1968 Apr. 16 (contini) behind a lattice. The parents of the other birds began im- mediately to bring food to the little orphan. But the day was cold and rainy and the little bird evidently misses the warmth of my hand. I put the bird in a protected place on a hot water, and revived him from sort of a stupor. Again the adopted parents returned but it was in vain. After school the children again began to feed it large worms they found on some weeds near by. When I returned from an afternoon engagement the bird was dead.
