March. 1921. Berkeley: Warring and Prospect. It was feeding on Cralegno berries. It sang a whisper song in a tree very near me. I thought at first that it was a Purple finch but as I listened it seemed different. After finding it, it continued singing at intervals for half an hour stopping in different trees as I went up the hill, lighting on the electric wire over the street and finally disappearing over Mrs. Torcey's house. Saw and heard my first Lutescent warbler for the year. Saw a strange flycatcher which I could not identify. Creepers heard near library (U.C.) March 15. North Forty. Bulbs in breeding plumage. Saw Western Grebe and Rared, Grebe. Townsend Solitaire still feeding in Cralegno bush. Lutescent Warbler seen again. Cold. March 11. Golden-crowned Kinglets, Varied Thrushes seen. Allen Hummers abundant. Horse man in N. Berkeley again. March 12. Showers. Warmer. March 13. Lutescent warblers singing in the garden. Showers.
