76 1935 Lake Tahoe May 30. Everything decorated with white this a.m. and still snowing but most of it melts as soon as it touches the ground. Fox Sparrow, Green-tailed Towhee and Mt. White-crowned Sparrow came to porch asking for bread crumbs. No rain during afternoon. all snow melts. Went to see Ducks on the rocks at east end of Hamlin place - Found two pairs of Am. Mergansers. Found Wright Flycatcher near Hamlin Gate and Tolema Warbler in marsh. At 8 p.m. as we drove into the Ponderosa we heard a Poor Will calling close by. May 31. Almost entirely clean. Beautiful reflection of the mountains in the calm water. A few Cedar Warblers in the Pines in front of the cottage. Seemed very quiet as if resting after a long flight. Once in a long while one would dart out and catch an insect or drop to the ground under a margarita. At 1 p.m. four birds flit out but one was seen in the same tree at 5:36 p.m. Drove to the Fletcher Place in afternoon. Found Hermit Thrush singing near Rubicon Pt. and a Lincoln Sparrow near the Tavern. Two Poor Will's calling near Hamlin in evening. Trail Flycatcher in willows June 1. Drove to Carson City then to Reno where we lunch. then a few miles south of Minden. Stopped half an hour in the sage on the hillside below the junction of Clear Creek road & Carson road where many Brewer Sparrows were singing. Returned to Glenbrook for dinner. Saw or heard 56 species, two new to me: The Sage Thrasher and Brewer Sparrow. The Sage Thrasher flew from the fence as we drove by. It showed white spots in the tail as I stopped to look at it. It had nest or young in sage nest & fence. At least it left a twig there and returned several times to the spot. We could not find a nest.
