(194) About 4:00 this one was up about ten feet in an oak. I got a ladder and offered him soft food, which he took. I then took him in my hand, as I wished to see how the parents would react. He "snarled", that is the closest description I can give of his protest, but he ate more food just the same. The parents came to the tree at once, but did not seem greatly perturbed. I released him in a minute or two and he up into the branches of a small pine. In a few minutes Brownie was coming for more worms. June 5th. At 7:15 Brownie came to me in the glade and made several conscientious efforts to carry soft food to one of her family somewhere out of sight.

She sang, while in this position, her long undersong, full of variations, with eyes closed most of the time--a new behavior. This is the first time I have heard her undersong for weeks. After this she played about me with various loose objects, such as an acorn and old cartridge case, then up into th cold oak to look over the country and sing a littleand finally, the most vigorous digging enterprise I have seen her undertake to date. This was in a bank sloping^about 45 degrees. The material removed was a nearly black
