Zonotrichia leucophrys nuttalli

April 1st
Bancroft along 4th, Field Vart A
No change 0615
Greenhouse Area - Vert B
Weighed the one bird at 0630. Weight 3.2 gm.
I don't know whether to trust these scales. (MVZ)
The other egg has not hatched. The bird is
covered with grey down - not completely
covered, but on the head/tupper part of
back. There are black spots showing
through the skin on the head and spinal
region. The bird was gaping when I first
spotted it in the mirror, and as I replaced
it and held the mirror again it gaped.
I do not think I was disturbing any-
things but the branches above and around
the nest - not the nest itself. Its eyes are
not open but there is a small slit.
Inside NW corner Edwards Field
There is a bird singing on the wall. There
is no activity in the assumed nest region.
I shall once again try to locate this nest,
- No luck. It must be along the top
of the wall and I cannot get to it.
There is a bird in this clump.
Tennis courts inside Edwards Field.
In geraniums along end of courts, was a
singing bird. There was some disturbance
when I began to look in geraniums. Now
there is a Gambel sparrow singing from that
fence and other Gambels around. Check again.
Bancroft along 4th Field, Lower Sec, Vart C.
Today there are 5 eggs.
