(305) 3:40 P.M. At about 2:40 as I paused on the path by the south side of the glade, looking for cats, squirrels and rabbits, a thrasher call sounded from within and Brownie came out. I laid the gun on the bank and Brownie trotted up to it, put her eye close to the muzzle and tried to look down the barrel, but seeing nothing edible there, came and had some soft food. I then went into the glade and sat down. Brownie followed, mounted a horizontal limb of an Old Man sage, about one foot above the ground, preened for several minutes, then settled comfortably on the limb, closed her eyes and sang softly at intervals with her eyes still closed. Soon Greenie entered from the north and when Brownie heard him coming she gave the "Repeat, you repeat" call and he ran to her opening his bill, Brownie likewise opened her bill, but neither made any sound.

They then exchanged places, the young bird looking up with open mouth but not quivering its wings or making any sound. Greenie mere- ly looked at him. I then attracted Greenie's attention with a worm,
