paper; 1936 25', W. side El Cerrito Knoll, Albany, Alameda Co., Calif. Jan. 22, 1936 In company with D. H. Johnsons F. G. Palmer, I made a short trip out to the Tidelands and hillsides west of El Cerrito Knoll this morning. This Knoll is a monadnock-like hill that rises from the low-lying Bay shore and the low Berkeley foothills. The vegetation includes Eucalyptus, Baccharis, fellers tease and numerous kinds of annual grasses. Along the Tidelands in the Salicornia I noted pipits, audubon warblers, and English sparrows. Among the Baccharis & tease song sparrows, white-crowned sparrows, juncos anna hummingbirds, English sparrows, house finches. On the grass-covered hillsides & flat areas meadow larks were heard. A kingfisher was seen sitting on a telegraph wire, where it was uttering its more common call. A red-shafted flicker was noted as it flew from one Eucalyptus tree to another. A red-tailed hawk soared up above the tops of the "gum" trees.
