the madrones, probably Varied Thrushes. Found there had been heavy tide fogs in Berkeley, Dec. 28, 29. Warner in Berkeley but Tube fog clear over the hills. Titmouse giving its spring calls - Peter, Peter. Wrent + Thrasher singing Dec. 30. Returned to Border Creek. Cloudy, warm. Still very few birds. Saw one flock of Robins- no Varied Thrushes. At Santa Cruz in the afternoon of Dec. 31 along the West Cliff Drive I saw 15 Godwits and about 30 Heermann Gulls - Cormorants, Brown Pelican and W. Gulls. Scoters as usual. The Godwits and Heermann Gulls were near the lighthouse where I saw the Saunders on Dec. 26. But though there were no Saunders to be seen I still heard the same note which must have been given by the Heermann Gull. This time I heard it, especially when a Gull in flight came to join those groups on the sand.
