At the M.V.Z. on Feb. 13a Mr. Wellman reported his Condor over Mt. Diablo. So we drove to the top of Diablo, keeping watch all the way. On the way up we saw very few birds but as we came down (1:30-2:30) the air was sprinkled with hawks at certain points where air currents came against ridges. Sparrow Hawks were most ab., several times I saw as many a 6-8 at one time. They were poised on fluttering wings usually but a few on motionless wings. The large birds were either Two- Tow Buzzards or Redtails. No Condors. Cloudy over ocean - Could see snowy Sierra almost to Mt. Whitney Shorts Clouds menacing
