June 14. Clear, warm. At dawn the Western
Flycatcher was the first bird to call so they
have perhaps built a third nest near by.
The Grosbeak began a little later when the
Spotted Towhee and Song Sparrow were singing.
June 15. Clear, warm. Wrens still feeding young
in nesting box.
June 16. Wrens are gone. Warm.
June 18. We went to Boulder Creek. Wild
Lobelia still in bloom near Alvarado-
Tanagers still conspicuous at Boulder
Creek. I heard the Black-throated
June 19. Gray Warbler singing several times.
Many families of young birds: Chickadees,
Juncos, Belded Warblers. I had no time
to watch them as we had such a short
visit and all the plants needed water.
An Olive-sided Flycatcher punched out
our electric wire and darted out for
flies. Warm. Sudden change at noon. Snow
in Sierras.
June 20. Berkeley. The Blue jay's nest seems to
be deserted and looks as if it had been
torn to pieces. At noon I saw a
Coast Jay, alight on the post near
the lower terrace. Finally he hopped
to the ground and picked up a fairly
large object and flew down the hill
with it. I wonder if he destroyed
the Calif. Jay's nest.
House Wren was singing near box early a.m.
