(499) then settling comfortably in the nest. After a few minutes both adults were coming alternately to me in the glade. 10:25. Brownie on the nest, eating soft-food from the spoon, was soon joined by Greenie who brought meal-worms that I had given her a few moments before in the glade. After giving them to the young she joined B at the spoon. When B left she continued eating-- another change in her pattern. When she settled in the nest, the youngsters surged up under her feathers and puffed them out on the sides and she rocked from side to side. These movements were caused by the young birds. 12:30 (Temp. 70). Greenie returned to the nest with something that looked like the large black ant seen yesterday. B, in the nest, wanted her to give it to him, but she avoided him and fed it herself. Both then ate from the spoon freely. Natural food supply scarce? I am concerned about the food supply. The adults appear to have difficulty in finding food. Sometimes they return to the nest with nothing. Usually whatever they bring is smaller than a meal worm. The Jerusalem cricket, which formed the major portion of the food for the nestlings during the summer, has been seen carried to the nest only once, and then it was one dug up by Julio. They are not feeding any soft food. At present if I try to feed the young direct with soft-food the parents take it themselves. 7:35 P.M. During the rest of the afternoon no apparent increase could be seen in the supply of natural food taken to the nest. November 5th. Effect of heavy wind. A powerful north wind came up during the night. Greenie fearful. At about 8 A.M. it was roaring over the crest of the spur where the nest is located causing the tree to sway. Greenie, in the nest, was plainly afraid when stronger gusts added more commotion. Brownie, in the glade, would not come out for worms, but peered apprehensively B ditto.
