Only gulls on the bay except on the rocks near
the Preliminary landing where there were Cormorants,
prinatals and possibly some shore birds.
We came into Berkeley by the Bay Shore

where we watched N. Phalaropes. On the
bird island farther north there were three
Brown Pelicans, 1 Am. Egret, and several
Bonaparte Gulls. One Far. Cormorant was
fishing
Total: 43 species.

of migrating birds. Heard a Red-breasted
Nutatch; a group of tanagers; noticed
first the soft whistled notes, later the
"pret-ty" call. Warblers came to bathe
(busy at the Telephone). At sunset a sharp
note like that of Fox Sparrow when he
goes to roost.
