Feb. 24 Hunted on campus 1¼ hrs (6:35 - 7:50 A.M.) Clear quiet morning. Sparrows active and noisy although very wild. Shot 2♂♂ + 1♀. Lost 1♂ in stickle bushes across from Harmon Gym. Others shot near Bacon Hall. No signs of nesting although it is possible that my presence keeps them on the move. Our going to try baiting them. Capture: Eng. Sp. 16 Others 52. H - Feb. 25 - Hunted on campus 1½ hrs (6:30 - 8:AM) Windy and consequently birds were hard to approach. Hunted around N.Y.S. Hall, Bacon Hall, Civil Eng. Bldg. and the Museum Anthropology. Shot two birds, 1♂ and 1♀. Was unable to get to where the male fell. Capture: Eng. Sp. 21. Others 58.
