Nov. 14 Rodeo Valley, Rodeo Lagoon, Fort Barry, 300'
60', Marin Co., Calif. - with my wife & son
(and about 30 others) went on the field trip
of the Audubon Association of the Pacific.
We left the cars at the West Portal of the
tunnel from the main gate to Fort Barry,
and walked along the base of hills to the
north of upper "Rodeo" Valley, varying over
coverage between hill slopes with dried
up weeds, grasses and the damp (even
marshy) areas in little valley below. A
short stretch of willows was passed near
the inland end of the lagoon. A fairly careful
count was kept enroute here, and an
estimate of all birds seen on or near the
lagoon was made after circling it.
Weather was cloudy, with a little mist
on ocean shore. Temperature about 50-55° F.
Wind not over about 5 to 10 m.p.h. except right
on the beach.
Following is a list of the birds as recorded
on a field card enroute, the 4 columns indi-
cating a rough separation for the different
habitats covered. Roman numerals indicate
estimated numbers.
Entries made in species accounts for those
names followed by *.
