We tried & go to Boulder Creek but there was too much rain. Visited the Allied Arts in Maule Park. Heard W. Flycatcher [illegible] (seen in Bartree), Warbling Vireo, Y.C. Sparrow. At Mt. Veis Marsh the tide was high - very few birds. In one tiny islet there were 1 R.t. Clover, 1 Willet, 1 Dowitcher. At Dumbarton Bridge there were about 3000 Lesser Scaups - more than I have ever seen here before; great numbers of Bonaparte Gulls; Redbacked & W.
