Phalaropes, Calif and Bonaparte Gulls, Least Sand, I Willet. At the island in the long pool Pied- Billed Grebe, Farallone Common Loon Western, Calif. and Bon Gulls, Fork-tongued g., I Willet a few Least Sandpipers and the Pomarine Jaeger. The Jaeger behaved just as he did yes- today. When we went to the east side of the pool we could watch his tactics better for we could see behind the island and the length of both booms - The jaeger several times flew over the northern boom arousing all the birds perched there, passed east of the island to the south boom starting all the birds there, then singled out one tern and got his fish, then settled in the pool until ready for another dash. We drove out to the end of the old pier at the foot of University Ave. To see if any Pelicans could be seen but we found none. Gulls were Western, Common, Far. Several members of the group reported Tauer- gers in Berkeley during the past week. Mr. Leaven reported hearing a Fox Sparrow. Sept. 17. W.W. Wren near the east pool at dawn and until 7 a.m. Sept. 19. A Bk. Thrush heard.
