gutter on to the sidewalk- Elizabeth Paine caught
them and put them on the bank where the
parents collected them. Blue jays were
feeding young (calling loudly) in wall trees
next to Faculty Club.
May 12. A Blue Jay which was taking food
from the table was tackled by another
jay. Both birds fell to the ground under
the table with their feet clenched, lying
on their backs or sides. After a minute
or two one broke away, the other
flying after. Later, when I put out
fresh bread, crumbled up, a large
bright-plumaged jay packed eight pieces
in his bill, and flew away with it.
a moment later, another less bright
came timidly, looked about carefully,
took one piece and flew just before
the 1st bird returned for another load.
Probably two broods are being fed. Brown
Forkhills attack the jays whenever they
go S. E. of big oak tree.
May 13, 14, 15 warm.
May 16. Fog. Titinirri about box again.
May 17. Dave talk before Fruitvale Women's
Club.
