Alameda South Shore in September

From: Larry Tunstall
Lillian Fujii has passed along to me some reports from Golden Gate Audubon Society fieldtrips. Although these are from months ago, I'll post them here so that the information will be in a form available to anyone who wants to use it. Once again, I'd like to urge everyone to report counts or lists from fieldtrips or personal outings. As Steve Glover has pointed out, frequent samplings of even the common species can be of great use to present and future researchers.

Arrowhead Marsh in November

From: Larry Tunstall
Another in the series of reports on old Golden Gate Audubon Society fieldtrips. This trip included the newly restored marsh south of the old Arrowhead Marsh - the one that Joseph Morlan has suggested calling Erstwhile Marsh, using Elsie Roemer's old informal term from the days before it was filled.
