27 April 25. 1940 Sun Went out at 10 a.m. to photograph the nest and young of no. 7. The adult birds did not come within camera range and were not shot. Young were not hungry during Chryso ½ — old bird (madd) usual guess although didn't come quite as often as usual. Did little else than photo — visited no other nests. Monday April 25 Young cage bird gives whubbling food call with wired flutter when very hungry but only give faint twitter within begging most of time. Yesterday and today he has frequently stood up full length and flutted wings saying a version of the Brachet note — it is not if, full sharpness as yet. Swimmingly this jig is just an elaborate stretching. He can now take off again (over) The table and fly up to the cage!?
