Jan. 15. Heavy tule fog filled the whole valley as far as Saratoga, and from there over the mountains clouds were thick. We stayed for lunch at the cottage, and returned in the afternoon. I saw Varied Thrushes and heard a large flock of mistle thrushes on the places; skunkwise birds were just - berries gone. On the way home we took the Sweet road. On each side of Dublin I saw huge flocks of crowned sparrows by the roadside. Jan. 16. Clear and warm again. Jan 17. Song Sparrows are singing again. Many juncos come for food and robins are nu- murous; sometimes come to battle. Jan. 19. I walked down to Telegraph Ave and Mrs. Kelly I noticed song sparrows in full song reported at in several places. In each case two two birds were within hearing of each other, each apparently holding his own territory. Jan. 20 Colder, Cloudy Jan. 21 East wind but clouds clearing away - We drove to Boulder Creek for the day only. It grew warmer and clearer and by 2 p.m. The Sun was shining brightly and it was warm. It strikes inside the Rose Wells now. Birds on the place were abundant as we drove in; robins, Varied Thrushes, Hermit Thrushes, Chickadees, juncos, Hutton Vireos. We found leaf buds on the dogwoods we brought down from Alta. Nov. 6. On the way home
