1942 Mar.17, 14 rain - Snow in afternoon of Mar. 14 which fell in the town as well as on the hills. Hills white almost down to the Cyclotron. Mar. 15- Clear, beautiful day. Saw two blue jays gathering sticks in an elder berry tree just below the lower end of Arden Way. Both birds were breaking limbs off the tree and one flew down the hill with this . In the afternoon I saw an Allen Hummer fly to a bit of hanging vine under the south balcony at the Voyes house on Greenwood Terrace. Purple Finches are singing beautifully. Mar.16. Clear, warmer but still very crisp. I walked again around on the south side of the hill and saw the T. Solitaire near the upper hair pin turn on Panoramic. It was perched on the guard fence; flew into the grass then into a small oak, again into grass then to electric wire. Gradually worked westward, feeding on some insect in the grass. A Thrasher was singing, perched in a leafless poison oak between the two parts of Panoramic. Anna Nunez is always on the same place on the electric wire. Flowers - a few poppies, (brodiaea, lupine (gas), paint brush, butter cups. Above, the Carrie house I was surprised to find a Mourning Dove on the el wire. Very Sandy in Color Wings whirled when it flew.
