Flicker, Hummingbird (female Anna?), Ash-throated Flycatcher (heard),
Olive-sided Flycatcher (very close view - in same tree as I went up
and again when I returned), W. Wood Pewee, Stellar Jay,
Calif. Purple Finch, Green-backed Goldfinch, Junco, Sp. Towhee,
Grosbeak, Western Tanagers, Swallows, W. Vireo, Carson Vireo,
Black-throated Grey Warbler, Plain Titmouse, Chickadee, Bush-tit

As we drove past the swimming pool on leaving
camp in the afternoon I caught a glimpse of swallows
over the pool and later added Brown Towhees to the list.
Got back to camp for an eight o'clock breakfast and spent
the rest of the day trying to keep cool. It was too
hot to even think of walking across to the main
stream as I had hoped to do. Returned to Los Angeles,
driving from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
July 13. Took the Daylight Shore-lime Limited to Watsonville Junction,
leaving Los Angeles at 8 a.m. Saw a bit of Santa Barbara
as we passed through, fallen chimneys, the hotel with
rooms missing one side etc. etc., the result of the recent
earthquake (June). N. of Santa Barbara we came into
a land breeze which sent the white caps blowing
back toward the sea. At many points along the shore
we saw groups of cormorants beside Brown Pelicans,
Gulls and Cormorants. Paso Robles was exceedingly hot.
James met us with the new Chevrolet at Watsonville Jct.
