Robin
26 Jan. Barnst by Men's Gym, U.C. Campus - large
flock feeding on berries of Cotonaster. Flew
back and forth to Unitarian church yard/curves
street. Suddenly all movement stopped except for a
warning like note from robin. Most birds
dropped out of sight, but a few sat on cycle
fence. Movement at least rapid or long moves,
not evident for several minutes, but notes and
snatches of song increased soon.
10 Feb. Main entrance Apts. Bldg. - Robin chased
song sparrow off singing perch. I think
this was accidental, as Robin was just
flying by.
13 Feb. Bancroft Street clay ath. Field - feeding
on berries - seen less frequently, often
accompanied by Cedar Waxwings, as they
were this day.
24 Feb. U.C. Campus - lots of Robins today.
7 Mar. U.C. Campus - Robin singing this
morning. First time I've heard Robin
giving full song in earnest, this year.
9 Mar. Robin's singing again today.
Eshleman Rd & of Adam Bldg. - large flock
of birds including Robin, Cedar Waxwings,
Barnst Thrushes feeding on berries.
16 Mar. Eshleman Rd - a Robin, I think,
with at least 2 outer primaries on right
wing, maybe some under wing coverts,
alone
9 Aps. Behind Wesley Foundation, Bancroft House -
Robin gathering nesting material. Flew into
large live oak with mouthful of grass + weed
stems.
