1943 watched from a distance. The wind was blowing hard. Besides the Caspian Terns, I saw two or three Forster Terns (the call is different), two Avocets, one Northern Phalarope and 6-8 rare Grebes with very black necks and red earplumes. A few Ring-billed Gulls came into the rookery when the birds were disturbed and Mrs. Reynolds said she saw one take an egg and swallow it. The eggs were dusty brown with dark brown spots and the young were either dark dusty brown or light dusty brown. There were several dead young on the levee. Mrs. Horner (Kathleen Duggan) was taking stills all the Terns.) Five Army Blimps were soaring about and just one, then two soared low over the rookery. This is the first time I ever went into a rookery and I do not care to do it again. I would much prefer to look on at distance. June 3. A cold N.W. wind. Clear. Mrs. Hackley reported Titmouse (pr) + yg. and a Song Sp. with one young bird taking soft bread + sweet at her tray. Also the second brood of Brown Thrashers in the old nest, yg. squeaking. June 4. Beautiful weather. June 5. Singing under my window 7-7:30 a.m. Veg's Wren (constantly), W. Flycatcher, Sp. Thrush; Frequently Hutton Vireo, Lutetian, Tolete, Pileated Wrecker, Occ. Grosbeak, Thrush, Song Sparrow, Titmouse (calls) Later Gr. Goldfinch. Song Sp. takes much oat- meal from table for young.
