Merula migratoria. 



1892. Mass . 



July M.Goncprd.- For more than a week Robins have sung most freely Robin's 

 (No. 4) during the day tirae-especially in the af ternoon-and sparingly- not 



or not at all- In the early morning and after sunset. I do not", roosting 

 as yet see any indications of a roost in this neighborhood, yet. 

 There yiere no Robins flying in the birch swamp on the Assabet 

 last evening and I have seen none passing over any of the places 

 where I have been at sunset of late. In fact I am quite certain 

 that the birds of this neighborhood are still roosting singly 

 in the trees near their nests. They come in great numbers every 

 day to a cherry tree behind the house. Some of them take the 

 cherries off In^^ their bills, perhaps to distant nests with yoiing 

 others swallow them whole although they (the cherries) are of a 

 large size, 



(No. 6) Concord .- The Robin's nest near my cabin was empty but the old Young 

 birds came about and scolded me so I concluded that the yo-ung of Robins 

 this their second brood had been safely reared. (I saw the young of 

 next day, bobtails, feeble on the wing, ) second 



brood
