1942 March 29. Worked in the garden. Townsend Warblers singing. Mar. 30. Warm. The first bird I heard when I went to my windows was a Warbling Vireo - Call note a continuous se-see-see about 9 a.m. A Western Flycatcher began to call. When I went out on the 2. porch after lunch I noticed a Lutescnt Warbler bathing in the pool. I put out food on the table and returned and closed the door; the bird went right on splashing- A red squirrel was on the sidewall on the far side of Morrwood Rd. in the morning. In the late afternoon it was going through the oats on the north side of the house, running up the branches and jumping across from one tree to another. Do they hunt for birds' eggs? Mar. 31. Rain most of the day. Western Flycatcher Called often. Blue B.c. Kinglet heard - no song. April 1. A beautiful spring day. A No Fox Sparrow Came to the apple. (I put out one each day). but the Shrinit Thrush came often. I saw the Townsend Solitaire near the lower end of Morr- wood Road. It came from the big Monterey pines & the electric wire when several Wrentits were scolding across the road. The Solitaire showed much interest, stretched its neck and fluttered its wings but remained on the wire. Juncos have been gone from the table for a week. Townsend Warblers are abundant in the oats and singing. A flock of piskins came in and the watch winding song was general. Purple Finches still singing and eating worms. H. Thrush singing.
