Boulder Creek. July 16, 17- I saw the hawks which flew ahead of me as I drove down our roadaway (R.R. track). It looked too large for a Sw. Sh. and quite brown on the back, and wings. I think it must be a Cooper- Hawk. The Nutton Vires is still about and an Ash-throated Flycatcher gave this "Tree-dean" note as he flew through the place. A W.W. Warbler sang just below the cottage again. A family of Vigor's Wrens were near the cottage much of the time and I heard the call-note of a House Wren several times. The Her- mit Thrush was heard in the middle of the day. July 17. At Mt.
