of the proceedings. This is a rented camera and I do not know the minimum distance for this lens. Last night must have been a hard one for her, for she is sleepy this afternoon. After the "fit" she sat on a branch in the open about 5 feet in front of me, and level with my shoulder and dozed. There are missing feathers here and there on her back and head and occasionally when she scratches, a feather is dislodged. (I wonder if this is a sign of approaching moult). Poor little Brownie is an indefatigable worker. (1" lens--7 (?) feet dis.--f/8, footage 36½ to 43½). Sun-fit. July 19th. At 7:30 A.M. both Brownie and Greenie were on a path S.E. of the glade. As I entered the glade Brownie came in but her mate did not appear. The young thrasher with a scratch on its forehead was sitting in an old-man about a foot above the ground in plain sight--a place much affected by members of Brood No.1. Brownie got worms from me and, although the youngster was only about 6 feet away, she did not find it at once. When she approached him he greeted her with the harsh, snarling sound that young thrashers make when angry or afraid and pecked at her. This was unusual. However, Brownie fed him and the second time he did not make this sound, nor did he when I gave him soft food which he stretched his neck out for eagerly. He showed no sign of fear despite the fact that it was necessary to make considerable disturbance in the branches to reach him. If he follows thrasher precedent, he may sit in this same spot for hours. 10:25. About 9:15 I looked all over the place and in favorable spots outside the fence to see if Greenie and any of the brood could be located; but nothing was discovered. Returning to the glade, I found Brownie there ready for more food. I gave her worms which she took, as near as I could tell, to the same bird, which was out of sight in the bushes a few feet from its former location, but not
