1943 Jan. 2 (Cont’d) As we passed 21 Rosewood two Anna Hummers were buzzing about, very close together. Finally one alighted on the roof of the garage, the other flying at it. We could see flaming red on only one and judge it was a pair. Jan. 5. Slightly warmer. A walk to the Mann place in Hamilton Canyon at 4 p.m. Saw a flock of 8+ Quail in the last garden above the road. - Saw only 1 Aud. Warbler and heard only 1 Rc. Kitelet. A Varied Thrush was taking berries from the Loquat bush in the Hitchinson garden at the mouth of Strawberry Canyon. An animal (O'possum) took the pomegranate last night. I heard him about 3 a.m. pushing the abalone shell about (I had left it with oatmeal on the porch floor.) Jan. 8. The wind has been blowing down the canyon since Jan. 3. Birds have come for food between gales - Jan. 9. Quiet and warmer. Threw the abalone shell higher and filled it with oatmeal and swept out the pool. Birds came immediately and are much more easily seen now the shell is not covered by ivy. For Sparrows, Spotted Towhees, Song Sparrows. Never any quail. Jan. 10. When we took a walk in Hamilton Canyon we saw two Cooper Hawks soaring high above the trees. Wires a pomegranate on bird branch. Jan. 11. Dense title fog. James heard a Red-breasted Nuthatch near Mrs. Olversteds at mouth of canyon. Jan. 12. Faculty Section went to Mrs. Jory's. Heard Cornell bird records. Clear, warmer.
