Ringetensio 1943 Unusual song of Bulbatt Sp. at S.W. Cor. Stadium. Mar. 2. Beautiful spring day. A large flock of Audubon Warblers in a large oak tree east of the Infirmary. Kinglets wirecrying. Mar. 3. Stormy with east wind. A Lutescent Warbler is singing west of the houses. New leaves are coming out on the oaks. Junco's at the table - 8-10. Purple Finch, Hermit Thrush, singing. Mar. 4. As I sat eating dinner at the W.F.C., I watched Varied Thrushes feeding along the banks of Strawberry Creek. I could see six at once. Still Stormy, colder. Mar. 4. Raining. Flock of Brush-tits very small, Cedar Waxwings and Robins still thick near Infirmary but berries getting scarce. Mar. 5. Very gloomy, Raining. Lutescent Warbler and Vagors Were singing. On way to Oakland A.M. I heard Song Sparrows and Titmouse singing. In Hamilton Canyon Two Sharp- shins (a Cooper) were seen rising in Spirals when a Sparrow Hawk darts at him. Then a second Sharp-shin appeared. Both Sh. Sh. disappeared in the cloud and the Sp. Hawk returned to the top of Panoramic Way. Another Sp.H. was poising in the wind and dropped at the hill above Dwight Way - Strong wind S.W. Anna H. Still on his perch. Mar. 6-10. Almost constant rain, no wind. Lutescent Warbler continued to sing - most of the time across the road. Also Purple Finch, Vagors Were Song Sparrows.
