1941. January. Continued rain. But I after heard the Thrasher singing. On Jan. 8 I began putting out seeds again. Some mammal has been taking food at night as I haven't been feeding as continuously. The Hermit Thrush is eating the berries from Xmas decorations. But the seeds immediately attracted Juncos, Fox, Song Sparrows, Brown and Spotted Towhees. Gulls everywhere [Stadium Campus]. Jan. 9. One Brown Towhee is missing all tail feathers. Titmouse gave Sweet-set call. Jan. 10. Clear and warm as we drove to Boulder Creek for the day. At The Alvarado rain pools birds were very abundant- Hundreds of Gulls, Shoveller Ducks, and Sandpipers (both Least and Redbacks- not cure of Weston), Coots. A few B.B. Plover Jan. 11. Warm. Clear. Birds eager for food. Thrasher singing. Jan. 17. Thrasher has continued singing and I hear the Titmouse, Vireo's Brew and Song Sparrow occasionally. I put part of a coconut on the feeding branch and the Crested Jays came almost immediately to it. They race themselves and hammer at it to get the meat. Other birds go to it occa- sionally but they seem to prefer the seeds. Jan. 18. Went to Santa Cruz and back. At the pools near Alvarado we saw two Burrowing Owls and hundreds of Coots.
