68 1932 Aug. 9. Returned to Berkeley via Dumbarton Bridge - High Tide - At west end of bridge only bird seen was one Cliff Swallow. In salt pools at east end were thousands of phalaropes in winter plumage and a few Western Sandpipers. A few of the Sandpipers were feeding on the highway together with miniatures and female Brewer Blackbirds (a few ad. males) Only two or three gulls were seen (Calif ?) and on the last salt pool a pair of Forster Terns - Swallows were quite numerous too - mostly Cliff. In the distance one bird in the main bay looked like a Western Grebe. The wind made the water choppy and on the salt pools the foam was blown up into the air and across the highway. Heavy fog on the Skyline Blvd. from Knip's Mt. north. Widespread in the valley; warm in Oakland and Berkeley. Aug. 12. Drove to Cliff House and Golden Gate Park. At Cliff House tide was fairly low. On the Seal Rocks there were about 150 Brown Pelicans perched ; also some Cormorants, very few gulls. On the shore and the nearer rock were two Surf Birds, 8-15 Black Ternstones ; one Willet and one Buddy Ternstone. Aug. 14. Pt. Richmond. What Calidridae? Semipalmated.
