(124) did not see. (Two Green-backed Goldfinches were gathering nesting material in the berry-patch. They did not seem to be the pair that is nesting in the peach tree as the material taken corresponds to that used in an earlier stage of nest building) About 9:30 a loud thrasher song sounded from the direction of the glade, so I went down to investigate the singer. On my way down it was repeated and I located the singer in a tree near the nest. It sailed over my head, looking as big as a magpie, down into the chaparral, where the song was repeated.
