1942 the clothes line Terrace. Tetraceous & Viggo Were always Cold when they are near the box of Serech Chicks. The young owls scramble about in the box in the evening and I heard the harsher type of notes of adults often outside my windows. Hutton Vireo singing. June 20. We drove down to Boulder Creek in the afternoons. Garden quite dry - Weather has been warm. June 21- Beautiful weather - warm enough to sit in shade. As I drove in at sunset last night a robin was singing near the junction of the highway and Drivin Way. So this morning I went up there to locate it. I found it in the grounds of Tranquility whence it flew to the Drivin Place. Mr. Frank Drivin came out while I was at the entrance. He told me that a pair had nested there for three years. That accounts for the occasional records in our trees. He also told me that each winter there were from 14-45 Wood Ducks on the river at their place. (I watched) them eat acorns on the sandy beach. Also one summer he watched a female on Boulder Creek, hoping to find a nest but did not succeed. I watched two families of Creepers, in one an adult and an immature crept up the bark keeping close together. Every four miles The adult reached back and fed the youngster, very quickly. Did not hear Ash-thr. Flycatchers. The other four kinds were seen or heard. Tanagers still singing. Returned to Berkeley in afternoon.
