- Northwestern Robin.
Feb. [February] 23, 1936. Victoria, B.C. [British Columbia]
Occassional [occasional] flocks of robins
have been here all winter
but the recent snows have
brought most of them into
the city. Here they are eating
all remaining mountain ash,
hawthorne, holly + other berries.
I notice that they will not
eat the snow for water.
Two small puddles in a
vacant lot near the museum
are swarming with robins.
They come down to drink the
muddy water.
Out at Lost Lake today
the robins were eating
arbutus berries. In no
case have I seen them
take either rose haws or
snowberries though both
are much more abundant
in some areas than are the
arbutus berries.
U.B.C. [University of British Columbia] Sept [September] 16/40 [1940]
Robins very excited + moving
southward + erratically in large
flocks. Storm brewing.
