June 28 (cont'd)
veered about erratically, and a moment later Dr.
Joel Gustafson, who occupies the 3rd floor room at
the E. end called to me a gave me the 2 birds
which had crashed into the glass pane of the
door of his room facing the porch. Both were
dead, having apparently flown into the glass be-
cause of reflection of the outside view therein.
I prepared one (my cat. # 147), which proved to
be a ♂, and Geo. Treichel did the other, which was
a ♀.
There are still 3+ other singing ♂'s in or near
willow thickets of
the 20+-acre "Cowgell meadow" near the lodge.
