At 5:30 I gave Brownie and Greenie all the worms they wanted in the glade. Brownie sat on my knee for several minutes and was even more friendly than usual. Greenie retired to his tree and sat there for perhaps 15 minutes. He then climbed into the sparrow-hawk pine and was joined by Brownie. It looked as if they were going to roost there for the night. In perhaps ten minutes Brownie came down and investigated the interior of the lath house. She then went up to Room A, but after a few minutes sailed out to the berry patch. In a few minutes more she was back again near me at the lath house. She then climbed up a short ladder and, from there, went up into the pine tree west of the one where Greenie was presumably still sitting (I did not see him again) and sat for several minutes in what looked like a good roosting place about 10 feet above the ground. However, this did not satisfy her and she sailed out of there toward the glade, reappearing in a few minutes on the ground in front of me as I stood in the door of the lath-house. After looking at me, she considered going up again into the pine, but instead, worked her way over to the dormitory tree and by 6:20 was comfortably installed in Room A after all of these wanderings.

Greenie, on the ground nearby, picked up the phrase with slight alterations, again illustrating the ten- dency to use the same phrase at the same time. Other than to note that one thrasher was singing at 10:30, I gave
