1930 May 5. Mrs. Learners tooks Mrs. Blake, Mead & myself to Inverness. At the first stop at a ranch back of San Quentin where the Blue Herons nest we saw a White-tailed Kite in an oak tree. It flew across the little opening between the hills several times alighted at the top of one of the oaks and in the center of another. We saw no mate and I could not walk to the trees to look for a nest. At our first stop on Paper Mill Creek we saw Creepers and heard them sing. We took a cross road from Olema which took us near the ranch at opening into Bear Valley, then between marshes where we found Tule Wrens and the Yellowthroat.
