Blackbirds attacked the Redtail and Sparrow Nestles. The Proprietor of the Sunset Nursery said a chat there began singing every morning about five o'clock. May 18. The jay's nest near the kitchen windows is finished. May 19, 20. We visited Mrs. Jump at her 200 acre ranch at Alta, elevation 4000 ft. It was early spring there; dogwood and apple trees in bloom. I found Fox, Sparrows and Hermit Warblers in full song, apparently located for nesting Mrs. Jump told me they have Mt. Druid and Mt. Bluebirds nesting there usually—Chipping Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, Black-headed Grosbeak, Goldfinch, Junco, Grosbeak, and Thrush were in the yard all the time and I saw the White-headed Woodpecker and heard the Screech Creeper. Mrs. Jump told me that in March a flock of Evening Grosbeaks came to their chimney—a large stone chimney with large fireplaces outside the line of the housewalls. A ledge in the stone work made a convenient place for them to alight.
