Jan. 16 U.C. Campus, Berkeley
Adult ? on west side of Wheeler Hall in aerial
display as I walked by. When first noticed
it was diving, and did so about 8 times, by
which time I was standing at the base of the
slope bearing the brush toward some part of which
the dives were directed. At the end
of the last of these dives, it flew to A and
began a typical circle-display, singing, then
flying to B, singing, then back to A, then to C (which brush was the focus of the dives), then
to B, then back to C, within which brush it
progressed in semicircle along E + D side,
addressing song and display to some
point within the brush. By this time I was
standing deep the lower, to west side of
the bush trying to locate the focus of
attention suspected to be a ?. I discovered
an adult ? sitting at the end of a pendant branch,
stiffly and quietly with bill facing upward,
and he remained thus then the time I
moved about. Shortly after locating him I
withrew downslope and watched. In the
meantime, the displaying ? moved to A
