almond trees in bloom. Juncos, Robins and Thrushes
were very abundant. Berries which have
been over abundant are beginning to die.
apparent there were enough left in the
old live place to attract many robins,
Varied Thrushes and Hermit Thrushes. There
were crowned Sparrows there too but more
singing. One Anna Hummingbird (male) was
at the usual spot on the wires near the
pipe which carries water across the road.
I heard a Grackle note but only when
a Thrasher was singing and > suspect it
was an imitation. A Spotted Towhee ended
its soft trill several times with a note like
that of a Western Flycatcher. One pair of
Bush Tits was very busy in the cypress tree
at the corner of Mrs. Panies lot but > could
not detect a nest. One flock of Bush Tits was
seen. Song Sparrows were singing and
Chrysos Vireo scolding. Other birds seen:
Flickers ab.; Dusky, Brown Towhees (four across
from Mrs. Panies. One of these kept fluttering its
wings but got no response from anyone
of the three near it.) Audubon Warblers ab.;
Siskiyou (one flock flew over) Calif. Jay ab., Linnets-
Wren Tuts (singing)
Many birds at the feeding table: Food bread and sun
flower seeds. Titmouse (pr.), Calif. Jay, Br.
and Sp. Towhees, Fox Sparrows and Song Sparrows.
