different from any of the preceding ones, being "all" lining. B does all of the feeding, practically all of the nest building, singing,-ditto,and continues to chase the quail out of the glade like a small tornado. Most assuredly a competent individual. When dispersing the quail he seems to be about 3 birds. These events leave no trace of excitement in him, nor is a feather on him displaced. Ahr March 13th. 11:00A M. All thrashers accounted for.
