1943 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).
