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.
