fed. The other two had retreated into the closed portion of the cage. In about 5 minutes the male above referred, left quietly. It was fully ten minutes before the other two left. None of them were at all panicky. All disappeared into the foliage a few feet away and were not seen for about an hour. However no effort was made to find them. As it was thought that the small Guigne cherry tree would be a great attraction to them, we went and sat about thirty feet from it, and watched. Numerous grosbeaks, linnets, purples finches, to time e.t.c. fed greedily in it from time and the liberated oriole; were joining in the feast. Some of the orioles were seen and heard until nearly seven o'clock.) While we three sat on the low wall watching the birds in the cherry tree, Green Brown-eyes, who had not been invited to join us, shortly discovered us and thereafter "horned in" on our party, making regular trips between us and the nest about 200 feet away carrying worms to the nestlings. I handed the worm box to each of the other members of our party and she took worms from each of them, jumping up on to the hand of one of them and would have done the same with the other one if she had not been frightened by a Red-tailed hawk that was sailing too near, thus causing her to retreat. On this occasion as on other similar ones I have noticed, when the worm box changed hands in her absence, she appeared a little puzzled as to whether she was expected to come to me or go to the person with the worms. The worms, however, have always won, but interruption of the established custom does cause a little hesitation on her part in adapting herself to the new conditions.
