J. Rodgers-1939 147 Itinerary and other notes April 13 April 13, 1939. Mus.Vert.Zool., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif On the campus, I have not recorded a Dwarf Hermit Thrush since April 1; neither have I recorded a Ruby- crowned Kinglet since then. Audobon Warblers were heard April 11, but have been very uncommon since about March 25. Golden-crowned Sparrows were recorded April 12. A Townsend Solitaire was seen several times on the campus this spring, the most recent record is Mar. 25. At the Berkeley Aquatic Park, April 10, I saw about 6 Canvas-back Ducks, and 1 American Pipit. Pileolated Warblers first appeared in Strawberry Canyon sometime between Mar. 25 and April 1, while Lutescent Warblers arrived between Mar. 11 and Mar. 18. Tolmie and California Yellow Warblers were both reported there April 9. Chipping Sparrow was reported on the campus April 8 (Bert Jones). Feb. 15, on the campus, Robert Taylor and Bert Jones found 7 Bush-tit nests, from then on they found the nests regularly. April 11, they were watching 37 and had quit trying to find more. On this date the first young left the nest, and most of the 37 had young in the nest. Cliff Swallows have been seen on the campus since April 8 or earlier. There are only 3 or 4 pairs so far. I heard my first Calif. Yellow Warbler on the campus this morning, April 13. April 14. Golden-c. Sparrow still in Strawberry Canyon.
