Up at 0500. Had breakfast as it was getting light. Hard
to hear Five-stripped Sparrows singing as their voice has
little volume is easily drowned out by Varied Buntings,
Brown Towhees, + others singing nearby. Into field.
Found 2 family groups of Five-stripes. One had 2
adults + at least three young. Also collected a ? which
had a hard-shelled egg in oviduct. MacGillivray Warblers,
Black-headed Grosbeaks + Painted Buntings are common

5 juveniles so decided to plupare birds + leave for
