A huge bay tree that stood on the edge of

Very heavy rain began at noon.

a Townsend Solitaire was watched for
half an hour. It was picking off ten.
miles as they came out of some wood
in the garage (Mrs. Harlly)
Heavy hail storm at night.

Nov. 21. Boulder Creek. Band-Tailed Pigeons
seen. Many Varied Thrushes - eating madrone-
berries. When I went to look for mush-
rooms down the river bluff, I found
many places where the rotting leaves

had been hunting acorns or mushrooms
among the leaves. I saw one fly up from
such a place. Cold at night.
