The robins Turdus migratorius I have seen are the western but a specimen taken by Robbins has the white tips of outer tail feather very distinct. In catching the large (1/2 inch long) water beetles water beetles today I noticed that I could not catch them at all by grabbing at them as they rested on the surface of the water, but never failed when I dipped my hand quickly but quietly beneath them and scooped them up. Very few clouds through the day, rather warm , sprinkled a little in evening.
