(199) are miniatures of their parents, except that their bills and tails are too short. Their colors and markings are exactly the same. They I think are still unable to fly and do not even attempt it, which seems strange. All of their moving about is either on the ground or in the trees and bushes. Their average age is now 21 days. Their parents seem to have a positive dislike to flying, yet notwithstanding their small wing areas, when they do fly they do not give the impression of laborious flight and their wing beat does not impress one as being particularly rapid. Perhaps this is because, when seen flying, it is nearly always down hill and a large part of the flight consists of sailing. They can run with great speed when so inclined, but usually do not go very fast: Any bird that has no difficulty in keeping up with a quail on the ground and is able at the same time to administer a perfect whirlwind of punishment, has to be fast. June 7th. At 7:30 A.M. both Brownie and Greenie began a series of regular trips with worms and soft food between me as a supply station and the various youngsters. When no more food was needed Green-eyes disappeared and Brown-eyes went up to the top of the old oak and sang. One of the youngsters flew about 6 feet almost horizon- tally from one bush to another. Another one followed one of his parents out from the bushes toward me and then went back in again. before I could get a chance to see whether he would take food from me. They are more shy and more sophisticated than they were yester- day. One of them tried his hand at digging and they began to peck at things. The call note of one of them is beginning to take on another syllable. Both of the parents have been vocal today, sometimes both singing at the same time. Ro\l No.4-50'.
