July 24. Watched birds while the tires were being replaced. In the meadow above the hotel there were lapuli thrushings and a Trail Flycatcher still actively calling its 'Trup-a-de-ers'. What I supposed was a hummingbird which flew to a patch of petunias turned out to be a hummingbird moth - three of them at once - Olive-sided Fly-catcher, robin, Chipping Sparrows, Linnet, Goldfinches, Eastfield Sp and two Cliff Swallow nests were found. We drove on over an excellent road to Mohawk where we had lunch. There in the meadows was another Trail Flycatcher - also Kingfisher blue birds chickadees, cliff swallows etc. The road on from Blawdin to Clio was very steep. Not proud out to Sattle, through the Sierra Valley (many Mt. Bluebirds) and on to Truchee. We spent the night at Cisco where two Night hawks were flying very low over the buildings just before dark. While waiting July 25 for a week ahead to be cleared just before reaching Cisco I saw a Water Angel on the Yuba river below. July 25. A cool, crisp morning. Before leaving I saw the following birds Robin, Lavager, Fox Sp (singing), White cr. Sp. (singing), Green-b. Goldfinches (in flocks), Sierra junco's (singing), Siskins, Calloope Hummers, Paleolot Warblers, Wood Pewee, Blue-fronted Jay, Chickadee, Black-headed Grosbeak Basset-backed Thrush, and Cassin Purple Finch. We stopped for lunch at Bishopsgate (above Auburn) where I saw goldfinches, bluebirds (valley), Ash-throated Flycatcher, Wrentit, Linnet, Oriole, Sp. Towhee, Br. Towhee, Titmouse, Caley Woodpecker, Cassin Vires (call note clipped), Bush tit - Yellow Warbler. Reached home in time for dinner. Very windy along Lower River and up this side to Walnut Creek. July 26. Learned that Mr. Joralemon is ill at Saratoga so after lunch drove down there. Beautiful weather there. Chickadees & Olive-sided Flycatcher in hotel garden, young Anna Hummers
