Coswell 1949 Journal 133 Dec. 11 - Hustine Land & cattle Co., 90 ft., 3 mi. SE Hustine, Merced Co., Calif. after breakfast (about 7 a.m. ?) we all piled into the subur- barn & drove N from the corral, then back & E. to end of country road [fields dry beyond this gun club's border] & back, going then south and then north along the eastern border of the Hustine L. & C. Co. lands. At the north we reached the Hustine Merced paved road. Came back to club hdy. & had lunch, then drove off to the SW of the hdq., along a winding road which leads past the best ponds of all. Water seems keeper in some & is bordered by more definite marshes which are apparently permanent. Best of the area is apparently flooded for the duck season only. There are very few trees (small willows) anywhere on these lands. At the extreme southern end of the property I walked out onto a tripled shrubland flat - but saw only white-crowned sparrows. A species list of the birds seen this a.m. & early p.m. on the Hustine L. & C. Co. lands & vicinity follows, in combination with those seen from the car as we toured the N & E parts of the: Los Banos State Game Refuge, 10 mi. further SSE. Left there about 4:15 p.m.
