July 5. I saw them several times; once, one bird
chased the other, soon after that the male
that has been singing constantly came to the table
for food (6 ft. from our breakfast table on the
porch). Nist "chirps" were answered by
the other bird. Also for the first time
I heard the prolonged squeaky notes used
so often by a pair but not heard when
the male was alone. The male still
sang occasionally. Rb. Thrush sang up to 9 p.m.
A Water Ouzel was calling below the house -
I saw it - It flew away up stream.
At 2 p.m. we started back to Berkeley by
automobile.
Spotted Towhees have their family under the
coffee berry near the table.
Dumbarton Bridge - tide very high. There
were a few Sandpipers and Willets - 20+ each
and young Acroels were almost grown.
Cliff Swallows very ab. A few Foster's Teres.
July 6. Young juncos pick up food from the porch
floor; also light on the shell.

[illegible] Worms (fawn?), Grosbeak, Br. & Sp. Towhees.
