as it is an ideal place for them and, incidentally for me. Rhody hung around all the time up to 1:15 P.M., at which time I left for the day. April 14th. R was heard calling early off to the east. B ditto, here, at 5:15 A.M. (B.A.) 9 A.M. Well, B has "up and did it". He just got worms for one of the youngsters, then gathered a good billful of small twigs and took them directly and without hesitation to the ideal place noted above, where he already has a presentable platform started. The first brood of the year has only been out of the nest 5 days and are, of course, still being fed by both parents. 10:05. After a long search for Rhody off to the north east, without success, I returned to find both him and the "departed" here Circe at my own place! Circe did not stay long, however, and Rhody climbed the observatory tower to get a wide view and to call (with rattle-boos exclusively). Circe answered off to the east with the same sound, then to the south. At about 10:15 I saw Rhody sitting on his rock at the high curve of this street and went out to him. Trailing Circe R greeted me with mutterings. (Soft rattlings of the beak with- out vocal sound). He continued this mixed with soft hroogs, looking toward the north east. Circe called from that direction: kuk,kuk,kuk------kuk-kuk. R sauntered slowly toward the sound, which was not uttered again during the following action, muttering and hrooing softly, always looking in a general north easterly direction, intent upon his ob- jective, but not failing to note butterflies, etc. He was in no hurry. He appeared to get some clue (which was lost on me), turned and trotted due east by my feet and went up into Robinson's. There he followed along the top of the stone retaining wall in a norther- ly direction, neatly catching a lizard en route which he carried with him, doubtless as a present for his intended bride. I fol- lowed on a parallel course in the street until I was pretty certain of being able to intercept his route when he emerged from the Robinson's, and then took a round-about course to wait for him near the Robinson north fence. This worked out satisfactorily and he was soon seen still in- side the fence working east. He arrived at the Robinson north east corner at 10:40 and
