1934. 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.
