Cogwell 1948 Passerella iliaca 1. Nov. 27 Jewell L. Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co., NE of Berkeley, Calif. Fairly common in brush along w shore and up the slope to the W, judging from number of heavy "tchip" calls heard.

One loss of balance occurred while I watche[d]. 1949 Jan. 30 - Marino Park at Stinson Beach, Marino, Calif. about 5 seen here, mostly in brush tangles along the ditched stream thru the park. One seen at a range of about 8 feet had a very rich brown cast to all the breast spotting[s] which coalesced over the upper breast to form an irregular mass of brown. The bill was dusky gray.
