Banks 1959 Journal S. May 1 Bolinas area, Marin Co., Calif. Snowy Egret, Dowitcher, Horn, Killdeer, Coot, American Merganser, and a few other things, incl. a Goldeneye. Also, in the RCA area, found skeleton of a spine-bird deer, of which I brought the skull back. May 8 Trip to Mendocino Co. Coast - Left Bodega about 8pm. Today, Fri. Drove Rt. 101 to Cloverdale, then 128 to the coast. Slept at midnight in Redwoods just a few miles beyond Navarro. Up at 6, heard Brown Creeper, Western Flycatcher, Hermit Thrush, Russet-backed Thrush, Song Sparrow, and a Piledated Woodpecker. Got on Rt. 1, Coast Highway, just S of Albion. Saw a White- crowned Sparrow very soon - then no more till Mendocino (city). Since my interest in this trip is in White-crowns, most of my notes on vegetation, etc., will be under that species. Stayed at Russian Ranch State Park, N of Mendocino, to look + eat + catch up on notes. Very windy ever since I left home, except in the Redwoods. Have seen a number of Turkey Vultures, gulls, and Calif Junail here at the park. Drove north with a variety of stops. Goldfinches and Song Sparrows common, saw 1 Vanq Swift, Harris
