1939 day 7 saw our take a bird in Tseemah (back of the garage), At noon heard a Tanager in the distance (toward the Huntington Place). Bird songs much decreased. Beautiful weather. On the way home, at Mt. Vird Marsh, the tide was out to far for best results but we saw many Red & Long-tailed Curlew and Willets. (Also many Riddles) At Drum Bridge Avocets (8 yq. 1/2 grown.) Willets as on July 8. Also Forster's Caspian Terns. Eight Least Sandpipers seen. One of the adult Avocets alighted in the roadway ahead of us when we were driving very slowly, crouched and spread its wings with the head near the ground. He did not leave until we increased our speed. July 14. Berkeley. I heard the whistled call, the "pretty" call and the song of a W. Tanager. The bird was in the trees above Moorewood Rd. July 15. We crossed Dumbarton Bridge on the way to Boulder Creek. There were three White Pelicans flying about. Willets numbered about 150; Avocets with young j u i d beginning to show black tail feathers very abundant (1005). Both Caspian and Forster Terns were numerous and Sandpipers (W-4 Least) had increased, the large majority being Least.
