June 10 Late to bed last night, but up + out fairly early this a.m. Got 8 sparrows, and with the 3 shot last evening had quite a job today. Got it done, however. Picked up a few more garter snakes about 5pm. Today was sunny, warm but with a cool breeze blowing most of the day. Now it is very still. This is quite a pleasant spot. New finds today: Belted Kingfisher, Cowbird, Allen Hummingbird, Western Woodpe- nee, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Brewer Blackbird, Band Tailed Pigeon, Great Blue Heron, Raven, Downy Woodpecker. The major shrub in the pastures here, from which I am getting most of my specimens, seen by the putres in Jepson's to be of the genus Lotus (Leguminosae), but I don't know for sure. Barn Swallow + Cliff Swallow both nesting around Jepson's place + the one at the end of the road. //// A bright sunny morning. But 8 sparrows + a Black-capped Chickadee was back in camp at 10. About 4:30 it started to mist then drizzle, now it is raining, but not hard. It looks like it will continue, tho. Will be not collecting
