- March 21 - Went on campus 1 1/2 hrs (6:25-7:55AM) Clear cold morning. Birds all very active. Eng. Sparrows particularly shy. Only succeeded in getting 1 shot and bagged a F. Saw several small flocks, flying high, cross over from city streets into campus and back again: apparently they move about quite a little. Bacon Hall again the home of several. Census Eng. Sp. 21 Others 142 - March 22 - Went on campus 2 hrs. (6-8A.m). Caught the ground thoroughly and only succeeded in getting two shots, killing 1F which dropped in thick brush along park bottom back of Harmon gym & was lost. At least 6 of the Eng. Sp. seen, were seen to fly upon the campus from Telegraph ave. Others were seen flying out, hence there appears to be a more or less steady movement back and forth.
