Later in the morning I saw twice an immature Black-
throated Gray Warbler. Throat light, white line above eye,
white outer tail feather - 83° at noon.
Aug. 27. Cool. Several Townsend Warblers were seen
at different times during the day. At 5:45 p.m. a heavy
black fog made it quite dark. I noticed birds
at the pool so stopped to watch them: Bushtits,
3 Townsend Warblers, a Russell's-backed Thrush, a Yellow
Warbler, W. Flycatcher. A moment later two titmice
and a slender-billed Nut-hatch came to the table
for food. Later two nuthatches were on the table
at once. The first appearance of this species at the table.
Aug. 28. A Warbling Vireo was in the varber E. House.
Drove to Boulder Creek in the afternoon; Cloudy.
Also R.R. Thysol, B.B. Wade,
Aug. 29. Cloudy all day. Heard Tanagers calling, lunch at
Santa Cruz. Brown Pelicans, many Cormorants,
gulls and a few ducks.
Aug. 30. Drove over the Skyline Blvd. to San Francisco -
a wonderful road. Cloudy. Two hrs. & 10 min. from
Boulder Creek to S.F. Saw a few Swallows (Cliff.)
Not far south of San Francisco, on a hillside that sloped
down to the E. from the road, in dry grass where a few
cattle were grazing I saw a Roadrunner - not 30 ft. from
the highway. It was walking about in characteristic nervous
attitude. Many hunters seen. Buck are said to be plen-
tiful and easy to get as they have to come lower down for
water.
