Howell, T.R. 1950 Journal 3 mi. S. of Calipatria - 180 ft., Imperial Co., Calif. April 6. - I visited the Game Refuge here briefly between 12:30 and 1:15 P.M. The weather was clear and hot. In the pond near the headquarters I saw a few coots and two Black-necked Stilts. Red-wings were very conspicuous, especially singing, displaying males. Two Western Kingbirds were nearby and noisy. In a clump of willows along a ditch I saw Pileolated Warblers (2-3), Audubon Warblers (many - spring plumage), Orange-crowned Warbler (1), Bullock Oriole (1♂), Gila Woodpecker (at least 1♀), White-crowned Sparrow (numerous), Mourning Dove (several pairs), Western Flycatchers (presumably - several), and a number of Abert Towhees.
