like a Saramal Sparrow); Lark Sparrow - a pair
had just been battling in the marine at Haverlands
and were preening their feathers; Gamble and
Golden-crowned Sparrows, Song Sparrow (at Claws

32 species.
In the group of large trees across the B.P.
from Saramap Station Birds were very abundant.
Eng. Sparrows, Linnets, Calif. Woodpeckers, Orioles,
Green-backed Goldfinches, Yellow Warblers and
a Lutescent Warbler.
As we came home we stopped at the end
of Morwood Rd. where we saw several Chestnut
Warblers, Spotted and Brown Thrushes, Song Sparrows
and heard the hummer which does the pen-
dulum with the broken note at the bottom
of the arc.
Miss Gladding told me she saw young juncos
near the Faculty Club. Allen N. still sitting on
nest in fuchsia bushes the porch.
Apr.21. I cleaned out the titmouse box - an old pellet left.
April 22. A House Wren was seen about 11 a.m. at
the titmouse box, and soon after began to take
in sticks. Very quiet - probably female.
A Dwarf Hermit Thrush, was seen on
the terrace in front of the dining room. It
was catching small insects by running
after them. At each run however it fell
forward on its head almost as a wagtail
does. I noticed also that it's tail frequently
touched the ground, then discovered it was
nearly one foot.
