Bush tits, Chickadees (heard), Nuttall Sparrows. We all
lunch at the bottom of the bluff near the tules.
Western Yellowthroats came very near and Tree Wrens
were singing on all sides - A Sora Rail walked out
immediately in front of us - soon after we heard its
loud call. Cools were everywhere. No swallows were
seen. At Slow Lake large numbers of Glaucous-winged
gulls but only one in full plumage. Puddy Ducks were
in full plumage - A few Bluebills, Pintails and one
Canvas back, many Mallards, two Cackling Geese.
Over the bay were Western Grebes and Surf Scoters. Very
few gulls. No Bonapartes all day. At the Japanese
Tea Garden flowering trees were at their best.
April 5, 6. Cloudy, cool. Apr. 6. Watched a pair of quail
that had separated from the flock and seemed to be
looking for a nesting site. The female stood perfectly still
in a spot at the top of the open-work wall for twenty
minutes while the male perched a few feet away. Then the
female disappeared in the oxalis for a few minutes,
returning to the same spot where she spent another 15 min.
Apr. 7. Foggy in early morning, then clear, cool. Spent morning
with Class in Cordonees. Birds very abundant. W.V. Golden-
Crowned Sparrows. Fox Sparrow, Audubon Warbler, Hermit Thrush,
Roe-Kinglet,
Cooper Hawk.

Vireo, W.Flycatcher, Allen Hummer. Mig. W.Tanager female.
