Abstract

Only McCaskie and Banks (1964) have reported continuous observations at a single station during migration in California. I report here the capture of three common summer resident and four winter resident species during fall 1969 to 1971 at Bolinas, Marin County, California. There is often no direct correlation between the number of birds on the ground and the timing of migration. However, because of the paucity of information about passerine migration in California, I offer these data because they suggest the general timing of common migrants for a three-year period at one location.
