Itinerary, etc.
Aug 29
Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
The following are notes that seem of casual significance. Throughout July and early August Cal. Jays were very rare on the west end of
the campus (as far as I know they were rare on the whole campus and throughout town). Aug 18 rain was predicted. Aug. 19 and 20
were cloudy days and it looked like it
should be raining, but it didn't. On the 19th and
20th jays were heard several times around
the Life Sciences Building, 4 or 5 times per day
by me. Since then I have heard them almost
every day on the west end of the campus
and four or five times in town along Oxford St.
or between Oxford and Milvia or near
Cedar or Vine sta. When tits were heard
by me, on the western end of the campus
around July 13 and 14 and occasionally
ever since then. A Calif. Thrasher was reported
at the creek 200 ft s of the Life Science Building
Aug. 24. This morning, Aug. 29, I heard Song
Sparrows singing at home (2019 Vine St.)
and s of L.S.B. more than any many
this fall.
Aug. 30
Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Song Sparrows singing this morning; heard jays 3 times
between home & L.S.B. Last 3 or 4 mornings more crisp than before.
