81 June 15. A few Carpian Terns and one Gull seen at Drumbarton Bridge. June 16. Boulder Creek. Black-throated Gray Warbler singing. P.T. Thrush sometimes sings the usual song of the species - sometimes the Canyon Wren combination. June 18-21. Beautiful weather in Berkeley. Heard Olive-sided Flycatcher from house. June 21. Saw thrasher feeding a young bird - full grown but bill short. Young bird made a few digging motions. June 22. Sany Pool will on Sand Hill road. Black Thr. Gray Warbler? June 25. A brood of about 25 baby quail was seen near the pool. Noticed a quererly call of the parent (male?) used several times. Other birds heard near by, which have only been heard in the distance during the past months were: Black Phoebe and Lazuli Bunting. June 27. Lady Birds went to Boulder Creek. Stopped at Miles nursery where we saw the Mockingbird; one also near Mission San Jose. Went over to Alma Rock Park, where we found Dotted Canyon Wrens - this pair seemed to have a nest among the rocks under the roots of a tree just above a very rocky stream bed. The female (?) kept creeping about disappearing frequently into the cavity under the roots. When we finally approached the site she flew under a water tank and the song of the male was heard twice. At the entrance to the park a pair was busy high up among the rocks of the precipitous hill; seemed to be feeding young out of the nest. Other birds seen there - Mourning Doves, Stellar
