2 Sparrows widely separated, q, I think

Barnwell Ave, opp 5 and Adl Bldg. One
White Crown on hedge, sat very still
ate something off a leaf. A bird (sq?)
flew out of bush from behind me. The
bird on hedge immediately began to
trill, jumping wings up & down very
rapidly.
7 March Corner Ellsworth & Channing, Berkeley
Heard White Crown sing once about 7:20 PM
after dark, about 10-12 feet up in a palm tree.
8 March Barncroft, along ath Field, lower part.
Two birds feeding in type of Junipers. One
flew across Barncroft, lit on house roof. (224).
Other remained and fed. Flew from Junipers
to lower shrub, called sharply 3 times.
After a minute called one more. Silent for
several minutes, no response to my squeaking.
Center part same area - Three birds here. One
flew into shrubbery, fought(?) with another,
immediately flew out to cement wall where it
started. One left in shrubbery chipped for
several minutes, jerkin grass. Third bird
trilled in bush under bird on wall. Bird sat
on wall for few minutes, disappeared.
