about a change. The foregoing lists do not represent the total number of nests found, only the kinds. The total number to date is about thirty found. A conservative guess would be that there are probably about forty nests of all kinds to date on this area (Lat. 161) which is about 1 3/4 acres including buildings and roads. (Get exact acreage, also exact Lat. and Long.) May 19 At 7:45 I was watching the Lawrence Goldfinches at their tree and heard a thrasher "scrapping" off to the north wrot east on a knoll about 150 yards away. I whistled and called and the sound ceased. Further calling brought no response, so mentally I stopped and called the trial a failure. However this was premature, for within perhaps two minutes after I ceased calling (Well, a male Junco eating chicken feed on the terrace by the wid window 8 feet away. Maybe they are not gone after all.) Brown-eyes appeared about fifty feet away evidently trying to locate me as she was scouting about, apparently not seeing me, like a dog. One call brought her to me on the run and although I offered her half a dozen worms in the palm of my hand, she took only one, placed it on the ground, battered it about a bit, then headed for the nest, running as fast as she could along the road for perhaps the first hundred feet, then at a point where the grade changes to a pitch downward toward the nest she took to the air. By the time I had walked to a point in the road near the nest, she was out in the road again, repeating the d previous performance. I waited, but she did not return, although she has had nothing to eat, herself, from me this morning. It is clear that the nestlings have first consideration. 10:30. At exactly 10:00 I placed a chair in the glade about 15 feet from the thrasher nest and sat in it for exactly 20 minutes, in order to see what would develop during a definite period of time. The chair was in the open, but touching a clump
