54 Apr. 5: Clear, cool. Breeze from N.W. Many birds singing at intervals throughout the day. Same species as yesterday including Cassin and Hutton Vires. Two thrashers are near us, one just east of house; one far northwest and usually across Morewood Rd. They seem to alternate as if each one listened to the other. Golden-crowned Sparrows have been (most of them) in full plumage for a week or ten days about. Mrs. Thomas reported many swallows near Blake house. Apr. 6. Clear, warmer. Breeze died down. Celestial Warbler is singing near house first time. Birds very abundant. Apr. 7. Cooler, clear. A Townsend Warbler was singing at 10 a.m. A few Townsend warblers have been passing through and a very few juncos -- not nearly as many as April 4 - 6. Golden-crowned Sparrows have been numerous and singing. Blue sang a response -- q 79 7 > 7 9 , in a very clear whistle, both phrases in the same quality and always in the same sequence -- never overlapping as they probably would have if uttered by two different birds. It gave something the effect of the song of a Hermit Thrush which is still here and was heard singing. Also Fox Sparrows. No Ruby-cr. thrush today. Many robins which take rooms from ground and parts of trees. One Gambel? Sparrow came to bathe and a Treehouse really splashed in the water. Purple Finches are ab. and singing. All are eating worms in bushes except robin. (R- Knight?) Mrs. Hall reported orioles in Lafayette yesterday.
