1942 We stopped in the sand hills between at Mission Springs Junction east of Mt. Herman. The Rough-winged Swallows were still feeding yp. in the nest - 5 were perched on the wire above. In the lop of a dead spruce (?) there were eight Martins - probably a family just out of the nest. Six were gray on breast. The male sang. At Boulder Creek there were still many songs but less continuous than earlier. Brown Towhees, Sp. Towhees, Juncoes and a male Grosbeak came for food. The Brown Towhee was still feeding the young birds but often tried to chase them away. I heard thin sing several times. A Warbling Vireo was chasing a teasing young bird. All three vireos, Cassin, Nuttall and Warbling in one group of trees. Bullfrogs. Sided Flycatcher was chasing a youngster. I heard a young thrush call. Returned Sunday a.m. July 5. Beautiful weather. July 8. From the east attic windows after 8 p.m., I could hear the thrasher singing for half an hour. Part of the time the thrush was singing. July 9. At the same hour - no thrasher. Only a few songs and whistles from the thrush. The day had been quite warm. July 10 - We went to Boulder Creek after 4 p.m. Saw the Martins - one circling about above the dead trees. The R.W. Swallows nest was empty.
