She left no mark on the paper. The tile floor of this room makes it difficult to get traction for a take-off. She understands the nature of the glass in the windows and, while she will peer through it, she does not attempt to force her way through but goes to the open window directly. She does not seem to be in awe of the new surroundings, or particularly curious about them, behaving in every way just as she does outside. I am still at a loss to account for Greenie's being the first one to make this venture. He is not only timid, but independent and indifferent and sometimes will not come near me for days. 12:30 None of the first brood seen as yet. 1:41 I sneezed loudly just now while answering some letters, when in walked Brownie. She strolled about the room, went out into the hall and then came back and jumped up on the table. It is so smooth that her feet slip when she merely walks on it. After getting one worm she flew directly out the window, unerringly choosing the middle one of the three mullioned windows in a group, that being the only one open. I was away most of the rest of the afternoon, so made few observations. At about 5:45 I went to the glade to replenish the food supply. No thrashers there. As I came out Brownie met me, but would not take any of the soft food offered, so I gave her worms enough for one young bird and "shooed" her toward the nest, following immediately after her. She stopped running every few feet and looked back at me (to see if I was coming?) She gave all of the worms to one bird. I then offered her soft food to see if she would refuse it again, but she was glad to get it for herself, eating eagerly as she sat on the edge of the nest. She then started giving it to the young birds and I helped her by feeding them direct. Next I handed her one worm at a time which she fed to the youngsters until she would take no more. However all of them had received equal quantities by any means, which was what I wanted to observe. One was very much slighted, but, of course,
