Feb. 25. Boulder Creek. Much warmer. No frost. Large flocks of
(Catkins?)
pine Siskins were feeding on seeds on the older trees.
Hutton Vireo was singing continuously.
Feb. 27. Yarn talk on how to attract birds to the garden before
the "Earth Worms".
Feb. 28. Bird Love (adv.) went to Berkeley Country Club. Large
flocks of Pine Siskins in eucalyptus trees, did not circle
out as one flock but in small loose groups. Saw a
few single ones on the ground. Learned song and different
calls. Cool with fog early, later clear. Many meadow
larks singing also robins & finches on ground. One juncos
perched low sang repeatedly its trill. Saw also Hermit
Thrush, one jay, Anna Hummer (full plumaged male),
Song Sparrow, Nuttall Sparrows (both singing).
At home in late afternoon a junco was singing its varied
goldfinch - like song, perched in a low hazel bush within
ten feet of where I was working.
