Loganell 1948 Journal 5 Oct. 24 (cont.) The hills and fields all being dry and brown, and some even having been burned over, there were few birds except at the ranch houses. One spot where we stopped had a small pool of stagnant water in the creek bed, and here we saw more small birds than at any other place: 5 red-shafted flickers, 1 plain titmouse, a flock of brush tits, and several Zonotrichia leucophrys sp. Red-tailed hawks were exceptionally common all along (see sp. account) at about 2½ mi. SE of Dinole a gray fox (Urocyon cinereo-argentens) trotted across the road, and into a cove filled with brush and rubbish. Upon stopping as quickly as we could the only sign of it was a sliding of small stones & twigs where we assumed it had scrambled up the steep bank & into the chaparral. - San Pablo Reservoir, 300' ft., Contra Costa Co., Calif. We scanned the lake for waterfowl and saw or heard a few land birds incidental to the process. all the water birds were on the upstream 1/3 of the lake except 1 great blue heron flushed from a cove near the dam. Most of the ducks were resting on the far (NE) shore, and only bright males among those could be identified. at the extreme upper end of the lake, all the baldpates and green.
