of location has been made. I do not think he is entirely satisfied with any of the places examined and tested. February 1934 Feb. 1st. About 9:30 I went to the glade; the two thrashers and the wren came for worms. The thrashers then carried nesting material to Sta. O (in the old oak). After rustling about there for several min- utes, they went to the dormitory tree, and Brownie first inspected the foundation which I prepared yesterday. He then began work just abov it at D (his night roost). I left him there, as I had to go to S.F. I returned about 3:15. B&G were both at the oval lawn (also the wren). The thrashers carried on an almost uninterrupted conversa- tion with each other, consisting mostly of something like: Tchik, tchik, tchik, tu-ree, tu-ree? B kept this up while on my hand. On the two occasions when I have seen these birds today they have been very bright and lively; B es- pecially not hesitating to fly up to my hand while I was standing up. Feb. 2nd. The thrashers did not respond when I went to the glade about 9:30 A.M. and I could not find them on the place. There was a hawk lurking about all of the morning and at one time it was seen running on the ground, through the bushes after the quail. Some of the quail froze in plain sight of the hawk, but none were caught, as the latter flew off when it saw me. (There were two wrens in the wood-pile, one of them the tame one, came for worms, but the other would not. I did not look for the thrashers again during the forenoon, but about noon both of them were in the glade. Feb. 3rd. Up to 10: A.M., the thrashers were not seen or heard.
