A flock of pipits came in and alighted on the mud and several Bryant Sparrows were near the road. At Dumbarton Bridge there were many Sand pipers (W.T.L.), some Willets and Bt. Clover- and several Clapper Rails on the mud at the West end. After crossing the bridge there were no birds along the shore but our the Salt pools Eared Grebes (400+), N. Phala- ropes (3), Willets trunched in shallow water, resting (no Godwits with them as far as I could see) a few sandpipers but no Redbacks. Some Calif. & Ping billed Gulls and one Roma- [illegible] Forster's Terns - White Pelicans (600+) American Egrets (200+), many St. Blue Herons 1 Coroo, 1 Cost, 1 Marsh Hawk, 1 Shrike, 1 Bunner- ring Curl, x1/1 Horned Larks. Several pipits, a flock of Brewer Blackbirds, and two Audubon Warblers and a flock of Buget Bound Sp. We went around the south end of the hill where the quarry is and found we could get much nearer the pelicans, From that point we could see the egrets. A few of them seemed smaller and may have been Snowy. It was on this hill where there are old century plants, some Toyons and a few acacias and eucalyptus that we saw the shrike, flickers. And W. Sparrows and B. Curl. 52 Species.
