A stop at Diamond Park in Fruitvale on
June 18 in the afternoon - an excellent place
for birds. I found one tall fan palm and watched
for a few minutes for the Hooded Oriole which
has been seen there. I did not see it but >
found a nest on the underside of one of the
lower leaves. A Cassin Vireo was singing
nearby, near Wany Springs a Ringbird flew out from-
an electric wire.
June 16. A House Wren was singing in our garden -
the first time I have heard it here this summer.
They have been very scarce in the region.
A Hutton Vireo was giving a call which might
be described as like that of a baby chick. (see
Hoffmann) when heard individually - but it was
a double blurred note as usual. Pleasant day.
June 17-20. Beautiful weather. Have been working
in the attic early morning and evening and from that
point I can hear all the birds between the house and
the end of Rosewood. Two Thrashers singing at some distance
from each other, Robin Warbler singing very
frequently. Luticous songs ceased until June 20. About
heard it again. Juncos seem to be nesting again below
