1940 Los Angeles June 12. We started to drive to Los Angeles, making a detour to see The San Antonio Mission, west of King City. We found it quite a ruin; The walls and front (of niche) still standing but protected by a temporary roof which left quite an opening between the top of the walls and the roof. When we entered a linnet was singing inside and rough-winged Swallows were flying to and from a niche above the altar. A Black Phoebe and were seen inside also. Lois looked behind a picture which hung near the stairway to the pulpit and found nine bats there. 1 bat. Night at St. Maria where we visited the wonderful seed gardens in brilliant flower. June 14. At 1632-Varquiza Rd. in Los Angeles Song Sparrow, Morningbird, Linnets and Brewer Blackbirds were heard early. A flock of Bush tits, Black Phoebe seen later. Two young finches perched all day in the Dodar - prob. introduced species. June 15. We went to Claremont for our class reunion. Very few birds seen or heard- even in the "wash" toward 5:00 p.m. June 16. At Wavel's cottage at dawn, silence except for one linnet song and call note of a song sparrow. June 16. Went via Corona to Banda Ana Canyon road, then to Modjeska Canyon, 16 miles from Orange where we visited Mr. Tucker's, "Oakwood". We watched Anna, Costa and Black-chinned Hummers feeding at his bottles and many linnets, grosbeaks e.t.c. at his feeding tables. Most interesting. Black-chinned Hummingbird was the only species seen.
