3 Song Sparrows, Brown Towhee, Fox Sparrow, Golden-crowned Sparrow,
and several juncos one of which has a white spot half as large as
a dime just back of each eye. [illegible] Thrush still feeding on berries
outside dining-room window (south). It often hovers at the top of
the window pecking either at the upper edge of the pane or at the
casing above. Is it catching spiders? No thrashers about though
last year they fed frequently in this bush so that the berries
were gone soon after Thanksgiving. This year there is a large crop
of berries in the canyons and on the hillslopes wherever we drive.
Have heard a thrasher sing only once during last two months from
the house and then it was so far away as to be almost in
audible.
