northatch weed rally to the E. Sun is
shining thru the fog now but it is still
quite thick. Extreme calling from Bay
Laurel on W side of ridge. Flock of
jays (~10) feeding in live oaks on W
side of ridge. Flickers wings are making
loud playing or "whooshing" as they beat.
Fog is burning off slightly & can now see
the lower road (beady to party area)
from the ridge. Heard a human fly by.
I also think I've been hearing the gurgle
g of a California Thrasher. The birds are
becoming more vocce now at 9:46 am.
11:26 am caught ~10 Golden-crowned
sparrows at Mulbery Bush when I ran to
get N-S over old well. Sun has burnt
off fog except for around hilltops. Didn't
think seen fogsy underneath Mulbery
bush; all the Golden-crowns popped
yellow-green
