73 As the tide flowed out small flocks of Sanderling and later Sandpipers (Western and Least) came in over the water and increased to 100s + before we started home (2 p.m.). A few Killdeer came in from over the marsh flying quite high and calling. A small group of Bonaparte Gulls stayed for a few minutes, dropping to the water like Terns. Western and California Gulls most of them in mature plumage, some in very dark plumage, remained all the time and one rim Glaucous-winged Gull was seen. A few coots flew past the point at the west end.

At San Mateo Bridge Wilets had been reduced to about 30 in one flock, no godwits, 8-12 Black-bellied W. Grebe Plovers, a few small flocks of Sandpipers, two or three red-backed. Several flocks of ducks flew south while tide was still high- In salt pools south of the west end of the bridge Sandpipers
