(312) seemed perfectly friendly, although the lizard--which probably was too big to eat--preferred not to be approached too closely . Neither bird showed any signs of hunger for almost exactly a half an hour. At that time they ate a little and Snooty developed a fly and bee chasing taste. Greenie, incidentally, is becoming a scourge to the yellow-jackets . Those same flat flies that I noticed crawling under the feathers of the young birds of brood No. 1 are doing the same to Snooty, though he does not seem to mind it. August 5th. At 7 A.M.
