Mar. 23. Bird Lore Trip to Cordovices Park. Cloudy but
not cold. Birds were very abundant. We follow
up the little stream to Tawalpais Rd., then crossed
the road to a brushy area above. Birds seen:
Quail, Anna and Allen (?). Hummingbirds, Flicker, Calif
Jay, W. Flycatcher (first time this spring), Warbling Vireo,
Townsend Warbler (singing), Lutescent Warbler, Vigos
Wren, Wrentit; Bush-tit (battling) (also carrying willow
down), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (singing), W. Robin, Varied
Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Purple Finch, Linnet, G-b. Gold
finch, Brown & Spotted Towhee, Junco, Nuttall
Pugit Sourd, Gambel, Golden-crowned, Fox and
Song Sparrow.
March 25: Partly cloudy. A flock of golden-crowned
Sparrows came to bathe - only one in full
plumage seen. At the same time several Town-
send Warblers were singing in the oaks above the
post. Flocks of juncos are still present. All feed
on worms in the oaks. Sharp-shinned Hawk heard
again.
March 26: Partly cloudy. Spent the morning cleaning the
attic. With the windows open I could hear all
the birds singing. They were feeding on the small
worms (1/2 in. long?) in the live oak trees. Juncos
were numerous and singing their quick little song
(flock song?). no trills. Many Townsend Warblers were
there singing continuously. A few Audubon Warblers
were singing like I can't say in full summer pleas-
age. There were singing all the morning. Occasional
songs were heard from the Thrasher, Vigos Wren,
Golden-crowned Sparrow, Fox & Sparrow.
