Cogswell 1948 Capella gallinago 2 Nov.27 - Jewell Lake, Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co. NE of Berkeley, Calif. Two were feeding in the open on a muddy point near old boat on west shore. They were unaware or unconcerned of our presence some 200 feet away on open N. end of lake. Dec.5 One was probing in wider muddy area at inlet (South) end of pond. It was feeding thus in the open when we went by on the E shore and still there when we came back by some 20-30 min. later. It was just as unconcerned as those on Nov.27. 1949 Jan.30 - ¼ mi from Muir Beach, along Highway #1, Marin Co., Calif. - A group of 15+ were feeding in very wet pasture. They sank their bills into the mud by a series of short rapid thrusts -- as tho they had to work their way be- tween the grass roots. The dark bars on the flanks showed much more conspicuously below the folded wing than indicated in Peterson's new "Eastern Guide".
