At home Fawagaro still about. May 10. Heard W. Flycatcher 6:30 a.m. May 11. Still cloudy, chilly. As I was planting out seedlings in bed under dining room window I discovered a W. Flycatcher on the bough which stands upright in angle of house. Later one W. Fly- catcher chased another past me with much snapping of bills. Later still I found the nest that had just been built under the porch, lying bottom up on the slips below. I placed it on the bough where I had last seen the birds. (Birds did not return to either site) High fog in Berkeley all day. Warmer in Contra Costa. May 12. Last trip of the City Club Spring Series. Went to Tye Creek near Saranap, Alamo's and Drabbs Country Club. When we stopped at Tye Creek we found a (8-10?) family of Slender-billed Mitehatches flying about. Young were creeping about on the oak branches but fed by parents also. A pair of Lawrence Goldfinches seemed to be building in the main crotch of a large Valley Oak. Two Oak Ash-Throats flycatchers were in the Walnut orchard. Ellis' birds as on former trips, Orioles building in mallotuse Yg. Blackbirds out of nest - Linnet brooding 5 eggs. Saw Chippings Sparrow.
