of the Black-bellied Plover (Whoo-ee) and the wood-pecker like call of the Godwit, the thin, high pitched call of several notes belonged to the Black Dunmotors - Sept.30. Several Fox Sparrows were scratching under the bushes east of house when I got up. At 9:55 a.m. at the S.P. Station in West Berkeley a flock of Gambel Sparrows was singing. Oct. 1,2. Gambel Sparrows were heard at various Oct.3. Heard Hermit Thrush in early morning - Oct.4. Arlington Estates. Light fog, no wind. Birds very abundant. Horned Larks still feeding in the burned grass; Saramual Sparrow also. Meadowlarks very numerous and singing freely. Large flocks of sparrows including Nuttall, Gambel, Golden-crown. Other birds also heard: quail, Cal jay, Flieser, Vigors Vireo, Wrentit, Restated Nuthatch, Song Sparrows, Wood Finch Spotted Towhee. Oct.5. Blue Jay sings frequently, alternating whistled song similar to that of Thrasher with loud squawks - I hear the call notes of Audubon Warblers as I drive through the streets. Oct.6. Audubon Warblers in the canyon. Oct.7. A Golden-cr. Sp. came to pool. Horse Whin heard. Oct.10. Faculty Group went to St. Remunging. Summers day with very light breeze from west. A Clapged Rail came out from tule rush and sat on a pole beyond the bridge perhaps fifteen or twenty feet from him; I he backed in the shallow water and paraded back and forth. Two Black-bellied Plover stayed on the shore - very quiet, no calls. Found 10:30 more in a puddle in the marsh as we started home.
