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.
