Song Sparrows. 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
