Aug.5 Aug.10 James and I walked up to the head of Strawberry Canyon where I spent an hour watching the hummingbirds in the tobacco fields. A smaller area has been planted this year but there were hundreds of hummers. During the first twenty minutes I could make sure of Amazas only but as I reached the south-eastern end of the planting I found many Allenos also. There were adult Amazo but I could not be sure there were any adult Alleno but they dart about at such a rapid pace that I may have missed the adults. Some of the small ones had rufous tail coverts, some green, as I noted last year. Several grosbeaks were heard. Thrasher singing. Aug.12 We drove to Sonoma via Carquinez Bridge and Sears Pt. On the mud muss flats there were many Marbled Godwits (100+) and a few Black-bellied Plover. A few W. Sandpipers (6-8) and Northern Phalaropes (8-10), 2 American Egrets (yellow bills), about 100 White Pelicans, and a few Ruddy Ducks (20+) and Pintails (100+) were seen. Also Blue Herons, 1 Painters, 1 Willet (?)(previously yellowlegs). The man on the bridge at the west end of the marsh told me the White Pelicans had remained continuously during the past two years but the number has increased; that they always fly when an air plane goes over. We watched them for sometime from the machine. They paid no attention to us till they heard us start the engine to go on when they all fled & the black flight features then came into view through only three shadows black while they remained on ground. The pintails were all in replie plumage but several of the ruddis were very red. Other bird
