April 6 - Beginning of Easter Holiday. We took a day's trip to Clear Lake and back. Perfect weather. After we passed the summit of the pass over Mt. St. Helena we found dogwood in bloom. Noticed also a Couper and a shrub. As we neared the Lake Co. boundary Redbird was in full bloom and looked very beau- tiful among the many spring shades of green - also against the blue sky. It was very abundant on the slopes as we came to the lake. We stopped for lunch on the Lake Shore and in the cattails there was a pair of Yellow-headed Blackbirds - possibly two pairs - Also Redwings, Tree Swallows and Lewis Woodpeckers. Western Grebes were calling.
