Turdus migratorius
31
7 May N. Men's Fac. Bldg. - A nest in the
fork of a tree about 25 feet high.
11 May NE corner Men's Fac. Club - This
bird (♀) was sitting on nest. All of a
sudden it left. It flew W about 40
feet before chasing a Fox Squirrel.
It flew at it with a loud wing
fluttering, veered off, and attacked
again! I did not see it actually
hit the squirrel. It chased it out
and around the nest and about 80
feet beyond the nest. Immediately
after squirrel was out of area she
returned to nest. About 5 min.
later it flew to nest, & flew off.
Then young raised heads and were
fed. B left shortly after feeding.
The young appear to be at least a
week old (from my position 30 ft.
away). I did not hear any sounds
from either young or adults.
