1930 Jan. 15. Mrs. Riels came for me, and took me to her home in Beverly Hills where I slept most of the time, was given egg nog, silver meals, and generally carried back to somewhere near health. Could not use my left leg so had to use a crutch. Jan. 20. Returned to my sister's house, and on Tuesday went mockingbirds singing - Jan. 24 at night to see her at the hospital. Warm till Jan. 26: Cloudy. Jan. 25. Took the Clal train to Berkeley. Jan. 26. Many ducks on the upper bay - almost all Cans. At home, Varied Thrushes at drinking pool, Jan. 27. Spends very little time in dining room but see the Jan. 30 usual birds. Red berries almost gone! Feb. 1-17 - Warm - 10-17 like summer - too hot to sit in sunshine. Almonds and ornamental shrubs in blossom. Feb. 17. Very warm - Mrs. Blants took me to the Hotel Claremont gardens for an hour where I sat in the shade in a folding chair and watched the birds with her. Bushlits, Vigor Wrens, B-C Kinglets, Song Sparrows (awqui), Purple Finches (full song), Robins, Varied Robins, Hermit Thrushes. Flickers, Audubon Warblers, Cal. & Coast Jays were abundant. A Sparrow Hawk perched on the flag tower pole on the door of the hotel. Hundreds of Cedar Waxwings batted in the spray. They alighted on a banksea rose and feasted what looked like tiny white buds off the ends of the sprays - I went to the arbor and examined the sprays and found these buds were droplets of water which were still clinging though the hose had been moved to the panies bed. Feb. 18 Cooler, Cloudy. Feb. 19 Rain - Feb. 20 -
