1942 Oct. 7. Berkeley. Hermit Thrush - calling and giving whisper song with response. P.C. Bingley heard several times. Flock of Bushtits on Piedmont near Parkers. Oct. 8. The first moles I heard were the song of the Hermit Thrush - quite clear. In the afternoon I found the feathers of a Hermit Thrush next the chimney on the west side of the house. The wings had been cut from the body and the flesh at the base was fresh. The white spot at the base of the wing feathers was decided. Oct. 9. Hermit Thrush sang east of house. Fox Sparrow came to bathe. Oct. 10. Rain began at 5 p.m., continued most of night. Oct. 11. Clear. Termites flying. Argentine ants attacked the crawling Termites. Oct. 12. "Allen Hummers" had their first trip. Clear with breeze from north; colder. We went to Mrs. Thompson's on Bret Harte Road - 131 - a stream runs through the front, crossed by a foot bridge high above it. Series of pools in bed of stream. Two large bays on east bank, very large live oak on west. Much shrubbery south of house with drinking pools and feeding table. There we saw Calif. Jay, Fox Sparrow, B.C. Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow. Then we went through a back gate out onto a bare hillside where we could loose into brush broad west and south: I heard and flocks of White-crowned Sparrows; also three hummingbirds (Anna probably), Flicker
