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.
