1941 June 16. I walked up the new road toward River Glen. (10 minute) Sh.Sh.Hawk - one, flying; Ash.Thr.Flycatcher 1, Wren-at 1, Chipping Sparrows 2 pr., Hermit Thrush. (5 sp. added). Tanager at Hurlingtons- On the way home, I stopped at the top of Swan Copa Grade where I added the Thrasher and Hutton Vires. The most abundant birds were Purple Finches all singing. Do males court predate in good feeding areas during nesting reason? Total species seen: 29+3+6+5+2 = 45sp. The Purple Finches at our place were feeding on the seeds of the ceanothus - A male showing no red ate six or eight seeds, sang; at more seeds, sang; ate, sang; ate, sang. I was watching a baby thrush perched in a dense hazel at the top of the river bluff at Joy Camps. It took me a long time to find him though he was calling constantly - a throaty call with a suggestion of thrush quality. I could see only his back. I thought if I imitated the thrush whistle he might turn toward me. He did instantly and when I whistled a second time he flew directly toward me, dodged me by about two feet and alighted on the ground behind me. When I whistled again he ran toward me. I went away as his mother would come and feed him.
