1926 Sept. 12. Clear, warm - light N. wind. Walked up canyon & Botanical garden. Saw 3 Black-throated Gray Warblers. Hummingbirds as abundant as on Aug. 8; apparently 3 kinds - Anna, Allen, Calliope - in tobaccos fields: diet: Caley Jay, Coast Jay - both abundant - visited elderberry bush with ripening Black Phoebe, Black-throated Gray Warblers, Anna, Allen & Calliopes Hummers, Vigors Vren, Thrasher (singing), Bach-tito, Wren-tits, Linnets, Goldfinch, Purple Finch, Song Sparrow, Titmouse.

Sunny p.m. Autogone in Gk Theater. 17. Black-throated Gray Warbler in oak tree in garden. 19, 20. Very hot - no wind - except a few gusts from N.E. 21. Cooler. Thrasher still imitates Blue-sided Flycatcher but not as well. 22. Cooler. Fog at night. Large flock of quail came into garden. first I have really seen for some time. Titmouse comes frequently for melon seeds. Song Sparrows, 2 Tanlcers and Blue Jays only other birds that come for food and those not often. Brown Towlees are feeding on elder berries - very awkward in efforts to get at berries. Occasional flocks of Brewer Blackbirds have flown over at dawn. Not established yet. 24.
