1939 M.2.j. and I took a walk in the rain up the hill via Hamilton Gulch. Not many one Rufous-crowned Sparrows. birds; later at the end of Mosswood two Thrushes were singing, one above the road, the other below. The one above came down to the tree next to where the other one was singing. Their songs became whisper songs. There was no conflict. Possibly a pair as Mr. Dyer said the female sings. In the afternoon we drove down to the Aquatic Park and around the pool. Saw 1 Pied-billed Grebe, 4 Eared Grebes, 1 Blue Heron, 3 Anhingas; Ducks: Golden eyes 20+ but now in full plumage: Ruddies (winter plumage). Bluebills, Coots, a flock of about 50 small waders flew out from behind the island - Sandpipers 3 Thrush. At Fleming Point the tide was going out. Sandpiper and Sandpipers were both numerous - Sandpipers mostly Red- Cocks. Willets were the only larger waders, perhaps 60. There were many Bonaparte Gulls, all in winter plumage - perhaps 100. One Clapper Rail was seen. Killdeer were flying over giving their alarm calls. Ducks in the distance were Bluebills As far as I could see - Mar. 7, 8, 9. Heavy rain - 10. Cloudy- Thrushes sing at dawn each morning: Titmouse, Kinglets and Song Sparrows often
