830 He paused to swallow a large piece of meat, then took a 5 minute rest in the shade and the breeze outside the cage. (Temp.70) 1:39 Work resumed in pecking the mirror for 5 minutes, with short searches. In doing this, he does not raise his crest, but the colors back of his eyes are displayed. He looks pleasant and alert, not very excited, eyes round as saucers, much interested. I sat at about 14 feet distance. 1:44. Began rest in breeze and shade 6 feet from mirror, back to wind which was strong enough to ruffle his feathers. 8 feet from me. 2:02 Moved out to get a little sun, but still in breeze. 2:03 Came for drink 5 feet from me. Thrusts bill into water beyond nostrils and wets feathers nearly to eyes. 2:06 Drinking finished and back to mirror; gave it one tap and stood quietly by. 2:07½ Pecking resumed. 2:08½ New tactics resumed. (I.e. running back and forth past the glass roughly in an arc about 6 feet long). He makes no vocal sound. (These notes made on the spot in pencil. Time accurate to nearest half minute). 2:11 He stumbled and bumped his chin on the platform edge while jumping up to it. Seems to think at the end of the arcs. Repeatedly extends run to point inside cage where he can fly up to a window in closed portion of mocking-bird's cage. Seems to regard that bird as in some way connected with the disappearance of his reflection and stares at him fixedly. Several times appeared resolved to quit, running off 15 or 20 feet but always returning. 2:22 Has another drink, thrusts bill in almost up to eyes. 2:25½ Back on job with "new" tactics. Abandons and falls back upon pecking. 2:29½ Retires to shade and breeze to rest, facing breeze this time. (The mirror is in the lee of the cage in the sun). 8 feet away. 2:34 Back on job, mixed tactics ("New" and pecking). 2:34 At end of arcs much looking about. Looks curiously at Baccharis seeds floating about in air in lee of cage. Is aware of external events, not being obsessed by his personal doings. 2:37 Spots a hawk high up in the sky; stops mirror dance to watch it, remaining perfectly stationary, not appearing to be afraid. 2:38½ Back to work with occasional glances at sky. 2:42½ Still engaged with mirror, but making more frequent observations on outside affairs and actions of birds in the cage; also occasional short rest periods in front of the mirror, when he looks more calmly at himself and "analytically". 2:52 Searches for other bird becoming a little more thorough.
