(311) reversal of form---at this time. At about 10:45 I entered the glade. Snooty was the only visible occupant and showed immediate interest in my presence, approaching me slowly from a distance of about 15 feet, although I did not attempt to entice him until he was about four feet away. Then I showed him a worm which he came and took out of my hand, also taking the same exploratory nibble at my fingers that all of his predecessors have thought advisable on coming to hand for the first time. After taking a couple more, he retired to my right and lay down 3 feet away. Brownie then appeared silently near my left elbow and instead of taking after Snooty as I expected, although she saw him, very meekly ate soft-food and a worm or two without even making a threat of violence, then retired somewhere outside the glade, presumably to preen, doze and feel sorry for herself. Greenie came next to eat from the fresh batch of soft-food and give a worm or two to Snooty. They then both retired to the south opening into the glade, where Snooty napped on the ground. Greenie sat on a sage branch only six inches above the ground, pried out a few loose feathers, then settled down on the branch also for a nap. This in broad daylight, with nothing but the sky over him and in full view---a perfect lure for cats, hawks or any other predatory creatures. In a few minutes a lizard appeared between the two birds, who were about three feet apart, and settled himself comfortably for a sun-bath. Snooty saw him first and approached him carefully with erected tail and slightly spread wings. The lizard merely edged away slowly, Snooty following. When Greenie saw what was going on he joined Snooty without haste or theatrical posing and both of them followed the lizard around a bush, apparently out of mere curiosity. Greenie went back to his same perch, Snooty stretched out on the ground and the lizard remained a member of the group for an indefinite time, not having moved quickly at any time. Everything
