1941 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.
