Calyptra anna
1957
21 July Queens Rd, Berkeley
weeks, still underway. Arg intermittently,
full bodied song; generally quiet and
at times, in past week, suspiciously
unresponsive to intruders. One,
appeared, moved abt garden, or
chipped, intruder approached, perched
within about 15-20 inches of, w/constant,
chipping at moderate tempo.
Intruder then moved to another
perch above the B, again about 15-20
inches; a close ensued. On another
occasion as intruder passed by, B
chipped,
remained perched and as the
intruder was just passing it, B
flashed his wing out once, chipping
a few more times and calming forth.
On several occasions, a brief intrusion
into the territory must have been
evident to the B, because I saw
sounds and movements, but no close ensued. In general, the few
chases which occurred were responses,
only to rather persistent or protracted
stimulus.
Since about July 10, a mole has
been present in Dunwoody next to a
large fuchsia, around a corner of
the house, about 100 feet away.
