Oct. 19. Heard Kuffielder in direction of Swimming
Pool. In Kennington I saw a flock
of about 15 Ducks flying about. Saw
them several times at intervals. Not far
from Aerating Plant; also Spence St. Rec.
Many H-C Sparrows singing below me.
Several Fox Sparrows near pool. Songs heard.
Oct. 21 Dumbarton Bridge. High tide 7:38 4.8
10 a.m. Pelicans? move toward the P.R.
but about 100 in pool where they were
last week. Eared Grebes <400+. Albinos seem
picking things from the surface of the
water. Very pretty. Avocets< in squadrons
about 500, resting in the salt pool.
No Phalaropes. Very few Sandpipers
Willets & Br. Plover as usual; Pintails <
many on a dyke, many in the salt pools,
many more to the south too far to identify
Spirits> still very ab., feeding on the roadway.
Mr. View Marsh. Tide 4.8 is a little too low
for best observations because there is
so much mud exposed even at high
