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.
