Sept. 4th. Much singing. Frequent full song by Brownie at intervals throughout the day, beginning in the early morning. Whole family still here. He and all his family were about the place most of the time; Nova responded to his calls several times. B displays. B put on one of his new type displays just outside this window, in which he had Nova and Nb (?) as interested spectators, following him about on the floor of the terrace and seeming to be actuated only by curiosity. B appeared to disregard their presence, and as before, puffed up and stalked about slowly and woodenly, pecking the stone floor and making soft, inarticulate sounds. He again patronized his night roost several times during the day. Sept. 5th. Early song. The day was again opened by nearby and distant thrasher full song. At about 10:15, B, who had been singing a great deal, went to the dorm itory tree and was shortly followed by Nova. After a few minutes, they reappeared, sitting together on the wind screen. B came to me for worms, Nova wandered about and then returned to the dorm and went up behind the screen all alone. The first time this has been noted. It looks like a nesting sign. Previous to this Nova had again shown that she is a singer. B sings full song 10 feet from visitor B broke into full song from his night roost. He then came out and sat on the screen and sang about 10 feet from us, being answered by Nova in the old oak. His object appeared to be to get his wife to come to him, but she was shy of us. B and Bb together. A few minutes afterward he and Bb came to the oval lawn together. Curious, this continued tolerance of this brood. New feathers on false wings. While he is very smooth and sleek, I just noticed that he has two pin-feathers just breaking from their sheathes on each of his "false wings".
