May, 1941
Move work in the garden in the late afternoon - to the
songs of : Olive-sided, Western Flycatchers, Wood
Bewee, Chickadees, Puruit-backed - Monterey Hermit Thrushes,
Warbling and Cassin Vireos, Pale-stalled Black-thr Gray Warblers,
W. Tanager, Black-h. Grosbeak, Purple Finch, St. Boldfruds,
Sistina, Spotted & Brown Towhee, Junco.
One Spotted Towhee varies his song by
substituting a loud, vibrant whistle for the
"to" and adding a very soft "whee-ee-ee".
On the Graham Hill Road we saw Mourning
Doves BoulderCo
May 17 (Sat.) Cloudy most of the day - Cooler.
Wolves in the garden much of the time.
Tanager singing in a.m. Both the Western,
and Olive-sided Flycatchers called during
the night. Hermit Thrush heard in distance.
May 18. Clear, cooler breeze (N.W.) Breakfast
on the porch at 7:30 a.m. Then watered the
garden before starting home. Saw the
female Black-thr Gray Warbler in the oats near
the house and garage, chipping all the time,
Then it flew into a high branch near the
top of the redwood at the entrance where it
disappeared and stopped chipping (nest there?)
The male was singing at a distance - to the east
On the way home we drove a mile
along the Skyline Boulevard beyond (south) from
Saratoga Gap - along the crest of the ridge. We could
see the ocean on one side and the Valley on the
other. At one Stop I heard the Wood Bewee, (Olive-sided)
Flycatchers and Ash-throated Flycatcher (saw a pair),
Mourning Doves (seen), Heard Thrasher, Grosbeak and
