Heard a flock of Cedar Waxwings as it passed over Trill’s. Br. Towhee sings occ. Still very aggressive. Attracted Sp. Towhee which is carrying food to nest in brush next path in front of porch - Female scolded me as I walked by - Rock roses, locust, Lupine, in full bloom. May 21. A Black Thrush fluttered near mushroom pool, finally alighted on edge where it stayed a minute or two. A pair of quail came past the feeding table and went into the brush, when J.T.A. drove in, pairs - 3 p.m. A duck, above the tops of the trees, flew down the river. A young Allen Hummingbird came to the red rose. A pair of Bushtits. I heard the 8 spotted Towhees making a great fuss so I went to see what was the trouble. As I stood in the path something wriggled in the dead leaves under the brush. Then a tiny bird came out into the path. The birds had left the nest - very tiny, fine streaks on breast. Dried excited and a Tanager came into the brush above them, calling. Half an hour later the male was singing.
