(486) bath, changing from one dish to another as the water in the first one was splashed out, and picking out the floating leaves fastidiously. (These birds never dust--unlike the Bewick wren which resembles them so much in miniature). Incubation proceeded regularly throughout the rest of the day. October 27th. A.M. No egg hatched up to about 9:30, at which time I felt three under Greenie. Brownie was in the glade resuming the undersong which he has been neglecting lately. No eggs hatched after 14 days. Just before 12 Brownie was in the nest. I felt around under him and had to lift him partly out. Still three eggs --14 days of incubation. B pecked me once, and when I withdrew my hand, tried to swallow a finger, immediately thereafter accepting worms with good g grace. So far I have only touched the eggs without handling them.

Greenie in the nest, Brownie away some place. 11:25 A.M. Signs of clearing. (Temp.60--rising). About 10:30 Greenie was on the nest, Brownie was located about 250 yards away at the Robinson place, sitting in a Deodar. I called when about 30 feet from him, but he flew over my head toward home. When I reached the glade he was vigorously drying himself, though not very wet. He finished the process, between worms, on my knee.
