June 27, 1942 Woodburn - West Woodburn. Watched Brewer Blackbird chase and dive at a Sharp-shinned hawk near the highway. June 28, 1942 Woodburn- Horseshoe Lake and return. Warm and clear. Anthony Green Heron -- Watched one pair of adults a lot and located two young on a log near the shore of the lake. We approached within 20 feet of them when they flew awkwardly headlong into a willow. The limb wouldn't hold the little fellow and he almost fell over backwards. They were a little better than half grown I would say. Also saw a Brewer Blackbird chasing a Crow, that looked like it was carrying an egg in its bill. It outflew the blackbird.
