Dec. Boulder Creek
Feb.20. It varied gently through the night, and there
was sun and showers through the morning.
(On the way home after we started down
the Sanatoga Grade I began to notice robins
flying up from the side of the road (mackin berries
on the ground) and their great flocks of
robins and bandtails flaying among the trees
on the ridge. This continued for about two
miles - esp. from "Smilin' Thro" to the Quarry.
I have never seen such masses of these birds;
they were flying up the valley, across the
highway and up the ridges in great flocks-
Feb.21. Rain in the afternoon. I saw a Varied Thrush (in)
bathing in the E. pool. Cold. Frost in morning.
Dec. 22. Clear, warmer. A Varied Thrush struck a
window in the living room. I picked it up on
the steps below - neck broken. In the evening
we found a "Red-breasted Sapsucker" on the lawn
at the women's Faculty Club.
Dec. 24 Cold. Heavy frost on the buildings across The Canyon.
