Cogswell 1950 Journal 3 Jan. 30. Pomona, L.A. Co., to Berkeley, Alameda Co. Calif. after spending all [?]/day, & this a.m. house hunting in Pomona (a Sunday resting up), we drove home this p.m. via the "Ridge Route" (US 99), watching for Condors carefully where Carl Koford told me they fly across - I.E., between Gorman and Tebec (see species acct of Condor?). Other birds noted in Tejon Pass area were 4 Ravens, 1 Red-tailed Hawk, and one unidentified hawk or eagle. There was still snow in patches on the Nard E slopes above 3800 ft. and the temperature was C-O-L-D. Feb. 5 West Sacramento along east side of Yolo Basin, Yolo Co. Met Dr. R. L. Taylor, Arnold Small, Ralph Mall, Bob Dyle, and "Sig" M. S. Dunlap - all up from the L.A. area - in Sacramento for break- fast; and then amid intermittent heavy showers we surveyed roadsides for birds here. We attempted to reach Washington Lake, but the road was too muddy. However there were several flocks of geese down in the flat fields now green with new herb growth & with water standing in all low spots. The geese (were several thousand) were almost entirely Lesser Canadas," with smaller flocks of white-fronted on their margins. Many more dark geese were seen in flight in the distance. South along the road leading toward Courtland [?] th whole basin was flooded with muddy water as far as one could see to the W of the levee
