Field Notes from the Past #11

Being a continuation of field-journal entries from the springs of 1962 and 1963 when I was a budding ornithologist of just 15 or 16 growing up in the rural village of Galien in Berrien County, Michigan.

April 15 [1963], Monday

No school today because of Easter. I watched a pair of [American] Robins building a nest in the yard for an hour this morning. I hope to make a special study of this pair. I raked the backyard, took the dog for a walk[,] and tightened the fence.
