1938 No Phalaropes yet. At Mountain View marsh birds were very scarce. Tides was coming in. Several (6?) Hudsonian Curlew and one Long- billed was seen and a few Black-bellied Plover in full plumage and Willets. At Woodedge also Pileolated - two pairs. a pair of Lutescent Warblers, Chukdeers in flocks. April 15. Spent most of the morning in the garden. Beautiful weather. Several Black-throated Gray Warblers heard, and several Pileolated. No new spring birds heard. In the late afternoon we went to Santa Cruz and drove along the west Cliff Drive. No Cinquefoil Swallows at the point where they usually nest but hundreds of Cliff Swallows soaring about. Tide was high but on the sandy beach near the Light House a few Scoliro were scampering on the beach, wallowing in the shallow water and then floating off when the waves receded. One small flock (25?) Panderling were running after the receding waves and racing back before their coming in. Ten Hudsonian Curlews came in (sunset). Juncos seem to be nesting under Toyon at Woodedge. April 16. The first bird I heard in the morning was a Black-throated Grosbeak and a little later the Olive-sided Flycatcher began to call. Just before we left at 2 p.m. a Lazuli Bunting was singing. The only winter bird heard was the Golden-crowned Sparrow. On the way home I heard Gambel Sparrows. Overcast but mild.
