July 12. W. Flycatchers left nest under porch. Families of Grosbeaks and Virginias move about. Many birds come for the cherry plums - Sp and Br Towhees, Thrush, grosbeaks. Willow Woodpecker came into garden again. July 13 - James heard a Red-breasted Nuthatch in the cypress trees near the garage. Beautiful warm weather. Very hot in Sac- ramento etc. July 14, 15, 16 - Lovely weather - A little fog in early morning July 15 - fog July 22. We left Berkeley soon after lunch and drove to Sacramento via Antioch Bridge. It was foggy in Berkeley and very windy at the bridge and up the other side. At the bridge there were Song Sparrow, Kingfisher a few barn and cliff swallows, a kiltieer, and an Egret. As we drove up the levee above Isleton a Red-bellied Nuthatch flew over, the breast very red. Had dinner in Sacramento then drove on to Auburn where we spent the night. Today was cool for the Sac. Valley but the night was quite warm and breathless at Auburn. July 23. Drove back to New Castle then through Lincoln to Marysville (Peaches ripe everywhere) and on to Oroville where we had lunch at a very fine new hotel. After lunch we started out to Dunway over a fair road as far as Merriamuc. From there to Buck's Valley the road was rough, very steep (down) and winding. Had a blow-out soon (Liebard Sieppard Hermite Thrush line) after we left Merriamuc, and had to drive the rest of the way to Dunway without a spare tire. At Buck's Meadow barn dams have been built and a beautiful lake could be seen from the highway. From there the road is better, but narrow and on a shelf part of the way, then very steep down to Dunway. Dunway lies in a beautiful green valley, golf fields in the meadow, beautiful farms and flowers and a prosperous looking village. A new hotel gave us very comfortable rooms (twin beds, private bath etc) and fair meals but not equal to rooms.
