Cogswell 1948 Journal 29 Dec.20 (p.2) angle of about 40° and runs SE along, between extensive gem club grounds. We drove down it for a mile or more and back, looking for ducks & shorebirds, mostly from the car. There is plenty of water here; but very few ducks. I have a feeling the water has only been here since the rains of a few days ago, and the ducks do not yet find abundant food in it. If this is not the case, the duck population is way, way down, judging from what I have heard of "normal" conditions at Los Baños. We also checked some other ponds further E along route 33 (but W. of Dos Palos). Following is an estimate of waterfowl numbers, by species, which we saw in about 1 mile along the dirt road & 3-4 miles along route 33: White Pelican - 10 Badwall 20 Great Blue Heron 3 Shorelter 1000 Com. Egret 7 Black Sallinule 2 Snow Goose 1300 Am. loot 3500 (in 2 flocks on ground Kilddcer 2 about 5 mi. E. Los Baños) Long-billed curlew 4 Mallard 1 Greater Yellow-leps 3 Cinnamon Teal 2+ Least Sandpiper 15 Green-winged Teal 100 Dowittler 80 Pintail 15 Shell (Cal. or Dwy. B.) 3+ Baldpatc 2&
