Feb.26. Brilliantly clear and cold with some N.W. wind. We drove to Boulder Creek via Skyline Blvd. from San Francisco. Almost no birds were seen because of the wind. On the return trip we crossed from Alvarado to Dresto passing the same pool we visited on Feb. 23. I counted a hundred Green-winged Teal. With this dry weather the pools are drying up rapidly. Mar.1. Still clear and chilly with N.W. wind. In the afternoon I saw a Western Winter Wren in the upper garden. It dodged the water when I was boring but afterward came into good view. Mar.2. Cold with breeze from north. As I walked down Morwood I heard the notes of Crossbills. They were in the pines above the road and after a moment a flock of twenty-five or thirty rose, calling loudly and circled about then alighted in the big pines at the mouth of the canyon. Mar.4- Green-winged Teal just as numerous at the pond near Alvarado although the pond is smaller. Mar.6. A little rain at last. Nothing but cold north winds since Feb. 26. A Thrasher comes to the table and ate Chick-feed,
