July 1941
On the way home to Berkeley I heard a Rh. Grosbeak and
saw a Sh.Sh. Hank below Dome.
July 18 Berkeley. The W. Flycatcher is still sitting on
the nest in the garage. Pays no attention to us
as we go in and out. A Rb. Thrush was seen on
the lower terrace. Trail were quiet - quitting
frequently east of the house as if young were
hatched. Two Spoiled Towhees still sing,
guarding territory.
July 19-21 Boulder Creek. Weather quite hot. Breezy cool.
Tanager still present. Flock of chickadeas seen, some
still being fed by parents and giving baby calls. Flock
of Bush-Tits. Warbling Vireos in family groups.
No Cassin Vireos or Olive-sided Flycatchers (never heard)
Hutton Vires, Pygmy Nuthatch, Kingfisher, Robin (heard
once - call not only) listed as post breeding wanderers-
since this depot not present earlier-
also the Calif. & Coal Jay.
The nest of the Willow
Flycatcher (see June 22, July 9) was empty. The
male was giving its "swee-eat" call near by -
have they built another nest? Rb. Thrushes still call - sang once.
The Brown Towhee that was minus a tail on July 4
has a tail 'grown'. Each evening I heard it sing.
As it has been appearing with the female (with loose feather)
and the young it does not seem to be without a
mate but perhaps my guess that it took the
place of the bird with the broken leg is wrong. The
young bird feeds itself but also gives a baby call and is
fed by the mother (full grown tail). Juncos come together
for young and one adult (male on wire singing); The
young feed themselves and are fed by the mother.
