When G came with meal-worms--escapes probably--he joined in the feeding operation, first, by asking G for the worms, which he did not get, and then by taking them from me. Greenie deliberately prevented him from getting the worms she brought and reached over his back to make her own selection from the aspir- ants. 2:00. B at the nest, sitting on the edge. He has spent a lot of his time there today. A Cooper Hawk raided the trees and bushes about 75 feet from the nest (after the quail) shortly before noon. He got nothing, but drove the quail out. One of them froze in the open. 5:35.
