Mon. Aug. 15 College opens - "Oh, to be in Berkeley now -" !
Sprint day rearranging and drying our outfit. Saw
some Black Swifts, ♀ and a flocr of Baird Sandpipers
which lit around a puddle in the main street. Watched
the Humplack Salmon swimming up the Slicena and
Bulleley rives , every so often they surge to the
surface breaking water with their hump, for all the
world like a Shakes-fir. I prefer humplacks, however.
Saw Gambels Sparrows, Rufous Hummer, but little else.
Many Immigrants seem to have left here, and but few arrived.
Had to listen to many long-winded and pointless stories
at the hands of the Hotel bench-warmers club. Should
a man try to trace down all these stories - "Arctic
ducks" ; Reel, saw-dust eating, birds; "wild canaries"
etc. he'd grow violently insane instantly.
Tues. Aug. 16. Cloudy all day, but marvel of marvels !

ranch on the Kriapiox (23 mi. n. where we were), and
arrived in time to get settled for the night. All day !!!

Song Sparrow - some list !
