(1) Greenie was a young bird, as the earlier notes suggested. (2) The adult iris color is a brilliant orange brown, but: (3) This color is not attained even up to the time that the birds are sexually mature and are rearing broods. When Greenie was first seen nearby in Sept. 1932, she certainly could not have been younger than a bird of that year. As the color was still unchanged when she disappeared in late March this year, it would seem that: (4) The adult coloration is not attained earlier than the third calendar year from the nest, and possibly later. April 29th. No early morning song heard, but this does not mean that there was No Roadrunner. Brownie goes and fights the box that the snake is in, tries to dig under it and is very theatrical about it. I have made no attempt to tame Nova. The young thrashers continue friendly and happy in R's aviary. Neither has been heard recording there. They are still quite juvenile in appearance, though big and strong. Both have Greenie's eye color still, but are easily distinguishable April 30th. There was early morning song, and during the day B occasionally climbed the old oak and sang a few bars. About 10 A.M. when I turned the hose on to a clump of shrubs near the entrance, the roadrunner ran out and off along the sidewalk. Though still in the neighborhood, he seems to remain silent. The propriety of B's building the new nest without foundation is now doubtful, as it is sagging considerably on the side where the birds usually enter. 7:30 P.M. Rain began to fall about 7 P.M. Saw Mr. Brock during the afternoon and on telling him that the roadrunner was back again, learned that a man, name not mentioned, had brought to him a roadrunner in a sack caught in this vicinity, and had been warned to release it again where he caught it. By comparing times, it seems probable that it was the same bird. May 1st. Brownie (probably) was heard singing from place to place early in the morning.
