May 19. Beautiful warm day. A pair of thrushes seemed to be answering each other below our house. (Vesper Wrens gone, see May 14) May 20. Went again to Saranaps. The Thrashcatcher's nest seems to be complete. We watched twenty minutes or more but saw the birds only twice. First one bird came into the tree but left almost immediately. Twenty minutes later the pair came and one seems to go to the nest and stay a moment. There were many about this nest at the top of an oak. Blackbirds were feeding young apparently just out of the nest. One young bird remained motionless on a branch for some time. The Robin's nest was found near where the male was singing on Apr. 29. - The nest was in a peach tree about 8 ft from ground. Birds not seen on Apr. 29 were: Zual (many), Flicker, Nuttall Alamo and Willow Woodpecker, Hudson Warbler, Cassin Vireo (beyond Alamo), Lark Sparrow (beyond Alamo) and Red-winged Blackbird, Barn, and Violet-green Swallows at Mt Diablo Country Club. Total: Also Rough-winged Swallows at Lafayette. Total - 44 species. First bird since Nov. May 21. Saw a Horned Lark on Skyland Boulevard. Warm. Went to Cooper Club meeting. Flew high across canyon toward N. May 22. Warm. A W. Tanager was seen and heard (call note) near house. A family of titmice (6-8) fed in the oaks from 10 a.m. to noon. Young huddled for food but were fed by parents also. Most of them were calling all the time, the young giving an especially excited call when they were fed. Allen H., Thrush, W. Flycatcher & Lutescent W. came to investigate. The House Wren drove one away that came into the oak against the house at the south. A Vesper Wren investigated the big Flicker box on the house (high up on south), sang, went in, came out, sang many times. Then went to the house wrens' box, looked in cracks from roof, alighted on porch but seemed afraid to really look in at the opening. Flew away and sang. The House Wren was not at home at the time, not sitting yet.
