Berkeley 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. Berkeley 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.
