The arrows in the diagram above are supposed to indicate the inflection of the voice: pointing up--rising inflection; down--falling; level --monotone. At 2 P.M. Both birds were in the dormitory tree, one of them being on the "nest" B, but it hopped to a higher branch before I could identify it. At 4 on going to the dormitory I saw Brownie on the ground under it, looking up into it. On seeing me she ran to me, then looked into the pine tree, the lath house and other trees and departed. Going to the glade I heard undersong. The bird that came out for worms was Greenie, singing as he came. At 5:45 I went to the glade--both thrashers there, coming out to stand in front of me and not much concerned about worms. When the newly arrived fox sparrow came out and joined the group as if he belonged there, I tossed him a worm,which he took,and neither thrasher even started for it. At about six these thrashers melted into the surroundings. Brownie was not in room A until 6:15. Greenie I staked from tree to tree losing him repeatedly. I finally located him in the tree suspected to be his roosting place as stated Sept.12 (See p.384). I doubt if he stays there.(J.i Tonight) 7:45. I could not find him there with a flash-light. I found Brownie in her place, but could not see Greenie in the same tree. He might, however, be in either, as it is not easy to find them at night. About 18 inches from A is another accumulation of droppings and I have thought that that might indicate Greenie's usual place. (Fox Sparrow Greenie's Roosting Place Found(?))
