July 5: While I was home I noticed Robins at Saratoga and in several places in the Santa Clara Valley, increasing toward Berkeley. I have not noticed any warblers in Boulder Creek. Berkeley July 5: Loris saw the Brown Thrushes feeding a young bird in the trees near the nest (above the owl's nest) She found the owl had died. July 11: I heard the Hutton Vireo again near the house. The Rusty-backed Thrush still sings occasionally. I hear very often a very soft whine, which may be the note of this young thrush. The Thrasher sings frequently and I hear again a phrase which I heard last year which suggests the song of the European Blackbird. I have not heard the Thrashers give it before this year. Nannybirds are abundant (monkey flowers) On the campus I heard the Olive-sided Flycatcher (song), the W. Flycatcher, the Warbling Vireo — all singing still. On Tamalpais road the Nuttall Sparrow was singing. July 12: Quite hot at Boulder Creek but breeze fresh. Very comfortable in the shade. I heard a Towhee as it crossed our place, coming from the trees near the river and stopping in the trees across the road near the redwood gate. It may have gone on to orchard trees above the meadow. It was calling frequently during its passage through our place. Birds still singing: Bicolored Warbler, Western Flycatcher, Rd. Thrush.
