46 species.
A large flock of siskins were in the top of a bare
Tree all chattering. A gun shot was heard and they
all flew out and circled back into the Tree.
Rained all night. House Wren singing under eprindred.
Mar.26. Rained all day. I was raked up by
the "Sweet, sweet, sweet" call of a
Titmouse under my window -
Mar. 27. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet was singing contin-
ously at 6:30 a.m. Cloudy, no rain.
The Lady Birds went to the rain pools to.
Wren Haymonds, Mt. Eden and Alvarado. Yellow-
legs (Greater) were very numerous. (36 seen);
Sandpipers (sp.)
Doves 40+; Dovetiters 15-20;in pools and
Shovelers abundant; Very few Pintails.
(No teal seen). We went through Dublin Canyon
and returned via Saranap where we saw
a Townsend Solitaire at Mr. Haverland's
Bee Ranch. Mrs. N. said it had spent the
winter there. It was very easy to see as it
perched on its electric wire, on the tip of a
low tree and in a bare walnut tree. At
last it disappeared in a live oak in which
there was much mistletoe. (Does it feed on
mistletoe berries?) I am sure I heard the
Call of an Oriole. Willow Goldfinch seen.
