(201) by a short song from the ground nearby and Brownie walked out of the Ferns looking for food for the young. She soon showed me where the nearest bird was by taking food to him. After several trips this youngster flew across the road and landed at my feet where his mother was momentarily. Before I could get into action to see if he would take food from me, he went up into a tree where I could easily reach him. I got some food on the end of my spatula and approached him slowly. When the food was about a foot from his bill he edged towards me, opened his mouth wide and gulped it down without a quiver. This was repeated several times. (Two more bird's nests this A.M. One of them a purple finch's in construction, the other not yet identified) 11:30 Two young thrashers came out of the sage 8' from my chair, Brownie making about 15 trips back and forth carrying soft food to them a little at a time. The youngsters were very lively . Both of them "did" approved sun-fits just like the adults, preened, pecked at leaves and did a little amateur digging. Unfortunately the camera was not set up. I placed it to cover the same field after the youngsters had retired. Soon Brownie came out, preened and had a sunfit, in pretty good form, but not quite so disintegrating as some of them. (12 feet of film--from 11 to 23--f8--brilliant sun but almost directly overhead). I have noticed that the young birds will sometimes run from their parents when approached by them. Shortly before 11:30 Greenie was taking worms from my hand and feeding one of the young who was on the ground near us--Dr. Reynolds being present. This is the first time Greenie has ever done this with a visitor present. Brownie was away some place and did not appear in the glade during this time. 12;30 From 23 feet to 42½, Brownie looks for a hawk, drinks and sunfits,' From there to the end she feeds one of the young one-- I hope in the picture.
