1924. Dec. 13. Rain. Jan. 29. 1924. Only one or two showers since Dec. 13, not enough to make the hills really green yet. Clean dry weather with an occasional strong north wind has prevailed. The Intermediate and Golden-crowned Sparrows are seldom seen or heard in the Canyon. One Golden-crown only was heard singing in "Sunny Gulch" on Dec. 19. No banded Winter visitors were detected on the feeding table till Jan. 23. when a banded Fox Sparrow came repeatedly. I put out my trap and took one S.F. Tovbee (which died in my hand), one Fox Sparrow (put on band no. 55040) and one Song Sp. (no. 55036) banded Mar. 19, 1923. Have been pouring melted fat over food on table. Vagos: Warblers occasionally forage. Jan. 24. Golden-crowned Knights in the make of a very large flock of brush tits - Several Ruby-crowned Knights in aggregation.
