I gave her a good meal of worms and soft-food. No matter how often, or how much I give these birds, they seem to dig just as much as ever. Incubation seems to have commenced with the first egg, since after the first egg was laid, I have not seen the time when there was not either a bird on the nest, or one about to enter it. 1:15 P.M. As I was passing the nest, they were in the act of changing shift; G.E. proving to be the one leaving. He got a few worms and then remained near me "doing sun-fits". In one of them he raised his sun-ward wing so as to let the sun shine under it. So far, this sunning action is all one-sided, that is: the birds turn only one side to the sun and do not reverse position to give the other side its turn. March 11th. At 8 A.M. one of the birds was on the nest, but I could not tell which. At 8:45 G.E. was off duty and came to me so promptly that I mistook him for his mate. About 11:15 Brown-eyes, in the nest, was somewhat restless. My dughter was at the nest watching. I looked up Green-eyes, gave him worms, having told my sister, that if everything went according to precedent, he would take one up to his mate and then relieve her. And that is exactly what happened. In making the change this time, the eggs, of which there were still but three, were uncovered for perhaps a half-minute. I did not return again until 2:30, at which time they were again changing shift, B.E. going off. I have been keeping out of the glade, myself, as a usual thing, to leave the creatures in it undisturbed; but this time I went in to note the effect on Brown-eyes, who was there. It did not disturb her in the least, and she came to me
