(212) (Another Brown Towhee nest--the sixth this year--and the 33rd. of all kinds. The Chipping Sparrows still frequent the same tree, but no nest found). 7:25 P.M. Thrashers do eat Argentine ants when they feel like it. Brownie was just loafing around me hoping that I had some worms (but my box was empty) when she spied a lot of ants swarming out of a hole and began picking them up as fast as she could. She ate perhaps 15 or 20, and, although the supply was unlimited, soon tired of them. They were the adult Argentine ants. June 14th. At 6:55 A.M. I went to the glade. Brownie appeared first, without calling, then one young one after another until all were there, and finally Greenie. There were then five thrashers, all of whom received food from me direct, Brownie assisting in the operation. Greenie did not help feed the young, but got worms from Brownie and from me, eating them himself. (Nest No.34 This is either a grosbeak's from which the young have just left--as they are thick around there this A.M.--or an unfin- ished thrashers--I think. It looks like either at present, although large for a grosbeak. Nest No. 35 is within 8 feet of it in the same tree and looks like a towhee's). About 1:00 the thrashers performed for three visitors--all but Greenie. The three youngsters, when they begin playing, make a whirlwind in the glade. The largest one is as big as his parents, but has a shorter bill and tail. They fly very well and will occasionally take worms from the hand. I have not seen Greenie feed them today; on the con- trary he has repulsed them several times when they have come to him for food. Greenie may have grown lately for he is certainly not smaller than his mate now, to the eye at least. This afternoon Brown- ie threw my spatula out of the food dish about as fast as I could put it in again. Once or twice, after throwing it out, she eyed it
