Inside NW corner Edwards Field, Berkeley track
Pair of birds bee at same place as a pair
last year. One sitting on well. One appeared,
fled in grass. There is one large clump of
vine over top of wall. As I investigated this,
a bird in it gave every indication of having
a nest. Could not locate nest - it may
be on very top of wall.
Inside SE Corner Track Field, Berkeley
A bird under Arbovitae-7 tree seemed nearly much
disturbed! Another (young?) bird in corner bush,
does not appear to be suitable nest sites inside
stadium. These birds have been very quiet -
little today + all spring.
West door Men's Gym, U.C., Berkeley.
A bird singing in tall shrub. It was
here earlier in the year. Also I saw it
early today (it's now 9:20 AM). Looked for a
nest around bottom of the tree earlier,
but could find nothing. With just one
isolated limb, even this size, it seems
unlikely. Bill Mober reports this bird bee
nearly every day. It may be same bird
(probably is) that sings from SE corner Men's Gym.
Beneath along Athletic Field Upper Sec. Nest A.
at 9:30 AM still 2 eggs. Incubation is in
progress - flushed bird off nest. Murtlea
complete set.
Same, Center Section -
at extreme upper part of center section, 2 birds
feeding in grass. One seemed to be W-1 of
last year. Somewhat disturbed when I stopped
to write notes.
