1940 Apr.30.(contin.) At St. Mary's College (Picnic Grounds) Ash-Throated Flycatcher, Wood Pewee, W. Fly- catcher, Black Phoebe, Pale-caleded Titmouse and Toleine Warblers. At the Howard Garden a Virgin Wren had young out of the nest. Old Canyon Rd. a family of Bush Tits were out of the nest and flying about in the oak tree where they were being fed by the parents. Warm-Party Cloudy- May 1. A Western Tanager was calling outside my window at 6 a.m. I cleaned out the titmouse box. The hole was completely closed by columbia and the box filled with sticks of last year's House Wren's nest. Also feathers. I left the box with the lid up while I went to get the step ladder. Almost immediately a Cali- Jay came, alighted on the upturned lid. The lid fell down and closed the box. The jay alighted on the top and poked his head in at the hole and picked something off the outside of the box. Then another jay came and drove him away. A Brown Towhee on the roof of our house (north side) was singing a twittering song which I have heard only once before. As I watched from another bird appeared from higher up and began portuning and vibrating its wings. They flew away together.
