Song Sparrow
3,
10 Feb. Along creek just N. of Wilson, E. of Res. Rd.
bridge. Songs alternated for a while. Only
footbridge soon singing violently, often.
Roadbridge I stopped. I saw foot bridge
bird, not the other one. Both were quiet
after a few minutes. I squeaked by foot
bridge. I started to sing from near road
bridge, fairly loud, from ground near
foot of live oak. When all became
quiet, I squeaked again. Road bridge I
answered with song, from fartha away.
Saw a bird above foot bridge, but it did
not sing. Probably the boundary of these
2 birds is not determined yet. My
presence may have inhibited foot bridge
bird. This is probably the one I watched
several days ago.
Soon heard me
singing S. of road bridge, Probably
roadbridge bird if before.
13 Feb. Main entrance Apr. Bldg., campus.
Bird sitting, singing in Rhynj, same
location as before.
N.E. corner Univ. Dr. + Hayland
One bird singing in low shrubs. Sang
only a few times.
Steps to Calif. Hall, on side of L.S.B.
A song sparrow singing in tree line. Another
bird flew in, first bird flew to Rhynj,
by flagpole, sang twice, walked a
little. Then 2 birds flew toward
Blue Spruce by N.E. Corner L.S.B.
Across street from S.E. corner Wheeler Hall.
Very sensitive bird. Along high bank of
stream.
