1938 Other birds heard: Coast jays - a family, young seasong for food; Kingfisher - heard its rattle as it flew over; Olive-sided Flycatcher, peep-pip call heard frequently. Often seen on the electric wire. Chickadees, Creeper (heard once), Cassin Vireo (chee-chee-chee) Warbling Vireo (sang a few trios), Spotted Towhee, Brown Towhee, Grosbeak - Call not heard and saw it several times as it flew across the opening in front of the cottage; Junco, Green-backed Goldfinch, Many notes of young birds I did not have time to identify. July 13. Started home about 2:30 p.m. Stopped at Mt. View Marsh with tide just going out. I was astonished at the number of birds; Hudsonian Curlew - I counted 19 in one bunch that crossed the highway and many were still visible in the salt- cowina. Many more were seen as we continued northward - with stops every few yards. Estimated more than 100 actually seen and probably many more in the distance or hidden. Long-billed Curlew - a few were cer- tainly of this species as I saw the two kinds close together for comparison. They seemed less buffy than in the spring, the sides of the head very light grey instead. They gave the cur-lew call.
