JOURNAL BELOW GRIZZLY PEAK NEAR BERKELEY, ALAMEDA CO., CALIF. JAN 29 LEFT THE BIKE AT "I" HOUSE @1:05PM WALKED UP TO JUST BELOW BOTANICAL GARDENS WHERE I TOOK A WIDE PATH (FREEWAY) TO SOUTH-EAST OF CANYON ROAD. CLEARLY COOL BUT MUDDY STILL. FLUSHED A GREAT HORNED OWL ABOUT 200 YDS UP PATH. ALSO SAW SHARP SHINING HAWK NEAR SAME PLACE. SOME KIND OF LILY OR GRASS (WITH 4" BULB + ROOTS BENEATH) HAD BEEN EATEN OFF 1" ABOVE THE GROUND. MAYBE HAD BEEN EATEN OFF CLOSER AND GROWN OUT MORE. HEARD OWLS(?) HOOTING ABOUT 2:00 PM WHOO-HOO- - SLOWLY & RATHER SOFTLY - NOT MOURNING DOVES BUT MAYBE BAND-TAILED PIGEONS - I DON'T KNOW BUT STILL THINK OWLS. SAW A FLOCK OF PIGEONS FLYING OVER - DIDN'T SEEM LIKE ROCK DOVES AT ALL SO I FIGURED BAND-TAILED - A NEW ONE FOR ME IF THEY WERE. MANY TUNNELS COULD BE SEEN ALONG PATH WHERE PARTS OF ROAD HAD DROPPED IN - SOME FRESH MOUNDS WITH "PLUG" IN OPENING LIKE RAVINE WORKINGS. 1 MOLE TUNNEL (RAISED) RUNNING ACROSS ROAD AT HEAD OF CANYON. 3 OR 4 OWL PERCHES (2-3" LONG) ON ROADSIDE UNDER "WHITE WASH" ROASTING TREE, HAD SOME 2-3" BONES & / ROOTS MOLARCO MANDBIBLE HALF. DEER(?) TREADS, ALSO PASSUMS ON MOODY ROAD.
