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. In the afternoon we went to the West
Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz 5-6 p.m. The next
day we visited the Santa Cruz Big Tree Grove
then drove back to Berkeley after 3 p.m.
