Mayhew 1947 May 28 Western Robin 37. U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. thel nest. He uttered 2 or 3 more notes from this position before flying & another tree about 100 feet south. AT 3:05 P.M. the @ returned & the lawn about 50 feet south of the nest. He uttered 3 more single notes, ran about 20 feet closer to the tree, uttered 2 more notes, then flew to a branch of the tree about 15 feet from the nest. The @ then flew & the ground about 30 feet from the nest, & the @ flew to the west edge of the nest & fed the young. From here I can't tell how many of them he fed. AT 3:07 P.M. he flew down & the lawn about 10 feet from the @, who a moment later flew about 150 feet farther south-west, landing on the edge of the lawn. A moment later the @ followed her. At 3:09 P.M. the @ returned to the nest, fed the youngsters, then settled on the nest facing north-east. A moment later, a Brown Towhee landed on a branch about 30 feet from the nest, but the @ Robin paid no attention.
