1938 Sept. 15. As I went out this morning I found dozens of robins gathering the abundant berries of the wild currants near the entrance Steps. A few were taking the cotoneaster berries In Mrs. Parson's garden most robins were eating the Mountain Ash berries. The Lady Birds went to the Vallejo Reservoir and Bear Pt., marshes. Weather warm, no wind. We drove out of Berkeley by the Bayshore Highway from University Ave. north. As the tide was out a little way Shore birds and gulls and terns were feeding in favorable places. Near the Yacht Harbor there were many Foster Terns (20-30); all I examined showed the black line on the side of the head, the white crown. A few Bonaparte Gulls were seen. On the mud there were Bountchers (20+), Willets (2) and Sandpipers, Sparrow Plovers? Vallejo. Godwits (2). When we reached the Vallejo Reservoir we found Coots (40?), Pintails (reclipse plumage), a few Ruddy's, one female followed by seven young; Two American Egrets came in and were harried by Blackbirds. Both, Brewer and Redwinged Blackbirds were abundant in the tules. A Black Phoebe was seen and also a number of smaller flycatchers, grayish brown on back, gray below, two buffy wing bars; throat quite white extending backward on sides of neck, grayish chest & belly. No notes were heard. We could see no distinct eye ring. Were they Traill Flycatchers? They were very active in the edge of the tules. Savannah Sparrows, Willow Goldfinches and
