March 29. Cold wind.
March 30. Warner. At the south end of the Stadium
a Cliff Swallow was flying about. An Andrew-
Don Warbler was singing.
Lady Birdy went to Sonol and Calanoras
Creek. We could find no Lewis Woodpeckers
or Yellow-billed Magpies. No herons seen,
Our first stop was at the bridge opposite
Castlemont Country Club where we found
Bridled and Luteinent Warblers, Black-Headed
Gull B and Western Flycatcher as well as
many permanent residents. Winter visitors:
Hermit Thrush.
The first stop was farther north at a
ranch where Cliff Swallows were building
their nests under a water tank and on
a barn where there was a convenient
ledge above the siding. Each one of a pair
brought mud and places it. One nest was
almost finished but most of them only just
begun. There was a flock of Bigit-Bound
White-crowned Sparrows feeding and bathing
and running.
After we left the main road we found a
small flock of Savannah Sparrows on the road
side. They perched quietly on the fence wires or
dropped into the grass. Among the Tules
Yellowthroats were singing and Mr. Sheldon heard
a Tule Warbler Redwings were much excited and
repeated different loud calls as well as the usual
Song.
