June 11.- The Blue Jay is brooding so my guess
was apparently wrong. The young House
Wrens are very clamorous and the parents
scold all the time the Blue Jay is near;
when she goes back to the nest the
scolding changes to the pouring sound.
At 10 a.m. we went to Boulder Creek where
we found the garden in good condition and
still full of flowers. Godelias and Clarkia
beginning; also Blue gilia. Tanagers were
very conspicuous.
June 12.- A pair of Tanagers were giving a note
I was not familiar with. They went
dashing through the oaks east of the house.
I heard the Black-throated Grey Warbler sing
once or twice. Mrs. Dornin and I walked
through the Santa Cruz Grove. It was so
quiet and peaceful. I saw no one,
until we were nearly through when
a young man hurried by. The ground
cover was beautiful and Erintonia still
in bloom. I heard the call notes of
one Hermit Thrush but no song. Creepers
were singing. Cool with high fog until 10:30.

June 13.- When the House Wrens were scolding the
Jay a Thrasher joined in and then a
Humming bird. A Thrash backed Thrush
called - no song. I found the lining of the
W. Fly catchers nest hanging by a hair a
foot below the nest. Cold fog.
