Box near a second story window (S.) and
one pair took possession. The female
began immediately & carry in sticks.
James thinks he has heard an owl in
thime at night. A Spotted Towhee
sings constantly from the bingle west
of the house and I suspect a Caly Jay
has a nest near the kitchen window.
A Tolmie Warbler sings occasionally
at the end of Moonwood Road but I seldom
hear either the Paleolated or Lutescent
Warbler - usually abundant here.
On April 20 both the Hermit Thrush
and Fox Sparrow were there. Robins very
familiar in the garden, picking up worms.
April 22. Boulder Creek. Cloudy, damp - at
6:30 p.m a Purset-Voiced Thrush began
to call in the redwoods back of the cottage.
A little later James heard it sing - Harris Wood
perch and near the dead willows when it nests.
April 23. Cloudy all the morning - Baking.
Birds singing: Western Flycatcher, Black-
Throated Gray and Paleolated Warblers, Warbling
and Cassin Vireos, (Olive-sided) Flycatcher,
Erosbeak. Calls: Kingfisher, Chuckadeer,
Bushtits, Hummingbird (sp.?), P.D. Thrush,
Spotted Towhee. Quite a chorus at dawn.
April 25 - Barkley
Clear with cool breeze. I heard
Towhees Warblers. Bluejays building
a nest in oak tree north of house.
House Wrens seem to have left the Flicker
box. Saw female go into Titmouse box (belostrous)
