(295) completely reversed--at least inside my property lines. What goes on outside, I do not know. Greenie has been doing Brownie's work and Brownie appears to be doing whatever it was that Greenie was doing before. Up to 12:30 Brownie had not been seen and at that time Greenie was still taking food to No.4. The pictures of Roll No. 8, unfortunately, were fuzzy in appear- ance, due, presumably to the loop in the film on one side of the gate being too small, thus interfering with the smooth passage of the film by the gate and blurring the image. At about 1:45, it being rather too warm in the glade, I sat on the ground under a tree on the western margin where there was a little breeze.

During this time he closed his eyes frequently and evidently napped, occasionally with the tip of his bill on the ground. This habit of dozing on the ground in broad day-light must result in frequent tragedies, if this is a com- mon habit of thrashers in general. All of "my" birds have done it, and as I have noted before, the impression has been gained that they are not noticeably more acute of hearing than human beings--or, more specifically--than I am.

At 2:40 I was wondering what had become of Brownie and whether the thrashers would begin singing again after their domestic cares are over. As I approached the oval lawn a thrasher undersong was heard and Brownie was located in an oak nearby, in plain sight, as the
