(319) I gave Greenie a lot to see if he would not show where Snooty was, provided the hawk had not taken him, but he ate them all. Both adults accounted for, both eating themselves, and nobody looking out for Snooty. I wondered if he had been chased away, and then out he came from the bushes where Brownie was again sub-singing. As he came toward me I tossed him a worm to see what Greenie would do about it. Greenie ran for it and stopped short of it, froze and stared at each other about three feet apart. They maintained this pose for squawked and perhaps a half minute, when Greenie suddenly jumped up straight into the air as if he had been stung and ran away ten feet as fast as he could, stopped, remained motionless and appeared to be frightened. the young bird was not even startled and ate the worm calmly. I could not tell whether this was make-believe or reality. Yesterday I had seen both Greenie and Snooty jump suddenly and run this way and attributed it to ants or something of the kind. Just before this present incident I has seen one of those flat flies crawl under Green- ie's head feathers--the first I have seen on either adult -- possibly it bit him--if it is a biting kind. I then tossed a worm to Greenie to see if he would take it to Snooty. He picked it up and appeared to consider the matter a long, Snooty watching but not moving. Greenie's final decision was to eat it himself. I tossed one to Snooty which he ate without having to consider the matter at all. Greenie ran up to have a look, but did not interfere. I held a worm out to Greenie and he came and took it and ate it, retiring to within a couple of feet of Snooty. A worm was than tossed about midway between the two.

When I left, all three birds were together in the glade, nobody had been chased and nobody had
