Marshall, (140 Pipilo maculatus UC campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. March 3, 5:15 PM. Clear, calm, sunny. In eucalyptus in valley between Haviland & Library a soft song heard: peep, peep, peep-peep-peep, 5 notes separate, in increasing speed; each similar in quality to the ordinary call of the robin (see see see-cook-cook) but lacking the inflection & explosive quality of the robin's note. A little less than 2 seconds' duration, same pitch as robin's ordinary single call. Each song given about 3-5 or more sec. after previous one. Cowhee seen about 30' up in eucalypt. on open twig near trunk. Perched upright, tail vertical, head held high & bill pointing slightly upward at each song. Body wobbles or swells at each note. Presently moved to higher limb where sang about 5 more times, this time only 3 or 4 notes in succession. Many robins in tree, calling with 2 or 3 notes. Also many siskins & Calif. Purple Finches feeding on blossoms. A J
