Tip of a small red fin. Later at Meek's Bay we stopped a few minutes among the aspens where we saw another Spotted Sandpiper and found an unfinished nest in an aspen tree. Twice a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches came near it we judged it was to be their nest. The only Song Sparrow we discovered in the Tahoe region was singing there. In the morning we were surprised to see a Marsh Hawk fly over.
Total June 6-8, 89 species.
June 10. I returned with Mrs. Watts via Donner Pass. We lunched at Mrs. Jump's at Alta but could not find the Hermit Warbler. The Tanager and Fox Sparrow were there still. The young robin had left one nest; another still contained young. It was necessary to deliver a student who came down with us at a ranch above Winnats. Some rice is grown there and we saw Blue Herons and American Egrets there. Cool. Very windy through Fairfield etc. Fog in Berkeley.
