Woodburn, October 25, 1940, At home. Clear and fresh. I just got in to town from Corvallis and was coming out into the yard to mow and rake it. But ! The trees across the street were literally covered with birds. I looked closer and found them to be Pine Siskins. I had not seen any since last spring at Council Crest in Portland, with Mr. Gilbert. It so happens that there must have been hundreds of Robins in the town also because I walked out into the vacant lot behind our house and the whole piece of ground seemed to get up and fly away. It was a regular cloud of Robins. Later I rode my bike around town and they seemed to be just as thick all over the town. You guess how many there were!
