Jan. 30th. Early calls. This morning about 7 o'clock occasional loud calls and snatches of song were heard. I went to the glade about 10. Brownie was the first to appear, coming from the outside. G followed several minutes later, and the wren still later. B was quite talkative and introduced for the first time, while sitting on my knee, a low, kissing sound. He re-inspected Sta. C, then a place in the same tree about 6 feet from it, which both birds have frequently examined in past Sta.E; months, then a place about 10 feet east of there in another tree, Sta. F also often examined by Brownie before. At this place, as before, he worked at the growing twigs for perhaps two minutes and was joined by Greenie. He then went to the site of old No. 3 for the first time, Sta.G where there are still 4 or 5 twigs of the old nest. He rattled these about for several minutes and was watched by Greenie who stood near him. This is about 10 feet from F. and is the best protected from winds of the locations which I have seen inspected this year. After this Greenie left and B retired to a branch in the same tree, where he sat quietly, talking to himself, and apparently reviewing the entire situation. without reaching a definite decision, for he soon sailed by my ear as if I were not there and fell to digging in the glade. At 11:20 I went to the glade again to see if anything was being done about the nest situation. After finding no activities under way, I sat down, leaning well forward. Brownie, full of animation, rann to me out of the bushes, and made 2 or 3 abortive attempts to fly up on top of my head, decided otherwise and lit on one hand. After eating all of the meal worms, he darted off toward the dormitory tree. I followed, expecting to see him in Sta. D; but he was splashing in the deep water in the Indian mortar having a soaking bath. (Temp.48). New talk. More nesting activity. Sta. E Sta. F Sta. G B reviews situation out loud. Bathing when cold.
