249 1930 Gambel Sparrow 6/10/280. This was brought into M.V. 9. in apparently a dying condition, by a boy who had saved it from other boys who were about to kill it. Was lively when released 11/7 '32 at S. Men-tit 91519. This bird is now at least 8½ yrs. old. Snapped 12/3 '32 in same compartment of M.B.S. a two-compartment cage with Fox Sparrow 6/16/138 Sharp-shinned Hawk which killed quite a number of birds in my traps, was captured by me 12/7 '32 in a pole trap. I killed it - gave to museum. Men-tit 689428. While this bird was in my gathering cage, it repeatedly gave its call (or song). Not the one with the bill, but what Mary Brichton thinks is the female calling the male. There was another men-tit close by in the brush, by the trap which 689428 was caught. Men-tit 91519 Repeated again 2/14 '33 in same location. Band still in perfect condition, Mary Brichton attacked two B.S. red celluloid bands, to right leg, one above and one below the B.S. band. I then released it close to where it was trapped. Weight 14.9 gm. Fox Sparrow 6/16/138. Right leg recently cut off. Blood on feathers. Band placed on left leg. Nicaragua Jay 5-88913. Repeated at B 3/8 '33, a small dell was attached to the band, by a fine copper wire, and the jay was liberated an hour later at C.S. Bldg. (See P. 250)
