1904. For a summer trip we went by May 27 train to Modesto intending to buy there two donkeys. We succeeded in finding only one with the aid of Mr. Wm Crittenden. James and I both started out in the late afternoon but the weather was so very hot that I backed out. We walked about four miles to a deserted ranch house where we left our pack and returned to Modesto for the night. We noticed great numbers of Morning Doves and Crisles about the deserted ranch house. The next morning James started out early by himself to make the trip to Chinese Camp where I

1904. I met James at Chinese Camp and we walked from there together to Crocker's. A donkey carries the pack. Only first identifications (with a few exceptions) were recorded. Lawrence Goldfinch - Big Creek, June Lark Finch - Common thro' foothills. Phainopepla - Several seen near Hughes which is in much the same zone as Vallecito where we found them last year. Black-Throated Gray Warblers were seen from Big Oak Flat on. Canyon Wrens were singing at Hardins - They were nesting in a deserted house. Linnets were about every settlement but were seldom seen between:

1964- June-Crockers' (Sequola B.Q.) We establishes a permanent camp at Crockers. Mr. and Mrs. Buck- hams and family established camp nearby. Prof. and Mrs. Richardson were at the Inn. Also Dr. Bacon and Dr. McCallum. I found about sixty birds near Crockers but records seem to have dis- appeared. First identifications follow: Red-tailed Hawk Bald Eagle. Haindner's Woodpecker Clire-sided Flycatcher (see note fol.) Blue-fronted Jay. Pine Siskin Bank Swallow - Tuolumne River Buz Cassin's Vireo-abundant (song-note)

1904. June - Crofters (Seguona P.Q.) Mac Gillivray Warbler Water Ouzel - Tolumne River Audubon Hermit Thrush - Heard. Purple Finches were abundant and in full song. The Olive-sided Flycatcher had two perches near our camp. On one, he always gave the call: pee-hee. On the other: pu-pip, pu-pip-pip. I thought at first that it must be two different birds as I never found him interchanging the Calls on the separate perches nor combining both on the Same perch. After I came back to Berkeley, I found one bird giving both calls.

1904, June - Crockers (Saguia) Cassin's Vireo was very abundant. Its song sounds something as if it were saying - "Mamie, Mamie, Come here, quick" and when repeated every few minutes grew rather monotonous. We had a splendid opportunity to compare the songs of the Black- headed Grosbeak and Robin, both of which has nests near by. Unless one could distinguish the thrush quality in the robin's song it would be difficult to be sure always which was which. (Fuller notes found later given on odd pages back.)

About ten o'clock I took the little bird in my hand, into the garden to find food when I heard a flock of brush-tits in the oak tree near by. They began to answer the calls of the bird in my hand, as I put him down on the wall and retired

1968 Apr. 16 (contini) behind a lattice. The parents of the other birds began im- mediately to bring food to the little orphan. But the day was cold and rainy and the little bird evidently misses the warmth of my hand. I put the bird in a protected place on a hot water, and revived him from sort of a stupor. Again the adopted parents returned but it was in vain. After school the children again began to feed it large worms they found on some weeds near by. When I returned from an afternoon engagement the bird was dead.
