Woodburn, Oregon October 13, 1940 11:30 to 12:45 p.m. Went on my bicycle. Gill's Grove at south end. Weather still warm and clear (perfect) After I got back from Pudding River I stopped in at home to see if there was anything that had to be done, but as there wasn't, and the weather was so swell, I started out on my bike just to look around town, and finally ended up in Gill's Grove. Birds I saw were: Lutescent Warbler White-breasted Nuthatch Seattle Wren Chickadee China Pheasant Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Red-breasted) Flicker Golden-crown Kinglet Song Sparrow Towhee Junco Green-backed Goldfinch Robin Meadowlark Killdeer The first thing I did when I walked in on the trail into the woods was to scare out a Chinee Cock and Hen. The woods seemed to be plumb full of Chickadees and Nuthatches. Almost every tree I looked at had two or more chickadees and one nuthatch on its trunk. There were many birds flitting around in the grove, but they were so high that I did not get a chance to see them. This grove is a mixture of Chestnut, Sycamore, Locust, Elm, Maple, Oak, Serviceberry, Madrone, Hazel, Blackberry, and many other imported and unnatural trees and brush. This makes it a good place to find some stragglers from the far places to stay, where they have plants like their home country. This is the only place within miles of Woodburn that has such an abundant mixture of tree and undergrowth.
