call for worms, following previous patterns. Mr. Brock and Mr. Beckmann watching this. At 12:32 still one egg; revealed when G stood up to feed the chicks with a meal worm handed her by B, handed him by me. At 4:30 still 3 eggs. 5:20. The birds have had numerous visitors at the nest today, beginning at about 10 A.M. and just ending. B showed one visitor how he takes a worm from me while in the nest and gives it to a chick. 5:45. Still one egg. The fairy chorus has begun. The 12:32 order of feeding was again followed. This is happening often. One chick has a much larger mouth than the other. March 19th. No early morning song. 8:30 A.M. Still one unhatched egg in the nest and two chicks. 11:40 At 11:30 conditions were the same. Greenie, on the nest, thawed, took worms from me and fed the young birds, Brownie assisting. 5:45.P.M. I visited the nest several times during the afternoon. At 5:30 the egg was still unhatched. I took it out and examined it, Brownie not objecting, settling on it comfortably when it was return- ed. As it is beyond the proper incubating period and both birds do not hesitate to be away from the nest for short periods simultaneous- ly, they probably have abandoned hope. I shall leave it in and see if the birds dispose of it in case it does not hatch. When B comes to the nest with a worm, and G is there, she usual- ly begs him for it with soft clucks, and he gives it to her. She then feeds one of the young birds. B usually waits at the nest for an indefinite time on such occasions, appearing much interested. Both of the parents now take worms at the nest for the chicks. It is a pretty sight to see them both so friendly and confiding. They also are coming to me freely in the glade for the same purpose.
