it not possible to tell where, as they range all over the place At about 2 o'clock I was sitting about 100 feet from the nest watching Brown-eyes digging and rolling stones and clods down the bank to the sidewalk. While she was primarily looking for food, there were certain clods which she seemed to push over the bank just for sport. Such clods were poised on the bank edge of the bank and she would watch them roll down without appearing to look under them for food. I moved about fifty feet further away and she followed shortly, disappearing behind a bush about ten feet away, From that point there sounds somewhat unlike those I have heard these two birds, followed by "talking" of two birds. The two birds then appeared from behind the bush and proceeded in a leisurely fashion toward the nest. This looked as if Green-eyes had come to summon his mate--an unusual performance--so I went at once to the nest, expecting to find it empty; but there was a bird in it, well settled and composed. However, in a few seconds, Brown-eyes The author appeared and took over. The bird I saw her with before and that came was probably, therefore, a third thrasher making a social call. There was no fighting or squabbling, nor any signs of a chase and Green-eyes appeared alone at the oval lawn shortly after. April 11 There is always one bird on the nest. Without making a careful check, I get the impression that Green-eyes was doing more than his share of incubating. I did not look to see if there was a fourth egg. April 12 These birds are always doing the unexpected. At a little before eight A.M. there was no bird in sight except in the one at the nest. At 8:30 it was the same. I sat on the low wall near the opening through the fence and began calling.
