12 The only winter visitants seen were Varied Thrushes at Camp Newell. W. Robin at Boulder Creek (town). Watched a female Harris Woodpecker hammering at bark of older where the wood was rotten. April 2. Berkeley. Chilly. Clear. Varied Thrush and Hermit Thrush came to pool. As I came home at noon, a Wren was singing an unusual song— two single notes followed by a trill. The trill was very loud and emphatic—not like the ordinary ending of either familiar song. He was perched in the brush above the road and west of the steps. He was an- swered by the wren that has a nest in the box by our front door—at least from near the nest. Fox Sparrow heard in early morning. Heard jointly the songs of Townsend and Audubon Warbler. No flock of juncos noticed. April 3. Chilly north wind. Very few birds noticed. Saw Hermit Thrush bathing. In Claremont Hotel grounds, where I stopped in the car a few minutes to listen, I heard Warbling Vireo, Song Sparrow, Bushtit and Dusky. April 4. Flock of G.C. Sparrows. April 5. Clear, warmer. No wind. Winter birds: Hermit and Varied Thrushes, Juncos, Fox Sparrows, G.C. Sparrows, Alder Warbler. Heard Tolmie Warbler. U.C. spraying trees. I gave talk on birds at the church. Stratton children, brought me a dead Pileated Warbler to identify.
