Boulder Creek. Water thrush sang a loud clear song. ---- . The first notes were like the scolding of a Vigors Wren but more rhythmical, the last brilliant and rapid like a Winter Wren but louder. Oct. 4. A Hermit Thrush was chuckle-chuckling - Seen eating coffee berries that were on the ground. Later a Ruby-crowned Kinglet chattered. Several Robins. Oct. 3 (contin. see above) Crested Jays have come in in numbers but now came to the table, Draill quiet - all will grown - large flocks. Brown Towhee still a little ragged on backs of wicks, Spotted Towhees and juncos and one Calif. Jay also at the table. The Lane Brown Towhee still tries to dominate the others - by glaring at them in a fixed pose. Weather fine. Oct. 6. On the way home I noticed a great increase in Blackbirds that were calling and lined up on electric wires. More, Sparrow Hawks - one flew up from Los Gatos highway and joined in wind. The Turkey Buzzard near Alvarado.
