nest and that one of them was making a sound like a distant dog at the old oak. I went to the glade. Greenie came at once for worms. The "barking" in the tree continued: Row, row, row. (O as in cow). Brownie soon dropped down for her share of worms and the barking ceased. As she sat on my knee, I row, row, rowed at her, and she promptly responded in the same way. Each time I repeated this phrase she answered with it until it was time to join Greenie gathering soap- root fibre for the nest at my feet.
