Titmowes were building in a bird box. March 28. Charter Day. Raining. March 29. Cloudy early, heavy rain all day and all night. Before 9 a.m. I noticed many songs in the trees east of the house: Titmouse, Wren-tit, Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow. Winter Visitants: Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush, Juncos (flocks), Fox Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow. Summer Visitants: House Wren, Lutecent Warbler, Bleeding Warbler. New leaves are out on the oaks and even the sparrows are feeding on the worms. March 30. Still raining: -2 in. + in 24 hours. Saw birds as yesterday except that I did not see White-crowned Sparrow or Hermit Thrush. But there was a large flock of Audubon Warblers present. I could see their pulling out the worms. March 31. Heard the call notes of a Hermit Thrush. A Western Flycatcher was calling continuously east of the house. Rain most of the day. April 1. Beautiful sunny day. House Wren with mate at the box I cleaned out yesterday. W.Flycatcher calling. I have not detected the presence of a mate. H. Thrush, Fox Sparrow, Bus.Warblers, Juncos in oaks.
