(425) At 9:15, when I went out to observe progress, Greenie was up in Dorm A and Brownie was under the tree hunting for twigs, but decided to have a worm or two first, then got a twig and went to the nest. It feels as if this would turn out a warm day. (Temp. now 65) Elder-berries 2:00. No observations were made until this time. The two thrash erers are now eating elder-berries in one of the trees in the garden. This is now two kinds of fruit which they are known to like. 2:45. At 2:15 I went to the glade with a fresh supply of soft-food. Brownie appeared almost at once and filled up. She did not consider the matter of worms at all, but retired to the shade and indulged in a long ½ song. Greenie, who had been "½ singing" behind me someplace, came in and reported to Brownie first with that indescribable, sibilant sound, had soft-food, then to me for worms. Brownie looked on without interest. Some minutes after Greenie went about other affairs, Brownie jumped up to my ankle, wiped her bill on my trouser cuffs, and was ready for business, talking. Her talk in this position now is approaching under-song at times and she is sufficiently at ease to snap at flies and yellow-jackets while sitting there. Some phrases in her preceding under-song were: The quail's putputput, uttered very rapidly, Orkut, orkut, yerrrrkit--pit-per-yorri. Purty-purty-purty---quare. Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle--queeleet--wet year. Pit-wahr, pit-wahr, pit-wahr, er-r-rket, yor-pe-wee. Sept.29th. Early morning song was not heard here, perhaps because I was not awake in time. 7:45 At 7:30 A.M. I went to the glade. Everything was quiet. I called and there was an instant response from the north-east outside the property--loud and clear, by two thrashers.
