Above pool, in brush in canyon, wren-
tit was found, also a song sparrow. The
song sparrow is normally a creek-side bird,
constantly twitches tail and has a wobbling
flight. - Near Hog Serum Lab; perched in a
death tree down in canyon, saw a red-shafted
flicker. Same locality, black-headed gros-beak.
Coloration similar to that of towhee (spurred).
The two may be distinguished by song, form of
beak and coloration. - Parkman seen seen
fluttering about second univ. cottage. No super-
ciliary stripe. - Same locality, wren-tit. Buzz-
z ing note less staccato than that of g.f.
warbler. - A dry hillside brush feeder. Carries
tail which is about as long as the body,
in a tilted position. - Heard a new call-
notes of the sweet-back thrush, similar
to quail call. The thrush has several
call notes, some of which are detached
bits of its song. - From porch of Univ.
cottage saw a pair of Anna humming
birds, dist. from the Allen by Their larger
size and by the greenish tinge of the plumage
