1942 have never identified in The Santa Cruz Mts. Both Titmouse and Chickadees are at Saratoga and San Mateo. In the schoolyard (Scott Valley) I found both in adjoining cages. Also Savannah, agroup (fairy), Sparrows I never seen before (except Bryant Sar. Sp. on the bay shores) in summers. Also Nairywood, Calif. Wisp., Black Phoebe, Wood Penee family, Olive-sided Flycatcher (two young birds on each branch, not attempting to fly but huddled together, being fed by adult), Bush-Tits, Chickadees, Titmouse, Calif. Jay, Cliff Swallows, (Violet- green Titmice) W. Martins, Hutton Vireos, Eng. Sparrows, B. Goldfinch, Juncos, Savannah Sparrows, Brown Towhees (family-2qq.) Robin (yq. bird, calling, adult flying) Berkeley Aug. 11. Very heavy fog with a trace of rain. At 8.a.m. a few of us went to Danvers to stay over two nights. Nothing but Western Tulls seen on the bay. On the mud flats below San Rafael, there were a few Ble. Clover and one or two Curlew (sp.?), and a number of Walleto and up the bay Ave. Egrets and a Blue Heron. At Manor we stopped to see Mr. Kussey's aviaries and found them most interesting. Mrs. K. was busy preparing food which she brought out later in small dishes containing big food suitable to the birds in each cage. Some dishes contained mostly meal worms; some combinations of cereal, worms and grapes (needlers, cut juice). The first cages contained Nairywoodpeckers, Lewis Woodpeckers, Gilded Flicker
