fully 500, on telegraph wires in
Thamesido.
27 Ring-billed
Gulls came for a drink; all
showing molting primaries from
molting tailfeathers, all the all
but 3 are dark-plumaged they
two cannot be birds of this
year's hatching. Early
migrating non-breeders?
On the bunch of tules are
a few tule wrens, evidently
feeding young.
Many
presumably my sparrows and
Bryant Marsh Sparrows out on
Salicornia marshes; also
tracks of Clapper Rail in plenty
in mud of sloughlots, and Bryant
saw one of the birds. I saw
an adult Marsh Hawk twice
carrying over the marsh in
usual fashion. Butcherbird
round windmills. Many
Red-winged Blackbirds about;
evidently a roosting place on Tule patch.
