Lake Co. and Redwood Highway - May 21-25, 1929. May 21. Left Berkeley at 3 p.m. and drove to St. Helena, taking Mr. and Mrs. Qualemon with us. Pleasant weather in Berkeley and quite balmy in Napa Valley. Had dinner and spent night at "Gray Gables". In the early morning (dawn) there was a great chorus of birds including robins, grosbeak, warbling vireo, yellow warbler, green-backed goldfinch, chipping sparrow, linnet and brown tanager, all presumably meeting in the trees in the garden or in the great white oak tree at the entrance. Started on about 9 a.m. - a high fog hid Mt. St. Helena & Howell Mt. Drove above the fog about half way up the mt. Forests from St. Helena to Calistoga consist of blue oaks, madrones, a few yellow pines, redwood (white?) oaks, manzanita, spurrey and maple. On Mt. St. Helena, digger pines, spruce, madrone, maple, buckeye, bay, myrica, yellow pine and a few short leaved pines (var.?). Ceanothus (blue) in full bloom and a few bush poppies, clarkia, agale and cedars. Saw also what looked like small junipers. On the east side of the mountain there were blue oaks and digger pines again; blue pentstemon and phacelia. Judas trees became prominent as we approached Lower Lake - also /harvest Brodiaea, wild grape, white and yellow mariposa lilies, low yellow lupine (not bush), and white yella Santa. Stayed at Clear Lake Tavern where we got thoroughly warmed through with the temperature 92° in the shade at 2 p.m. Drove about a little in late afternoon and evening. May 23. I got up early and watched birds in different places near Austin. Everything is very dry, the creek at Austin's empty and the lake 4 ft. lower than last year. No chat there. Added to list of May 17, 1928: S creach Owl but found no thrasher, Anna Hummer or Lawrence Goldfinch. Did not go out on the lake so found no ducks. We started to Laleport about 9 a.m. driving via Keelerville. Thrush were very green there, orchards (esp. pear) very thirsty and water birds more abundant than
