March 18 Hunted on campus 2 hrs. (6-8 AM) made a pretty thorough survey went around Culici St. Gate, Ag. Hall and our several routes. The Eng. Sp. was back at Bacon Hall but left as soon as I shot one. An individual ahead of me was able to pass within 40 ft. of 3 sparrows which I could not approach, hence they are able to recognize me. Killed 4, 2♂ and 2♀ and wounded 1♂. Lost 1♂+1♀, but in 2. The other species were in such great numbers among the Olive Trees near Ag. Hall that I was unable to take a census of them. Eng. Sp. 23.
