photo taken about 30 years after the preceding aerial, showing a mowed -- but divided -- Oval with tangential areas containing more trees and the open space beyond the central campus slightly diminished. Note: Lake Lagunita in upper right [ * ]

At about this time, (1954) the revised record of commonly seen campus birds still lists 71 species, noting:

"...bird life at Stanford as described in the text has changed but little since 1931.
However, Western robins [American Robins] now nest regularly on the campus."
