May 4, 1947 "Poison Oak" Lake, 3 - 6 p.m. Wood Ducks - 1 pair seen Vulture Pheasants crowing Killdeer Bandtails - 7 flew over Flicker Wood Pewee Olive-sided Flycatcher Long-tailed Jay Oregon Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch Robin Russet-backed Thrush - 5 in the woods and brush Bluebirds Yellow Warblers Audubon Warblers MacGillivray Warbler - a couple Chipping Sparrows common May 5, 1947, Corvallis, Oregon Vaux Swift - Dr. Gordon told me about some he'd seen at a residence where they have congregated in years past, and so I checked their arrival to agree with those I heard on Saturday at Woodburn. I saw 7 altogether. Robin Nest on west side of D. Fir, NW corner of Kidder Hall on the campus, with a west and north exposure, getting the afternoon and evening sun. It was on a horizontal limb at 5 feet above the ground, and this limb more or less protruded out into the open more than the other limbs. There was a canopy of twigs over the nest, too. There was one rather discolored egg and two young of about equal size in the nest. They had reddish skin, with blackish down coming out, mostly down the dorsum of the back, and on the wings, the head still being quite bare. Pin feathers were about 1/4" long on the wings. They would not open their eyes while I banded them (41-23l05l and 52). The adults were present, and the female continually dived at my head, scolding viciously all the while. She had been at the nest, but not on it, when I found it. Girls gym classes are always around this tree all day, and so there is no end of activity around the nest. This was at 7 615 p.m. Found two other nests in locust trees on the west side of the armory. One was at 9 feet, and the other 11 feet. Both on horizontal limbs, and on the south side/ from the trunk, both well-shaded. English Sparrow - nest with young at 35 feet on the north side of the Women's Gym or Museum building, under the eaves, on the end of a rafter. Both parents were carrying food at 7 p.m.
