Cont. from bottom p.115 - Suisun Marshes trip. The marshes are quite full of water birds. It is a quiet hazy rather warm autumn day and the bird life is not active but we see it here and there. We stir up several of the Shied-Poke, and they rise in heavy flight. Far across the marshes, in a pond, we see a flock of swan, their snow bodies shining brightly in the sun.
