(418) I did not look for the birds again until 5:15 at which time Brownie was sitting quietly in Room A as if for the night. It was still cloudy. I did not see Greenie in the immediate vicinity and when I called to see if he was in the glade, Brownie came instead. Each bird in its own tree for the night I had to do an errand and was not back again until a little after six. Brownie was on her regular night perch and Greenie was also in his tree, all settled apparently, although I do not know whether he has any particular perch or not. Quite naturally both birds prefer horizontal perches. Sept. 26th Shortly before 7 o'clock thrasher song could be heard off to the south east. I think it fairly certain that it was more than 350 yards away. I first heard it from my bed-room, the windows of which on that side were all closed. I went down to the street entrance of the garden and the song was certainly not nearer than 250 yards from that point and the entrance is about 100 yards from my room. Some of the phrases could be distinctly identified. Nothing was seen of B&G (Brownie and Greenie), but at 7:30 loud singing was heard near my south-east corner and I found Brownie there. The other thrasher was still singing off to the south east. Brownie moved back toward the glade and then appeared at the top of the old oak, first calling loudly and then singing full-song. I though it was Greenie in the distance that she was calling, but suddenly the latter was seen mounting the bare branches to join her and the distant song continued. I went to the old oak. The two birds talked and talked and sang high up in the tree sitting 5 Or 6 feet apart. In her talk Brownie introduced a new phrase which she used over and over again, karra, karra, karra, with the r strongly rolled. Both also used the bluebird-like pewh and a variety of other sounds. They would not accept my invitation to eat, and finally went over towards the berry- patch, and at 8:15 both of them were working on the "nest" in Room A.
