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.
