feathers ruffled showing his preen gland, and looking decidedly sour. Nb was wandering about disconsolately with no signs of Nova about. Viewed from the human standpoint, one would say that B considers Nb should be fed by Nova alone, for the present at least, and that his annoyance is vented upon the youngster and persists even when that innocent is not present. During the afternoon B indulged in repeated "sun-fits" and preening episodes in my company; some of them lasting from half to three quarters of an hour. After sunning it became necessary to cool off each time, since he does not seem to tolerate direct sun for more than 3 or 4 minutes at a time when the sun is strong. Often he cooled off on my knee, with spread wings and wide open beak. I could look right down his throat.
