1938. Aug.23. Berkeley As I left the house I noticed a soft whistled note in Mrs. Parsons garden and as I walked down the road I found three or four birds the size and shape of Evening Grosbeaks on the electric wire. I had to stop and put on my glasses and they flew before I got a good look but I saw one go into the big pine tree (it looked very light colored) and one was taking out-Ash berries. All three flew across the road and took some elder berries and then disappeared in the woods. When I came back from town as I left the garage I heard the note again and looked up just in time to see three birds fly off over the Jackson houses and disappear in the distance. I have a doubt they were Evening Grosbeaks- immature plumage. (See Sept. 6.) (Tangars) Aug.25. Heard a Tanager near the house. Aug.26. Clear. Warm. Saw a Warbling Vireo. The back looked quite oliveaceous and the grey of the underparts was tinged with yellow. The white line was more conspicuous Perhaps due to new bracculars that it looked more like the Red-eyed as pictured in Hoffmann. Heard the Tanager again and a warbler which sounds like the Yellow Warbler (call note only). Aug.27. Went to Santa Cruz to do an errand. Later (2:30 p.m.) Looked for birds on the West Cliff Drive. Hermann Gull all have darker heads than on Aug.13. to July 29. Western Gulls on the cliffs. Four or five Cormorants on the nearest rocks. Pelicans on the Lighthouse Rock - One Western Gull kept calling constantly - double high.
