Primitive Area, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Oct. 17, This is a bright, sunshiny morning as was yesterday. Entered primitive area 10:14. Calif. Thrasher seen about 50 yds NE of creek at Strawberry Creek. 8 Anna Hummer near same spot.—“Savor- grinding.” In middle of area I saw a S-shining Hawk being chased by a humming bird (Anna). It took ½ hour to go from the west fence to the east fence of the area by way of the lower trail. There was noticeably more bird life near the west side of the area then near the east. I can see no apparent reason for this however. Due to lack of time I was only able to make a count of the birds along the lower path. This count was made between 10:14 and 10:45 A.M. There were more birds observed near the west fence of the area than near the east fence. The birds observed are as follows: Junco 3; Cal. Jay 5; Stellar Jay 1; Anna Hummer 1; Spotted Towhee 2; Brown Towhee 1; Calif. Thrasher 1; Song Sparrow 1; Wren-tit 3; Sparrow Hawk 1; Bewick Wren 2; Sharp- shinned Hawk 1; Flicher 4; Cooper Hawk 1;
