1939. Jan. 3 (Contd). At Santa Cruz, West Cliff Drive, the waves were dashing over the tops of the clifps as there were no gulls or cormorants, or pelicans on the usual rocks or cliffs. In one very deep cave I saw about a dozzen Sanderling following the waves as they receded. There was very little sand uncovered as the tide was very high. I was looking for Heermann Gulls but found none. The only gulls seen were in one group on the water outside the breakers - We stopped at the cottage for lunch and I rested there in the automobile until 2:45 when the sun disappeared over the mountain. Clouds of Pine Siskins flit from the alders. Varied Thrushes, Robins and Hermit Thrushes abundant - Returned to Berkeley. Jan. 4. Wrentits sing every morning outside my window. Rain at night. Jan. 5.
