June 3rd. No early morning song heard. No sub-singing for a long time. Occasional musical calls by Brownie. Incubation proceeding regularly. Brownie in one of his very friendly cycles. June 4th. The above note might be repeated, with the addition that there has been an almost continuous rain for several hours. (Now 2:30 P.M.) Such a rain, though not unprecedented, is not ordinarily to be expected at this time of year. 7 P.M. It rained all day. June 5th. No early morning song; rain during the night. 1:25 P.M. At 9:30 this morning I was at Dr. Reynolds' and heard a thrasher scrippping just the otherside of his brick wall on the south proper ty line. I went there and called; the bird ran and flew toward us and made several ineffectual flights from the ground to reach my hand, but stopped part way. I went outside the wall and Brownie came to me just as if he were at home, tame and friendly. This point is 300 to 350 (?) yards from here and hidden by trees and houses from this place. It is the first time that Brownie has come to me so far- away, when I have been out of the environment in which he has been accustomed to see me. After this he climbed to a high point nearby and sang loudly and, it seemed, challengingly, as another thrasher was also singing at an indeterminate distance to the north, possibly not over 100 yards away. The question naturally suggest itself: Is this region a sort of No Man's Land between the territories of two thrashers. B then disap- peared in the bushes, and a half hour later when I returned home, he had resumed the job of incubation. [illegible] small particles with the type. The "other" thrasher may have been Little Brownie in the aviary; but this was not determined.
