1929. July 29. Western Flycatchers feeding second brood in nest under porch. Weather foggy. July 30. Rained a little last night. Drove to Bards Creek with Mrs. Paine and her daughter. Sunshine from San Jose on. Spent night at Ben Lomond Lodge. July 31. Went to see our lot. Saw Water Angel at dam at lower end. Prominent birds: Siskins, Chickadees, Creepers, Quail. On way home stopped at Saratoga for lunch, Stanford University (many Cliff Swallows about the buildings), San Mateo Bridge, Dublin Canyon, San Ramon Valley and Tunnel Road - a very beautiful drive all the way - Aug. 2. Crested Jays near our house. Vigor Vireos, in families, singing songs. Aug. 9. A Cassin Vireo came into the trees next the north porch. The Western Flycatchers which are still feeding young in the nest under the porch tried to drive him away but he kept coming back till he came within five feet of where I stood. Thrasher near home. Aug. 16. Several Yellow Warblers came into the trees in the front garden while we were at lunch. Finally one flew over to the big window where he caught a small insect. The Titmouse has been coming for melon seeds every day lately. Sooty-headed Warbler sang after many weeks silence. Aug. 12. Drove to Sonora, leaving Berkeley at 1:20 p.m. Killdeer near Morning Doves, Lark Sparrows, California Warblers irrigated lands above Oakdale. Thrushes heard in early morning of Aug. 13. Not from San Ramon Valley on - though Berkeley was in dense fog - a change from 66° to about 100°. Aug. 13. Left Sonora about 9:20, intending to reach Carl Inn at noon. Road much steeper and hotter than we expected - progress slow. Very dry - no streams except in larger rivers. Driest hill graded everly but hot and dry - and long.
