1934 19 I went down and threw a stone into the Cough where they nest each year. A Blue jay flew out. Fox Sparrow singing. Golden- crowned Sparrows bathing. Took down feeding table. Hung ground and Cocoa- mat shell with canary seed in railing. Apr.14. Grosbeak singing near house (first time) Apr. 14. At Saratoga I heard my first Yellow Warbler for this season. Young Anna-Hummers were feeding in the Yellow Jasmine bush. A Grosbeak was singing. Apr.16. Drove home from Boulder Creek via Skyline Blvd. where we heard several Chip- fling Sparrows - the first I have heard this spring. As we crossed the bay we watched for Bonaparte Gulls but only three were seen at the east end of the pier. Later Mrs. Ferguson told me they were very abundant at Dumb- barlon Bridge April 14. April 17. A flock of brush tits went thro' the garden. I could detect no notes of very young birds. A Blue jay dashed at them several times. No sound of any birds from Virgin Wren nest - though I kept my eye on it several times. Not yet brooding? (Deserts. Killing spray?) April 18. Very foggy a.m. Many birds singing at 4:20 a.m. Virgin Wren, Song Sparrow, Thrush, Golden-crowned Sparrow, Grosbeak. Fox Sparrow still here.
