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.
At 3:18 P.M. the @ flew from the nest & the
lawn about 40 feet south of the tree, uttering a
single note. The @ was about 10 feet from
the place she landed. Both became occupied
in finding worms. The @ worked about 100 feet
south-west of the nest. At 3:20 P.M. the @
flew & the nest, fed one youngster, ate one.
