Banks, K.C. 1456 Song Sparrow 2 March S. side Cafeteria One song sparrow chipping in low junipers and on railing. 4 March E. side Wheeler Hall - as I came all was quiet. Then bird at NE corner Wheeler began to sing. After 3 or 4 songs, a bird sang at SE corner, moved to center of wall. Both were quiet after a few more songs. Bird in center sang some very weak songs. There was now a pair of birds in center, possibly a pair at NE corner. There are definitely 2 pairs of birds here. The boundary seems to be a little North of the center of the building.
