Berkeley, D.C. 1956 Journal 24 Apr. 12 Meth Church Parking Lot near campus - tried to record young of nest D about 0745. They wouldn't make a sound when I held mike over them. Parent birds very disturbed. Propped mike in bush near nest, in hopes that parent birds would feed and I would get that sound. A lot of outside noise - traffic, radio, wind, airplanes, etc Ran tape for about 40 minutes. Didn't get anything. Banded young and removed an infertile egg. 13 Apr. E. side Trinity Church Parking Lot, Berkeley. nest D - Recording from about 0645 to 0730. Using Museum truck, microphone, Crescent 7 1/2 ips. recorder, and Shure model 76B crystal lapel mike. The mike is about 6-8 inches from the nest. I am sitting in truck watching Sea species account (Zonotrichia leucophrys) This way I can watch controls and not waste tape. 14 Apr. Left Berkeley at 1500 with Dr.+ Mrs. Miller and Bill Hamilton. Very cloudy, cool, rained some on the way. Sun was out briefly around Monterey. Saw what may have been a White-tailed Kite. Saw 2 deer as we neared Hastings Reservation Arrived Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co. at about 2030 hrs. Turned in about 2230hrs.
