1934 1 January. Very little cold weather - no frosts in our garden and very seldom any frost across the canyon. Many spring- life days. The Anna Hummingbird has come con- stantly to the Red-hot Poker Plants on the street-line above the house and on Jan. 25 I saw one come to a test-tube feeder filled with sugar-syrup which I had fastened to the honey-dickle at the front door. Hard barn owls calling several evenings 3rd week Jan. Jan. 27. Dr. Grinnell brought his class to watch birds through the windows. Weather warm, clear. Section 1, 8:20-10 a.m. Section 2, 10-11:40 a.m. Birds came quite continuously. Calif. Quail - a flock of about 21, one Laura- Calif. Blue Jay - came repeatedly. Carries off sunflower seeds, 8 or 10 at a time. Buried most of them. Fox Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Brown Thrasher, Juncoo came repeatedly for food. Titmouse too. Robin, Varied Thrush, and Thrasher came to pool for water and Unidentified and Spotted Towhee were seen several times near the table. The Upsetted Turkey comes at the table less frequently than in past years. Golden-crowned Sparrows were singing just above the pool but were not seen. One hummingbird buzzed near the table. Those on front row said it showed rusty color.
