habit were noted. The flycatcher's habit
of dipping the tail and constantly turning
head from side to side were observed.
The somewhat plaintive note of the fly-
catcher resembles that of its near
relative, the wood-fewee. The russet-
backed thrush was seen high up in
a dead willow tree. Song and marking,
especially the [illegible] grayish breast with
dark spots were noted.
Near the dairy barns, a pair of
plain titmice were seen. It was
observed that they usually forage in pairs,
and that they in common with all titmice
were crested. They are very restless in
manner. - Saw a bird on fence, found
it to be a California jay in juvenal plumage.
In underbrush near small bridge,
above dairy barns, found a pair of
golden piletolated warblers: to be distin-
quished from other warblers, by the
black patch on the crown, and the song
which is in monotone.
