1942 Warbler quite common. Only one Black-throated Gray Warbler heard on hill above the Winkellbleks. Two thrashers singing on brushy hillside. Beyond the settlement where the road is next to the river and the bluff on the other side is very steep and very wet a Water Ouzel was calling. We found him first on the water washed rocks piled up at the base of the bluff. He began to sing and then flew to the bluff where there its slopes straight into the water. He pattered about on the slippery rock, singing frequently. Some- times he flicked out a bit of moss with his beak. His feet looked dull flesh. We could see the white eyelid. His song was loud and clear-phrased. Reminded me a little of the Rock Wren but much more ringing- quite varied. We watched him for about twenty minutes. April 12. A warm night - Night fog which continued most of the morning. Became quite cloudy after lunch and was cloudy all the way home. A Coast Jay came for bread. No new birds this morning. On the way home we passed the Alvarado Pool again. In a wet field back of the Sugar Factory we found 78 Hudsonian Curlews and 18 Dowitchers. Many were bathing in the fresh water. After watching them some time we tried to flush them - blew the horn, slammed the auto door, Miss Gladding got out and tried to frighten them away but they paid no attention. Finally the Curlews flew and then the Dowitchers
