Song Sparrow liberated in M.V.G. Court 12:20 P.M. 12/8, near western entrance to court. Flew immediately at height of about 20 ft. to N.E. "L" of court, where it alighted on Second story window ledge on west side of "L." Almost immediately began to climb? building by fluttering upwards and clinging to rough projections of walls, and also to window projections. Reached window ledge of third floor at 12:25; remained there five minutes and then flew directly across L to window ledge on fourth floor of east side of court. Remained there, with occasional short flights to projection of window about two feet above, until 1:15, when it flew down to second story window ledge below, and about 40 ft. South. The last I saw of the sparrow, at 1:20, it was fluttering against the window panes, apparently trying to get inside. Bill Miller fed it in court?
