1939 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
