12 June Yosemite Nat. Park to Berkeley, Calif. Cowbirds out in the meadows. Then went to Glacier Pt for breakfast, and out to look for Blue Grosbees on the Trail to Tuolumne foot. Didn't hear any, but a male was feeling along the trail and we got quite close to him. Only one Solitaire here, when last year there were half a dozen or more. Not much else about. Went back & stopped by Pinegoy again. In the woods along the edge I glanced a woodpecker riddled tree and noticed a hole with an old center. I approached to discover a small owl peering out at me, an eventually the [illegible] Owl came out and flew off. From Pinegoy we went back to Crane Flats, where we saw the pair of Pileated Woodpeckers but little else of note. We then went up to White Wolf to look for Pine Grosbeaks but were unable to find any. Lots of Cassin Finches and most of the small Insectivorous birds appear to be in, but were not very vocal. We stopped again at Tuolumne Mews, but didn't see much there. Again this area is almost entirely free of Snow. We went on over Tioga Pass and stopped a while near Mono Lake, then went on to Tahoe. Rainng at Tahoe. Spent the night here, then caught a bus home in the A.M.
