Saw a Calif. jay in top of dead willow
Tree feeding young. The food call of young
as well as the appearance of its juvenile plu-
mage were observed. - Observed a pair of
Intercent warblers foraging in terminal
foliage of a live oak in canyon. Seemed
to be feeding young. They hop along, working
up the branches, sometimes almost upside
down. - Pileated warbler heard near Dairy
Barn. Brown towhee also in same locality.
Near Swimming Pool, spurred towhee was located
in a laurel. Call note similar to that of jay.
Saw a purple finch. - Distinguishing characters,
purple head and throat, no streaking on breast,
amarginate tail. Heard thrasher across
canyon on hillside. Several linnets were
seen in flight. Their flight is swifter than
That of the goldfinches, with less dipping.
Heard quail; two calls "the "all's well"
and the "come right home". - Spurred towhees
seen and heard in live oaks near swim-
m ing pool. - The slow, intermittent
flight of a brown towhee was observed.
