when Dr. Grinnell comes to see them. Dr. Grinnell and Mr. W.F.Sampson came to see the birds shortly after 4 P.M. We went to a point near the nest, but they were not in sight. Shortly, however, Brown-eyes appeared, somewhat shy in the presence of my visitors, but, with a little coaxing, took meal-worms from my hand. Shortly afterwards, Green-eyes peered up over the bank 5 or 6 feet away, but would not come and eat, though taking the part of a spectator who would like to participate. The food offer- ed was then changed, Brown-eyes eating soft-food readily from hand, and, on having enough for the time being, on leaving, gave some to her mate. Somewhat later after returning from a walk about the place, we were standing in the road a little farther from the nest and both birds appeared underneath a baccharis hedge. B.E. came out into the open road to me for worms, and, a little later, stood on the edge of the road facing us 20 feet or so away and sang a few bars softly. There was no confusion of identity, as B.E. has a temporar- ily misplaced feather on the neck which can be easily seen fifty or more feet away. About an hour after my visitors had left, both birds cavorted and dug a few yards from me in the deep shade, and from their actions, it looks very much as if I had the sexes reversed; but they moved about so rapidly that I am not certain. March 4th. About 8:30 A.M. both birds were digging about 50 yards from the nest near the N.E. corner of the property. ( I have a topographical map of the place with all trees larger than bushes spotted on it). They gradually worked over to me, had worms and soft food, B.E. went up to the nest and G.E. climbed up into the old oak, perched on the end of a stub branch and after a few preliminary loud calls, broke out into full song.
