nearly noon, and I don't know how much longer.
The pair of Tanager constantly near the house.
Black-throated Grey Warbler has stopped
singing. Families of Chickadees, juncos, bush-
tits. Olive-sided Flycatcher often on the electric
wire, Black Phoebes also on June 27. Goldfinches
came to pool frequently. Grosbeaks seldom
sang, Rob. Thrush often. Hermit Thrush heard
from the cottage (singing on mountain across
the highway) and also on the top of Ben
Lomond Mountain. Wrentits, Warbling Vireos
Wood Pewees, Purple Finches on the summit.
When we returned to Berkeley we found
it had been foggy and cold most of the
time.
June 28. We looked into a Thrush's nest in
a blackberry vine at 39 Canyon Road which
Lois discovered last week. The nest was
empty. Brown Thrashers have a nest in an
ivy on the lattice at Mrs. Pareri's back door
(29 Bayeswood Rd). The birds must be feeding
young as one of the adults collects food here
and carries it in that direction.
June 30. Heard a Hutton Vireo just east of house,
Russet-backed Thrush sang freely in middle
of the day.
July 1. Lois found a Screech Owl's nest in a hole
in an oak tree below 29 Morrisonwood. One young bird on the ground.
