Turdus migratorius
27 June Juneau, Alaska
1.5 mi N. of Douglas Bridge, W Juneau Rd.
One seen flying from clump
of low bushes on one side
of road to the conifers
on other side of road. It
is rare that a robin is
seen in comparison to
the large flocks that
one is used to seeing in states
28 June Same as above.
A group of about twelve were
seen flying, in a scattered
flock, in the area on the
north side of the road
that had once been burned off
but had now grown up
with alders, blue berries,
eldeberry and salmon
berry bushes. Some of this
flock were seen to fly
into the conifers on the
west side of the road. We
called this new growth area
"the prairie" because of its open
expanse in comparison to the dense woods.
