H.W. Grimmell - 1925 Mineral, 4800 ft July 19 hidden by a luxuriant growth of needles. It contained two newly-hatched young and two eggs. A few hundred feet beyond the chipping-sparrow's nest I flushed a green-tailed towhee from her nest. I heard the flit of wings as she dived off the nest and down into the brush. When at least six feet away from the nest she began to scold. The nest contained three eggs and was about three feet above the ground near the southern edge of a fine clump of ceanothus. Birds are much quieter than a week ago. Fox-sparrows sing occasionally but I have found no recent nestings. Yesterday I searched the thickets very carefully near the perch of a singing bird, and found a nest from which the young had long flown. A Scinia hermit thrush sings daily down near where J.G. found a nest on June 13 (see J.G. notebook pages 2498 and 2504) and where three out of a brood of four were raised.
