1929 Aug.15. W. Flycatchers have left nest. Many quail can be heard in fresh near house - Grosbeak heard. Wrentits and Vachites very numerous- Titmouse. More birds here than anywhere on the Yosemite trip. Aug.16 Jays very noisy. Sunny but cool. Aug.19 Family of Western Flycatchers in oaks south of house - Came into Spray of hose which was hanging over the Woodward's Firmo- Family of Hutton Vireos above drinking fountain at lunch time. Several robins near Wilbur. Aug.22 Whistle of thrush is heard occasionally - very soft. Large flock of bush tits gave concerted alarm call when hawks flew over. Have noticed a similar note given by a few in the flock several times during past week - at times when I could discover no source of alarm. It seems almost as if this note is used when the flocks are being disciplined into winter form - perhaps by the adult birds only. But yesterday call was mean- rulious, I think - given by adults and young. Aug. 23-31 Have heard Willow Woodpeckers frequently. Lutescent W. sang occasionally. Song Sp., Vigors War and Thrasher sang freely - esp thrasher which sang almost continuously in early morning for an hour or two. Heard Tanager two different days. On Aug.29 a full grown young robin was calling out teasing for food as it followed the parent. Spotted Towhees are feeding young still giving call of baby birds - pretty well grown. Beautiful weather with a feeling of fall and on Aug.31 a few geese of east passed. Sept.1 Heard calls/toto of grosbeak and thrush - also willow woodpecker. Birds more conspicuous than a week ago. Japanese Crues in bloom. Sept.3 Heard notes of shore birds (not killdeer, sandpipers, Curlews or br.plorer) yellow legs a light note, seagullled Turnstones or Surf Birds - flybag overhead as I walked down Morsewood Road about 8 p.m.
