A thrasher bathed a long time; followed by six Golden-crowns, 2 Song sp. A Fox Sparrow was scratching at the edge of the pool. Oct. 13. A beautiful fresh warm day - Took Bird Section up Strawberry Canyon. When I was returning I saw two Ruby-crowned Kinglets together - one was singing and flashing its ruby crown; the other was fluttering its wings in a teasing way. They kept together all the way from the Prieber place to the Strattons but I could not detect that one fed the other. Couldn't be mating at this time of year. Oct. 14. Another beautiful day. Saw a thrasher in the pool again. Saw a Cassin Vireo in Mrs. Parsons Mt. Ash tree. Went up to the Botanical Garden in the afternoon to look for hummingbirds. Quite a number of the lobelia plants are still blooming but I couldn't find a hummer of any kind about them. I saw an Anna Hummingbird in three different places in other parts of the garden. Many petunias, flowering maples, laurustinus, pansies, violets, and a few geraniums, blue sage etc in full bloom. Many white-crowned Sparrows and a wren that seemed to be a House Wren. Did not see it satisfactorily Jays, Flicker Thrashers, Towhees, a Black Phoebe, B-c Kinglet, Telnouse. Heard a Sparrow Hawk. Oct. 16 Heard Ring O'bler calling across the canyon - 2nd time this fall Oct. 17 A Pueret-backed Thrush called (soft 'grit') repeatedly in the late afternoon. Oct. 18 Beautiful day. Clear, warm. Many Aud Warblers flying high. Buzzard circled Stadium during game. Oct. 25 - Drove to Calistoga, then across to Santa Rosa and home. A brilliant warm day - beautiful colors, red grape vines, yellow/maples Oct. 29 - A whole flock of Ruby Tits came into spray while I was hoeing garden. Oct. 30. Weather still glorious - Occasionally a light northwind - enough to drive away all fog. Ducks spent afternoon near pool. In middle of night I heard the call of a Screech Owl followed by the alarm note and whirring flight of a quail. Then another, then a third. Oct. 31. Still clear and warm. Flock of about 12 quails came to table.
