a family of very young Bush-tits sat at house. June 21. Saw male House Wren enter box - is it the same male with another mate? The brood which left June 16 has not been seen since. Heard W.Tanager in afternoon. June 22. House Wren at box about 9 a.m. The following birds are singing near the house: Thraaer, Grosbeak, Rob. Thrush, Spotted Towhee, Brown Towhee in Mrs. Person's garden (no mate?), Song Sparrow, Junco (below house), Immature Warbler, House Wren. A group of Bush-tits seemed to be of two ages - some gave adult notes, others the call of young birds. Two families united in flock? Warm. June 23. Many families of young birds about. St. Eunice's Junco, Bush-tits (thirty in one flock - all able to feed themselves as far as I could see - no calls of young birds). A Hutton Vireo was singing just east of the house - the first I have heard, since the heavy rains of March. A few minutes later a family of Vireos was in the garden. I thought they were Hutton Vireos but I was interrupted before I could verify it. Lois saw a family of very young quail below the house. June 25-27. Boulder Creek. High fog early in the morning, clear by 7:30 or 8:30 a.m. Warm with fresh breeze. Ocean and Monterey Bay covered with fog and fog below Felton until
