As we drove home I noticed Cliff Swallows,

two Cinnamon Teal (males) nearby and several in the
distance; one male Mallard and 3 male Brantails.
A few Coots were on the open water; Killdeer were
making a great fuss and when J.T. got out of the
car and Avocet flew in to protest. Across
the pool to the north I could see a Stilt.
At this date I would suppose all there are
breeding there. Red-winged Blackbirds ab. Robins
were not detected in Mt. mountains but were
seen in the Santa Clara Valley. Enq. Sp. - in the Forms -
