Apr.14.(contin.) all the other birds concentrated,
feeding on oak worms. A Polynia Warbler
is singing at the end of this road.
I look twice to look at the Audubon Warblers
through my binoculars. All that were in
mature breeding plumage had bright yellow
throats. They stayed in the Trees about an
hours - a large flock. Many went to
about 6 p.m I saw
the pool to bathe or drink. 6 Geese fly over Managuard.
April 18. It has been clear but north winds have
been chilly all this week. Birds have diminished
day to day. A few Audubon Warblers remain and Robins are
numerous and very tame. Purple Finches
are still singing but Siskiyou and junco seem
to have moved on. Droppings
from the worms are decreasing steadily.
Today a Titmouse has been singing near
the box below the house and a Western
Flycatcher seems to be interested in the
old nest site under the N.W. porch. A
Grosbeak is often heard singing. I heard
a Hermit Thrush, and saw a Cooper
Hawk April 17. The pair of Bushtits near
the house gave their alarm note when the
Hawk flew over. (Heard Polynia Warbler)
Apr.19. We drove Boulder Creek. Raining at noon in
the mountains. Slide closed road from Watmians
Gap as we had to detour through Big Basin.
Clearing in afternoon.
Apr.20. Breakfast at 8 a.m on porch. Beautiful day.
A Bushtit's nest in the Fremontia framework only.
