Buzzard, Spotted Sandpiper, Violet-green Swallow, Oriole, Lark Sparrow, Meadow Lark, Bushtit, Bulbul Bird, Warbling Vireo, Grosbeak, Calif Woodpecker, In the Sacramento Valley on rice land: Forster Terns, Black Terns, Ducks, Killdeer, lunched at Williams (hot), then drove on to Red Bluff where we stopped from 4:30 p.m. till 7 p.m. Then on to Redding where we spent the night at the Golden Eagle Hotel. On the highest part of the road between Red Bluff and Redding we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. The sun set behind some high mts- in the coast range and the sky above was quite cloudy - The colors on the clouds were very brilliant while the mts- were a won- derful violet color such as one sees on Pnyxellus from the Acropolis at Athens. Just before reaching Willows I saw in the marsh Three American egrets which I watched 10-15 minutes - only a hundred feet or so from the highway - Many Red-winged Blackbirds and James saw one Yellow-headed Blackbird. At Red Bluff I spent about an hour near the bridge across the Sacramento River and saw the Brown Towhee, Calif. Jay, Calif Wail?, Meadowlark, Wood Pewee, Yellow Warbler, Lazuli Bunting, Linnets, B.B. Blackbirds, Warbling Vireo, Calif. Woodpecker, Eng. Sparrow, Spotted Sandpiper and Willow Goldfinch. Just at dark I saw three yellow-billed Magpies near Anderson. At dusk a bird was singing a song I heard at Clear Lake in a similar situation - perhaps a vespers song of Bullsnk Oriole - certainly not its ordinary song- more like that of Hooded Oriole.
