Robins, young and old, are not resorting to
the ripening fruit of Amelanchier. The notes
I hear are nearly all of the "winter" type.
Solitaires, too, are close around camp eating the
"service-berries". A Western House Wren again seen,
in Ceanothus cordulatus.

Aug. 4
Broke camp for good, starting home at 10 a.m.
Lunched about a mile below Dale's. The heat
seemed intense. Plain Tits and Slender-billed
Nuthatches were seeking the best shade in the
creek-bottom; even so, holding their bills widely
open, as if panting. Mourning Doves very
common. Two Gray Squirrels seen; and shelling
places where cones of digger pines had been
dissected.
