Oct. 15. A large flock of Bush-tits came to bathe in
the East pool. With them were half a dozen
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, all watching for a
chance to get into the pool. As the Bush-
tits moved away I saw a Hermit Thrush
and three Kinglets in the pool together - the
thrush in the deep water splashing vigor-
ously and the Kinglets daintily dipping
in the edges.
Warm.
Oct. 16. Warm - no breeze. W.Wrens
in the lower garden.
Oct. 17. Happy Valley. Lewis Woodpeckers - several
were seen flying high over the valley.
Oct. 20. The Allen Hummers went up Strawberry
Canyon. It had rained all night but was
clear and crisp - as if there had been
snow in the mountains. R.C. Kinglets still
very abundant. Only two W.W. Wrens heard
and only lots of Sparrows and no Golden-crowned
Kinglets. We saw an (Orange-crowned) Warbler.
Puget. Sd. Sparrows and G.c. Sparrows were
above the Poultry Farm. Being the first
clear day after the first rain, the finches
were flying - seen along Canyon Rd. At
the Stake above 53 Canyon Rd., the finches
were swarming out of the port and also
along the board wall.
Oct. 23. A R.C. Kinglet outside my window sang full voiced song.
Oct. 25. Cloudy. A W.W. Wren under my window began
his calls with a quick short bill - 5 or 6 calls together,
then three calls, then two. Thrasher calls heard.
Oct. 24 Dr. Miller told me 10-12 Fox Squirrels were shot near Paule
on Oct. 19.
