1930 - March 28. Saratoga. At dawn the Western Flycatcher was calling and the Warbling Vireo was singing continuously. Hermit [illegible] was singing just under our window where a pair seemed interested in a nesting site in the vine. Golden-crowned sparrows, Hermit Thrush and Kinglet (R.C.) were heard. James and I drove out to the edge of a hill where we could look over the valley, the whole floor of which was white from the prime blossoms. After breakfast we drove on to Boulder Creek. Things were not as far advanced there. Birds were very few - the only summer bird heard was a Warbling Vireo. Several Kingfisher calls were heard. James said he saw a dead salmon about two feet long in the river at the bottom of our lot. The eyes had been removed - otherwise intact. We returned to Saratoga reaching there about 5 p.m. Beautiful warm day - hot in sun - Heliotrope, cream cups and poppies in bloom. Mar. 29. A house-wren was singing in early morning - also the Warbling Vireo. A Chickadee was calling in the woods back of the cottages and a Titmouse in the oaks in front one of few places where I have found both species present. Another clear morning with narrow sunshine. We started home about 9:30. Gathered a big bunch of wild heliotrope. Reached Berkeley at 12 M where we found it quite cool after a heavy fog which was just clearing. The Hermit Vireo's nest looks just as it did Thursday p.m. and I did not hear the birds during the early afternoon.
