Richardson 1937
Western Robin (Turdus migratorius propinquus)
May 26, 1937 c. 1 mi. up Warner Valley, Oregon - A nest of this species found about 12' high in one of a small group of large cottonwoods. (See comment of May 26 under Western House Wren) A study of the nesting sites of other robins in this canyon, might prove of interest.
June 21, 1937 - 3 mi. W Paulina Lake, Deschutes C., Oregon - This species, though seen at various places since its about notation, has not been common. However, in this region they are relatively common due to a concentration near Paulina Creek. This is the only creek or even running or standing water, in the whole mountain area. Tentatively there is a food relation as to meadow or stream-side, but this was not definitely ascertained. No robins have been seen or heard except in the vicinity of the stream.
