- Marin Co. Park at Stinson Beach, Marin Co., Calif
From about 1:15 to 2 P.M. we looked thru
this fine little park which has scattered
cottonwood & (alder?) trees, some of which
had buds just opening, and tangles of
blackberry vines & a climbing, my-
leaved, yellow-flowered composite.
Such an area located right next to a
sandy beach seems an anomaly; but
Marin Co. seems to be full of things like that.
a list of the birds observed in the 45 min.
follows: [* = see species account]
Killdeer - 2+ (foraging on grass & gravel driveways
in picnic areas) -- among trees!)
Glaucous-winged Gull - many overhead.
Hummingbird (sp.?) - heard
Red-shafted Flicker - 2
Downy Woodpecker - 1
Chestnut-backed Chickadee - 2

Hermit Thrush - 1
