1941 afternoon I heard one singing near the dairy in Strawberry Canyon - the first one heard this year though I have been watching carefully for them. May 7. I heard the Lazuli Bunting singing again. at 6:15 p.m. a Russet-backed Thrush was singing near the Women's Faculty Club - the first song I have heard this spring through they have been here since April 25. It looks as if the females come in first - Warm. Young Lutescent Warblers - three families - one East of house, one west and one across Mosswood Rd. - moving about very freely. May 8. Lutescent Warbler sang many times at dawn under my window. No other birds. About 11 a.m. I heard a Russet-backed Thrush singing west of the house. A Stellar Jay took all the bread I put out.
