1950.
Hylocichla ustulata
July 17. Univ. Calif. Campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Completely overcast (high fog) and cool throughout day.
At 10:30 am. Three thrushes along Strawberry Creek W.
of Life Sciences Bldg. were singing full songs ('trill effect')
At least 3 others were [illegible] (single notes) in the
same area.
July 20. Sun breaking through thin cover of high fog - two thrushes
singing sporadically in area outlined above 10:05-10:10 am.
July 22. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co., Calif. I was in area from
pool to point S of Botanic Garden where road crosses creek
from 3:00 pm to 4:45 - single call notes of thrushes
heard but no full songs.
July 25. Univ. Calif. Campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. For the
second consecutive day I missed hearing calls of this species.
I walked along creek S of Life Sci. Bldg. 6:15-6:30 # weather
[illegible] heard this thrush. (Overcast throughout day)
Aug 1. This morning (9:40-10:40) I noted several Swainson Thrushes
along creek & edge of eucalyptus grove W of Life Sci Bldg.
On several occasions (single) call notes were given. Although
I saw & heard this thrush in the canyon on July 22,
28, & 30, I have neither seen nor heard it on the
lower campus since July 23. total [illegible] or
migratory influx?
I heard one calling from Buckeye N of Museum at 7:40 pm.
Aug 2. Thrush calling where W branch of creek goes underground
(N of Life Sci Bldg) at 5:10 pm. If this species was here last
week, it was unusually silent. - Individuals up the
canyon were calling intermittently when I was up there (see above)
