Cogswell 1949 Journal 15 Feb. 13 - Inverness Ridge, via road westerly part "H" Ranch, northernly, McLure's Rch., Heboe Rch., to Pierce Ranch or base of Point Peninsulas Marin Co., Calif. - Land birds seen enroute here are listed with those of "Point Reyes vicinity" above. All were in open, grazed farmland except the few labelled as "in Bishop Pines", which few not saw during a 15 minutes stop therein. The farms here seem far less closely grazed than those toward Point Reyes. There is much brush from knee to waist high in the gullies & even on some quite flat slopes. We saw so many deer while driving along, that we decided to keep a count on the return trip - which spelled [see odoroileus columbianus species out]. Feb. 22 - Walnut Creek, Contra Costa Co., to Livermore, Alameda Co., Calif. 10:15 - 11:15 A.M. - Did bits of birding along the road here & there. Nothing unusual, but see Spinus tristis species account. - SE of Livermore up Arroyo Nocho Canyon (to 14 mi. marker), Alameda Co., Calif. again looked over the country and occasional birds from the roadside. Lots of sycamores in the lower wash, but they seem to have much denser branching than in So. Calif.
