1938 April 6. Warner. Worked in garden - first time this spring. April 7. Varieble. A Cassin Vireo was heard near the house, and a Tolmie Warbler in the distance indistinctly. A small group of Bush Tits went through the trees bt. All notes heard were adults. Much more sun since trees have been thinned out. Heard Gulls Calling as they do when they spiral upward to migrate. April 9. Beautiful spring day. As the tide was right we stopped on the way to Boulder Creek at Mountain View Marsh expecting to see great numbers of migrating water birds. Instead there were fewer than at any time during the winter. The only birds seen within a hundred feet of the highway were two Clapper Rails outside the fence and Two Hudsonian Cirlces. In the distance I could see Long tailed Cirlens and Willets. At Dumbarton Bridge there were Red backed Sandpipers, some with black bellies, a few Least Willets (a few) and perhaps a thousand Bluebills. Many Cliff Swallows At Boulder Creek no water birds were heard. Warbling and Cassin Vireos and Western Flycatcher were heard more con- stantly and a Black throated Gray Warbler was singing much of the time. I did not detect a female.
