Apr. 6. I went with James to Boulder Creek. At the Alvardo ponds there were very few water birds: a few Willets and Shovelers. Water was very deep because of the heavy storms during the past weeks. Two pairs of Bur- rrowing Owls were perched on the R.R. Track - probably their holes full of water. At Dumbarton Bridge the salt pools to the north were covered with Bluebills as far as we could see - 6 oag - 10,000 of them. Some Dowitchers and Willets, Redbuckts in full plumage; Puddies. Avocets near their nesting area abundant. At Mr. Vird Marsh Tide was out too far. Very few birds. At Boulder Creek Cassia Vires, Juncoes singing - Lutescentes higher up - 2.0 m from Alta Summer seen - Total 92 in.
