March 26. I walked to the Greek Theater for Charter
Day Celebration. At the mouth of the canyon
on Norrands Rd., a Townsend Solitaire flew
up to the electric wire, showing its white
outer tail and olive wing patch. It gave the
characteristic flirt of wings after alighting.
Near the Theater a flock of Cedar Waxwings.
Cold wind. Siskins, juncos heard during
ceremonies and J.T. says a hawk was
flying among the eucalyptus trees at the top.
A.C.D.C. Dr. Miller reported W. Vireo
on lower campus.
March 27. Many Townsend Warblers near the
house, singing. A Lutecent Warbler
sang constantly below the house. A pair
has been apparently settled near the steps
cross the road.
March 28. J.T. & I started off before 9 a.m. on
Three Vines for a walk up to the upper trails up Shaw-
Thunder, Berry Camp in search of Hutton Vireos.
