few birds. House View was but only bird singing constantly: Blackbirds, 1pr. of orioles, a junco, a Wood Pewer, a Nuttall woodpecker, Calif. Wood- peckers, a Titmouse, a Slender-billed Nithatch and Junco were all I could find. Water was almost a minute quantity in the creek bed; which may account for the difference. There were many more birds at Saramap Station where several pairs of Thrushes were building nests and Robins and a Clipping Sparrow were added to the list. At Haberland's Bee Ranch we saw also a Black Phoebe, and W. Flycatcher, Wood Pewer and heard the Lazuli Bunting - the only place we heard one. Cool, partly foggy. In Berkeley at 4 p.m. a Nuttall Vireo was Calling loudly. It was interesting that in Contra Costa County we found Robins (at Saramap and Bee Ranch), Juncos (at Reliez Valley & Saramap) and Coast Jay (near Ninis Station) - among the breeding birds. May 9. Cloudy, cool. The Lady Birds drove to Clear Lake. In the marsh near Vallejo's we saw some Greater Yellowlegs. At Napa Asylum I noticed a Robin on the lawn. We went up the East side of the Napa Valley over the Silverado Trail. We stopped at the usual place (two bridges) east of Napa where birds were very abundant: Buzzard, Black Phoebe, W. Flycatcher, V. g. Swallows, Slender-billed Nithatch, Titmouse, Rusty-backed Thrush (whitite); Lutescent
