Jan. 13. (Contini). When I went out to feed the birds
about 8:30 a.m. I heard a Wren-tit, a Virginia Wren
and a Hutton Vireo singing.
Birds that came for food: 8 Fox. 8 Sparrows, 2 Sp.Tow.
The pomegranate I wired to the branch on Jan.10
was gone except for a piece of skin hanging
on the wire. A large piece of the skin and some
seeds were on the floor of the porch, and there
was enough dampness to show the tracks
of the animal that had taken it.
It measured about two or two
and a half inches in length &
thick. (O-possum ?)
Jan. 14. Still beautiful weather. No wind. Not too
much fog. Birds eager for food: 6-8 Fox. 8p.,
3 Sp.Towhees, 1 Song Sparrow. A Hermit Thrush
Came to bathe. At 1:15 p.m. 2 thrashers bathed
thoroughly twice. First time I have seen them
least of time
