less infant in Nest 46. There also were present goldfinches, some kind of a vireo? and a Yellow warbler in full color of the purest yellow.(I can't be certain of these little vireos, and other birds that look like them). Nesting. 5:15. Brownie is up in her nest working on it. Greenie is digging in the berry-patch. Night roosts. 6:15. Both birds were on their perches for the night at this time. Greenie is especially hard to see. Air Temp. 62. Sunset 5:56 . Sept. 30th. Called home from S.E. 8:33. At 8:15 I went to the glade--everything silent there and no sounds of thrashers any place. I had not heard them earlier. After calling a few times, there was a scrp in the distance coming from an easterly direction. Recalling the experience of yesterday when one call was enough to start them, I stopped. In a few minutes both birds came in from the east without a sound heard since the first scrp or two. Both came to me at once and started talking, Greenie being the first this time. After only a few worms, Greenie began gathering soap-root. Brownie followed suit. Both started for the dormitory, Brownie's tree. (Call this Dorm. B and Greenie's tree Dorm. G). Greenie dropped all his, but Brownie carried hers up to the nest and distributed it carefully, although the "nest" is only about as big as my fist and is a shapless snarl. Greenie came to watch with his chin over the edge to get a close view. He said softly: "Pit-yuri", to which Brownie responded with the blue-bird call. G watches a and comments. Brownie stepped out for a moment, and Greenie took her place, and changed one twig, moved to a branchlet a few inches away and, when I left was looking off into the distance solemnly. (Temp. 68) At 9:30 I went to the glade and sat down. A soft call sounded behind me; Brownie, whom I had not seen, was in the tree behind me. She came down and sat on my knee saying: B talks on my knee. Chee chtee ta taw
