Oct. 15, 16. Audubon Warblers very abundant in
the oak trees near the house.
Oct. 17. Allen Hammer Group went to Filden Park and
San Pablo Reservoir. High fog all the morning.
Along the trail to the caves birds were very
scarce where on way! they were as abundant.
Very little water in the stream - more running
only tiny pools. Both Coast and Calif. guys
were abundant in oak regions, gathering around.
With the exception of Audubon Warblers which
were abundant at the lower falls and juncoes
which were probably the most ab. species
everywhere other species were limited to
one or two individuals. At the first stop
we were surprised to see a Lawrence
Goldquich. Other species seen: heard: Flicker,
Wrentit, Vigor's Wren, R.C. Kinglet, Hermit Thrush,
Robin (one only), Townsend Warbler (1), Fox Sp.
Brown- & Spotted Towhee- Song Sparrows. A
few swallows flew over. Also three White Bel-
licano in flight.
We drove across the Wildcat Canyon Rd.
to San Pablo Reservoir. Along this way we
saw many Redtails, some W. Bluebirds and Audubon
Warblers and juncoes. We hunched among oaks
on the hillside near the end of the road where
Calif. Woodpeckers were active, stoning acorns in
a dead White Oak. We saw two Nuttall wood-
peckers, and a Shrike, R.C. Kinglet, Titmouse and
Towhees. Near the Reservoir there were flocks
of Buegenensis, one Willow Goldfinch, a Shrike
