1938. Apr 9 (contin from previous page) In the after noon we drove to Santa Cruz and out the West Cliff Drive. Tide was high. Many Brown Pelicans, Farallon Cormorants, Gulls, and two large flocks of Sanderlings (one on a grassy slope at the top of a cliff over the ocean.) the band of Western Grebes. No Turnstones or Guillemots. At this point where the Guillemots usually nest. There were swarms of Cliff Swallows, many more than we saw at Dumbarton Bridge. April 11. Partly overcast, chilly wind. The Faculty Section went to Alameda and the Oakland Airport. At the first stop on the new highway in Alameda on the edge of the bay (with a sea wall) a large flock of Bonaparte Gulls (almost all with black heads) were on the water. They seemed to be jacking up something from the surface of the water (insects?) Bluebills were numerous and a few Scaup Scoters in full plumage and bright tails) were seen. One female Golden Eye. The next stop was on the outer shore of Bay Farm Island where we saw more Scaup and Scoters including the White-winged. Further on the outer point of a tidal island (high tide) was crowded solidly with Sanderlings and Red-backed Sandpipers. As we turned in toward the air port from a shore line to the north a huge flock of shore birds rose, divided and circled, but were too far away to identify exactly
