Turdus migratorius
15 May
W Gate of U.C. Campus, Berkeley.
A pair Anolins very tyrannically
guarding a nest, chasing even White
Crowned Sparrows and House Finches from
the area.

Can see 2 well grown young sticking
up on sides of nest.

2214 Haste St. Berkeley Alameda Co. Calif.
Anolin (8?) sitting on roof next door.
The bird was caroling, giving 3-5 short
groups of notes, pausing before next song.
Each time he say, at the beginning of
each group of notes, his tail was
de pressed slightly. He changed position
several times, but the action was always
similar - a lolling of the tail (actually
a dipping) at each group of notes or 3-5
times a song. Most of the time his
wings were not folded back but held
partly open and a little drooped.
