as compared with the last few months and answered:"Incomparable more", but in the early mornings for full song and "almost all the time" for sub-song; that they were ranging farther now and since the young had been driven away, the food problem was less acute, hence the birds are not coming forward so freely in the presence of a number of persons. I went out to the glade about 11:30 to see if they were at home. They came out of the brush in a few moments both exchanging the same phrase which sounded rather like quiri-kalee-kalee, but it is impossible to write it, or for that matter, even to catch it. Greenie came to me for worms, but Brownie found something attractive at the base of a sage and dug in one spot for fully ten minutes. Greenie retired into the bushes and rendered a long sub-song of fine quality. Brownie was in- Greenie inspired to emulate this, but continued digging. Then, much to my delight, Greenie, about 20 feet away, burst out into full, rich, deep, song of splendid quality lasting for about half a minute. Brownie came to me and stood with one foot on one hand and the other on the worm box and allowed me to pull my hands apart until she was doing a full "split". She then ran to join Greenie in the bushes and they made noises at each other at first, then talked more sensibly. I was particularly pleased to get this further evidence of Greenie's singing ability as, since last recorded in these notes, I had not had him positively isolated and located definitely in full song, so was beginning to wonder if I had been bearing down a little too strongly on the fact that both birds sing full-song without getting additional con- firmation. (12:15--one of them is at it again in full song). I was also pleased to get this evidence of his mid-day singing. This is not, or has not been, a common thing with either bird in the last few months. I neglected to record yesterday that Brownie caught a Painted Lady butterfly by my chair and, after battering it around a little, swallowed it wings and all. The powdery scales from its wings were seen to float
