1938 Jan. 12 (contd) Hudsonian Curlew - perhaps 30 scattered in the Salicornia or on the mud nearer the Highway. Invariably they showed deeper cinnamon on the lower parts, brown heads and backs and showed no cinnamon lining in wing when they flew. The Lb. Curlews had a bold look on the side of the head and neck - palter sides and underparts but when they flew showed bright cinnamon lining to the wing. Willet were abundant out near the open water- I could see the flash of black & white in the wings as flouts changed their positions - Only a few near the highway. No yellowlegs seen or heard. Least Sandpipers abundant very near the roadway, soon outside the fence. Western Sandpiper - quite sure I saw some mixed in with the Dowitchers and Least Sdp. near the roadway. I suspect that large flocks out near the open water west Western- Dowitchers - perhaps two hundred or more near the highway. Red-backed Sandpiper - none seen near the roadway- may have been farther away. Marbled Godwits- only two seen on the mud flats. At Dammavarton Bridge the Tide was out farther than I have ever seen it (-0.6 of Ft. H.) - hundreds of feet of mud exposed but nothing on it except Dowit- ches at its west end. The usual Eared Grebes in the first
