Hears a Tanager in Berkeley (34 Morrow)
April 29. Clear, warm. Dumbarton Bridge.
The first salt pool north of the roadway
were very shallow and there were,
thousands of Sandpipers in it. There I
could see well enough to identify were Western
Sandpipers in breeding plumage. The
heavier bill was noticeable. They were
busily feeding and there was a continuous
peeping of the multitude. I have never
seen them in such large numbers before.
Farther down came, Redbacks in full
plumage. I saw about six Northern
Phalaropes in summer plumage, and
in the last pool about 158 Cared Grebes,
in breeding plumage.
