6641 Savannah Sparrow (female sign) im. 16.7g. Shot in salicornia.
6642 “ “ (female sign) im. 16.8.g. Shot
on stem of clump of juncus.

Was out early 5:15 to 6:30, and again 9:20 to 11:30,
the last time to the beach, the bluff, and the salt flats. Saw
following birds: Turkey Vulture (4+); Poorwill (heard

Cactus Woodpecker (one heard); Say Phoebe (2); Anna
Hummer (2, around blossoming Lycium); Brown Towhee (4+);

Red-winged Blackbird (a pair visited camp, and others in
small companies in flight out in the valley); Raven
(within hearing most of the time); Meadowlark (4 or more,
out in salt flat); Marsh Wren (common, a dozen or more,
in dense mats of Salicornia (unknown 1) sloughs just
back of the cobble-stone beach-barrier (which is fully
8 feet higher than the flats inland from it));
Savannah Sparrow (scattered troupes on open ground
among small bushes back from the salicornia);
Belding and Large-billed Sparrows (on salicornia
marshes, not many, the latter also on beach at
high-tide line of drift); Pipit (flock of 10± on bare alkali flat); Killdeer (one heard - the
only wader, where we saw so many on the beach
when we were here in September); Song
Sparrow (2, in big juncus clumps up the
valley from the salicornia. Of mammals, I saw one Jack Rabbit
