(501) take three worms to the nest and relieve G for about 10 minutes, during which time she came to the glade, found a cut worm which she exchanged for meal worms, leaving it at my feet. She took the former to the nest and stayed there, B coming to the glade, his first act being to find G's cut-worm and eat it himself. In this emergency he is not appearing to advantage as a parent. I then went to the nest and Greenie took all the worms she needed for the young. G has difficulty in feeding. She has great difficulty in getting the worms down their gullets and sometimes will make as many as 15 or 20 unsuccessful efforts, with a single worm before getting it where the young bird can swallow it. During the process, even after releasing the worm, she often has to reach down and remove it entirely many times. Clucking resumed. The parents are now clucking to the young at times. 2:40. The young birds have just had another good feed of meal-worms, both parents doing the actual work. G brought 5 or 6 very small white grubs. I hope this does not mean that they are unable to find Jerusalem crickets. If it does, I shall probably have to dance attendance on this family until the parents decide that the nestlings are ready for soft-food. None of the chicks has its eyes open as yet. Eyes not open. 4:00 P.M. The wind has stopped blowing. (Temp. 65). At 3:20 Wind ceases. neither adult was on the nest, but B came in a few moments without food and little fellows were given a good feed with his assistance. About 3:40, Greenie came into the glade, also without food, but took some worms to the nest and did not return. A few minutes ago neither adult was at the nest, but as I approached, B appeared near the berry-patch and when I went up to the nest, he came up quietly with no evident alarm, without food, and sat on the edge of the nest perfectly at ease while I touched the youngsters to see if they would open their mouths, which they did. B did not show G trades worms with me. B not showing up well. G brings grubs. B does not o object to my presence at nest.
