Brownie jumped to my knee and Greenie to the chair alongside me so that I could hand them worms alternately with one hand. This is the first time that Brownie has been satisfied with to allow Greenie every alternate worm. When finished, Brownie went immediately to the nest and really worked hard, struggling up through the obstructing branchlets with large twigs that taxed her strength. I left her still at it as I came in to write this memorandum. Age of birds? If birds acquire one ring around the ankle (?) for each year of age, Brownie is 4 (or 5) years old. I have been watching these 3 scales or rings on her for some time, but have not had the same clear view of them with Greenie. I had a good chance just now, but was so excited by his unusual tameness and boldness that I did not think to look until he had gone. As the notes some time back show, I early got the impression that he is a young bird. I got the impression that his eye color might be changing, but got only a fleeting glimpse under conditions not too favorable, so it is doubtful. In night roosts. 6:20. Greenie and Brownie are in their respective night quar- ters. It needed but a few seconds to find Greenie this time. Temp. Temp. 59, clear, no wind. At sunrise this morning it was bright and clear here, but a blanket of fog covered everything below about 400 feet elevation. October 2nd. Morning song. 9:00 A.M. Thrashers were heard singing at 6:30 on the west side of the house. At 9 they were not to be found on this place. At 9:45 Brownie came to eat out of the food dish as I was filling it. After having some worms she disappeared. I called, but Greenie did not respond; however, as I went toward Dorm.A, he was seen approach- ing the glade. He joined me at the tree where Brownie was already working at the nest. He came and got worms. I could see no change in his eye color and, while I could not be certain, there seemed to be the same number of ring-scales about his ankles as Brownie has.
