July 14. The W. Winter Wren sings constantly
near the river. Male Brown Thrasher
still sings. Kingfisher moving, Woodpecker on
closest pole.
July 15. Took the Boy Scouts up to River Glen, but
birds were very scarce. Fog (high) lasted
until moon. Added Bush-tits (in our garden),
heard one Wren-tit, one Goldfinch, one Purple Finch
(singing), 2 Tanagers (calling). As we came
back there was a Robin calling near the
boys camp. They have been telling me there
were robins in their camp but I didn't
feel sure they were right. W.W. Wren still
singing near the river and on Rob. Thrush in full
cant. P.m. An Olive-sided Flycatcher on our elee, wire.
July 16. We walked out to the highway at Drivin Way
to take the bus to S.F. Just before reaching the
County Road (Micklebelle's place) I came upon
a family of Black-Throated Gray Warblers, all
calling. The call of the adults was something
like the call of the Tolewice - almost "cheep".
The young called "tij-lip". They were feeding
in a medium sized oak where they were
easily seen.
July 17- Berkeley - a chilly fog most of the day-
Heard the following birds: Calif. Jay, Bush-tits (family
Whentet?), Western Tanager, Virginia Wren, Tolmie Warbler (sang when the sun
came out for a little while in a.m.), Linnets
(many flying over, some (eating berries) near by,
Bb. Goldfinches, Grosbeak, Spotted Towhees (pair,
male singing. Took oatmeal.) W. Flycatcher.
(No quail seen or heard) (Opossum last night).
