The two House Wrens sing constantly, one above the house, the other near the lower box - Both established with mates. May 13,14 Boulder Creek. Birds abundant; a good chorus at dawn but the Thrush hardly sings at all. In the late p.m. (May 13) we drove up the Bear Creek Road to the summit. There I saw a Hawk in the same plumage (white chest, dark belly) as the one seen March 19 but it had a red tail this time. We watched the fog come in from Santa Cruz and also from Big Basin until it filled the whole valley, the top of Ben Lomond Mt. Clear. May 15,16. Three members of the Fletcher group met with me to Boulder Creek. From Berkeley we went via Mt. Bolivar, Haywards, Valle Vista, Alvarado, Dumbarton Bridge, Mt. View March Bavaloga.
