" " . 1 Tray Sprinkled River Glen As we drove home I noticed Cliff Swallows, Meadowlarks, and 4 Morning Doves (on El. lines) in Scott Valley. Heard a Creeper (Brookdale) We stopped at the Almanzo Pools where I saw 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.
