1938 Aug. 30. I saw one full-privileged male Tanager and heard notes of another Tanager near the house. A thrasher came to the feeding table for bread - the first time for several years. They have come often to the pool but not to the table. Aug. 31. A Kingfisher gave its rattle as it flies by below the house. Warm weather; no fog for several days. Sept. 1. Heard a House Wren and Rob. Thrush and Warbler chips are frequent - which seems to indicate a southward movement of birds which have spent the summer farther north. Sept. 3. Boulder Creek. Cassin's Vireos were numerous - some singing and others giving the calls of young (chee-chee-chee). Since I have heard them each week, I think they have been nesting near the house. In the middle of the morning a group of Russet-backed Thrushes came in, calling loudly and giving an imperfect quarter - Birds of the year from farther north?. Cynny Warblers were feeding in the redwoods above the cottage. Sept. 6. A Tanager flew into the tree over my head giving its pretty, pretty "call". When it flew it gave the soft whistled note which I heard on Aug. 13.
