1941 Their flight when they were high was different from the flight when they move from tree to tree. They looked a little like swallows but fluttered the wings more and flew more directly. I could not hear their notes until they stopped to the trees. Golden-crowned Kinglets were about. Near a Hutton Vines, several Hermit Thrushes and a few Robins. Did not detect any Varied Thrushes. Tyny Wrenthatches, Chickadees, juncos, Towhees as usual. A Coast Jay took all the suet I put on the table. On the way home we discovered the Mc.Vin Marsh is no more. When the tide was supposed to be high there was no water (almost). Mrs. H. in Palo Alto told me a breakwater has been built by the gun club down on the shore. At Dumbarton Bridge tide was high and shore birds were packed on sand bars south of the bridge - too far away for close identification. Five or six thousands of them, facing the sun as they were gleaming white. At some places we saw Willets and the Three-band pipers near by and in the distant pool many Avocets. Our Egrets were very ab (150?) also Bon. Gulls everywhere; a few White Pelicans 20? Eared Grebes were scattered - esp. ab. among the Bon. Gulls north of the road, near east end. Bipits at. Nov. 10, Berkeley. A flock of 4c Kinglets in our Trees - Very foggy.
