May 11
cont'd. general seen in the brush; Spotted
Towhee, 1 in the brush; Flicker, heard
several times from a distance; Hairy

deal Yellow Pine; Chipping Sparrow,
common in brush along the stream and
up in the small Yellow Pines; Lewis

In the afternoon went up on the hill
in the oaks. They shot a Slender-Billed
Nuthatch. A new bird seen there was
the Black-Throated Gray Warbler. Visited
gopher traps again but had caught no
gophers.
May 12. Took in gopher traps this morning. Caught one & in the 11 traps. Shot a
White-Crowned Sparrow, the first seen
or heard, in the Ceanothus on the hill
& the E of us. A new bird seen this
morning was a Wren (Vigors?) which was
singing lustily from a Crataegus douglasii.
I couldn't approach close enough to
identify the bird other than as a wren.
