Banks 1959 Journal Apr. 19 Pescadero area San Mateo Co., Calif. - Got up about 6 shot # 16 in the open area at the Ponponia area. Birds wild here now. The day started dark, not foggy, but over- cast. Moved to the Pebble Beach area, got 17+16, a pair. Few birds here, but in a field saw several in what may have been a flock. In mi & Pebble Beach got no. 19. Added the following birds to my list today: flock of Bonaparte Gulls 15-20, flying along coast; Redwing Great Blue Heron, inland near Calif. Trail many Yellowthroats, and Pale-olated Warbler. At Pebble Beach saw flock of 13 plovers (Black-bellied) in winter plumage in freshly seeded field. Too many people & too wild birds - poor shooting today. Left area about 10 am. May 1 Bolinas area, Marin Co., Calif. - Arrived here about 7 AM. The morning was frustrating - birds were scarce, not singing, and very wary. By 8 o'clock had only 2 birds. Drove along Mesa Rd. to Palomarini Nursery, and was refused permission to shoot on their property. This is a religious outfit, and owns 4000 acres. The next big chunk of land back toward Bolinas is owned by R.C.A., leased by
