100. No Phalaropes or Sandpipers seen but
Several Forster's Terns were near the roadway.
They were larger than the Terns we saw on
July 5, the black continued to the bill ex-
closing the eye, the bill was reddish and the
tail very deeply forked. 20 Willets at W. end of Bridge.
At Mt. View we found Curlews still more
abundant than on July 5 and about half
of them were Hudsonian, half Long-tailed.
Those near enough the road to be dis-
tinguished must have numbered over
50. About 30 Willets were seen.
July 9. We worked all the morning (garden, hall
and bath-room). About noon I heard a Tanager.
(no Button Vireo or Winter Wren). Kingfishers heard.
In the late afternoon we drove out The
West Cliff Drive at Santa Cruz. We found
Heermann's Gulls at., a long line of
Shorebirds off shore (300+), Brown
Pelicans (20+), with the Cormorants on the
rocks, a few W.W. Seeters &. We watched
the Bullock's feeding young in the nests at
the point. They brought small, slender
fish like Sardines. We heard their calls
and could see the scarlet lining of the mouth.
July 10. Boulder Creek. I heard a great com-
motion among the birds east of the house
and saw a Hawk (Cooper's?) fly off. Yester.
