Diary Jgg? Bird Watchei W i . . lf iiuuuui -j Wednesday, August 27 Today on the homeward leg of our California vacation trip we drove to the Monterey peninsula and stopped at Pacific Grove. We took the famous 17-mile-drive from there to Carmel. Although at first we felt a slight resentment at paying a dollar for this scenic drive the feeling quickly passed away as we enjoyed to the full. this magnificently beautiful stretch of coastline. Along the drive there is an off shore rock called "Bird Rock." On it we saw the Brandt's cormorants that we were supposed to see. We had seen cor morants other times along the coast but felt more sure of the species this time. My wife was fascinated by the many attractive shops in Carmel but I got off pretty cheaply this time laecause we ar rived there just a half hour before closing time. As we were standing in front of an art gallery that had just closed she said to me, "What birds are those?" Some were the familiar acorn woodpeckers but others were little nuthatches. I ran to the car after our binoculars and luckily they stayed for us to look at them. They were pygmy nuthatches, the first we had seen for several years. They are supposed to be found in our county but we have never yet seen them in it. Thursday. August 28. - , This morning while I was having the car lubricated I walked down to the shore and succeeded in seeing a couple of birds tht were new for the trip, a pigeon guillemot, which is an ocean bird with a white wing patch and bright, red feet, and a surf -board, which feeds on the rocks along the shore. Later we drove a short distance to San Jose. Friday. August 29 Today we. drove from San Jose to a motel near Willows. This time we got there early enough that I had time to take off by myself and visit the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. This is the ninth place mentioned in Pettingill's "Guide to Bird Finding" that I have visited on this trip. I saw interesting birds at every one, .of .them too.

Until it first appeared in the 17th century, backs of -upholstered chairs had been made of flat panels op rounded pieces of wood. The slats resembling a ladder, broke the design monotony and vert kinder to the human anatomy than earlier chair backs A modern version by A. Brandt Co., Inc. is of "ranch oak" with a leather seat and loose cushion. just teemed with ducks. My main difficulty was that most of them sat on ponds that were obscured from the road by cat tails. Another trouble is that they were hard to recognize in their eclipse plumage. Eventually I got good views of some. Pintails' were the most numerous. Not so numerous but more interesting to me were the different kinds of herons I saw:' great blue, black crowned night, bitterns, and both kinds of grets, the small snowys and the larger "common" egrets which we have not found to be nearly so common.

We were in no great rush so. we stopped a few times along the way. The most in teresting stop for birds was near Mt. Shasta. There I took a short walk into the chapparal and among a few trees and ran into one of those mixed flocks ot birds you often see in late summer.' There were a number of band-tailed pigeons, evi dently feeding on some kind of berries. I also saw tanagers, Cassin!s finches, mountain bluebirds and two kinds of war blers." Nashville' and Audubon's. AH Vacations are fun but this was even better than most. We saw a lot of country, a few good friends, a very special part of our family, and a lot of birds. Our trip list was 137 of which 44 were new for the year and 7 or 8 new for life. There are expert bird men who have identified more species in a single day than we did in three weeks, butyou don't have to be the best at anything to have fun, and we had a great trip. Home looked good, too, as it always does after a trip. " , Sunday, August 31 I noticed there were a lot of birds around the home place, but nearly all of them seemed to be young ones in nonde script plumage. There were a lot of yellowish warblers, which could have been any one of three or four species. I did pick out some Nashvilles with the white eye ring. I also thought I identified a western flycatcher in the big oak, which brought my year list to 240, because I had not found one before. - 1 . . ... . Thursday, .September 4 I've been getting busy again but off and on I take a look at the birds on the home place and since getting back I now have 32. species on the home list. A chat is one of the more unusual ones. It is in the warbler family, but much larger than most of them and makes a variety of noises like a mock ingbird, only it is more silent at this time, like most of the others.-T.M.
