June 28. A family of Purple Finches in the Ceanothus near the garage. Young giving the whree-o0 call. All three Vires heard. Juncos singing near the bench on the bluff. Large flock of Chickadees, each independent. Also family with young tearing for food. Family of Bush Tits, Creepers; Pygmy Wren (first time this summer) Low fog early morning. Cool day. Rob. Thrush still sings early morning and until 9 p.m. Tanager vials seen on electric wire several times. Grosbeak comes through occasionally. Spotted Towhee takes food for young until 8:30p. June 29. Cool. June 30. A family of Warbling Vires near front porch, young tearing to be fed. Note: mee-e; mee-e; mee-e; thine. A Cassin Vireo alighted on the top wire of the rose trellis and sang several tunes, then chased another in the Crab apple Tree (pair ?) Saw a Swift (Vaux) fly over the tops of the trees on the river bank. At about 4:40 a.m.(war time), I heard a Western Martin calling. At 5 a.m. the Rob. Thrush began singing. Later in the day several young thrushes were flying through The trees and Calling. The note reminded me a little of the quaver of a Varied Thrush. Quite sure I heard a Robin above the main street in the Town. I have spent much time planting a Vegetable garden. I have found no angle worms.
