T. Code 1959 Tewdus migratorius 1 June Peters-Schroder Lakes - two were seen on the west side of Peters on a steep rock stream slope of heath- moors vegetation near some tall willows. Boldly reported seeing a robin about a week ago. 2 June Peters-Schroder Lakes - a nest with 4 eggs was found in the live of willows on the next fan north from the shucks, about midway up on the fan. Next 4 ft off ground on branch hanging over a melt off stream in a willow with a crown of 10 feet. About 150 ft. altitude above lake. Nest of grass and sedge stems and blades - dry - with some lichens mixed in. No lining. 4 only present. Allowed me to approach within 5 ft. A singing bird was twice seen in the same patch of willows on Whistler Creek, but no nest could be found. 3 June Peters-Schroder Lakes - one was seen on the upper point of "Beltz" or on a ridge of rock bawnus type - where there were lots of old even bends. It sat on a rock singing with tail up and head up 4ft. No willow overhanging around at all.
