1934 21 Apr. 22 (contin.) At Mission Bridge over Calaveras Creek, Yellowthroat, Redwing, Cliff and Violet-green Swallows. Birds very abundant the rest of the way. Many Yellow Warblers, several Chipping Sparrows heard. Stopped a minute at Alamo bridge where Lazuli Bunting was singing. Dinner with H. P. W. Dunthorpe. He told me he saw Lazuli Bunting in hills. Apr. 23. Rain'd during night. Partly cloudy day. Tolmie Warbler still singing at end of road. Young Blue Jays in nest calling. Heard Russet-backed Thrush in Linforth Yards. April 24. Rain at night. April 25. Clear. Beautiful after the rain. Young Blue jays left the nest. I was awake at dawn but there were no birds singing. Very few sing through the day - The Tolmie Warbler, occasionally a Song Sparrow or Vireo Wren. Spent the morning in Mr. Beales's garden. Saw Golden-crowned Sparrows. Also Lazuli Bunting. Lutescent Warblers were carrying food. No Yellow Warblers or Grosbeaks. Mrs. Saunders reported that at Arroyo Verde on April 15 she saw a pair of Phainopepla, many Orioles and Kingbirds but no Lazuli Bunting. April 27. Beautiful day. Oaks Springs. Two nests of Western Flycatcher - one on side of house several feet below wide eaves fastened to electric wires, no projection of any kind for support. Parent bird came several times to feed young in the nest. Second nest on cross piece at back garage - no eggs. 9:45 - 11:45 a.m.
