I did there. It is not big enough for him, even with no nest. During one of his absences, therefore, I undertook to shift the the framework a few inches and open it up more inside. If he accepted this it would shift his nest about 9 inches. While I was working t there, he came back and inspected my work calmly, standing on it, and shifted two of my twigs an inch or two! I then handed him a worm which he accepted readily. On his next return, bearing a twig this time he placed it in the new location and did not go into the crowded cor- ner. It looks as if he would accept the change. About 4:30 P.M. I went there with a visitor and noted that quite a bit more had been added. All of the work that I saw done today was by Brownie, Greenie seeming indifferent. About 5:30 both thrashers came out to the edge of the wishes in the glade and would only dart out to get a worm and then retreat rapidly. Even this they were reluctant to do. The wren behaved similarly. In a few minutes a hawk lit in the top of the old oak. Evidently the birds knew that he was about, and this was the cause of their timidity. At 6 B was not in his night roost. Thinking he might have shifted to the new nest, I looked for him there, but could not see him. Feb. 14th. Morning work. 7:50 A.M. When I went to the glade at 7:30, the thrashers were working on the nest at Sta. C. They continued for several minutes before coming for worms. After eating they went back to work, Green- ie, this time, doing her part. This site seems definitely adopted for the first nest of the year. It has, naturally, on accounts of its location at the same point as Nest No.1, all the good and bad features of that site. About an hour later Brownie alone was working, G foraging for food and including me in her itinerary. She then supplied one or two twigs.
