1938 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.
