Soon all was quiet, but B came out again, saw me standing in the road near the dormitory tree, and although it was fairly dark under the t trees, again ran to me (about 50 feet) for more worms. He then began inspecting the trees from the ground, finally decided on the dormitory tree, climbed up into it, and when I looked for him there at 7:30 he was comfortably installed for the night in the same roosting place where he was first seen months ago, and, I believe, on the identical branch. Nova, I think, is roosting in one of the trees bounding the glade. May 18th. Up to 10:30 A.M. no signs of either thrasher, no singing, except in the very early morning, down in the canyon. 11:35 A.M. Still no signs of either bird. I am about to leave for a short trip up into the Sierras and will have no opportunity to make further notes for 2 or 3 days. This will be the first interruption since daily notes were kept. May 19th. and 20th. Julio reports that, during my absence, both birds were seen more or less frequently, Brownie, only, being seen on the nest. B would not come to him for worms, but would take worms tossed to him. Nova would "hide". May 21st. 10:35 P.M. Just returned. Brownie was found occupying his regular night roost. May 22nd. Neither thrasher to be seen about 8 A.M. 10:30 A.M. On returning from an errand, B was seen sitting in t the nest. He would not come down on call, but a few minutes later, when seen on the ground, he came to me as usual. Thus it appears that a short period of about four days during which contact was not es- tablished, is not enough to affect relations between us.
