her fears and she finally came out, joined Rhody and both went off slowly to the east and disappeared. Of course, it is not certain that the bird was Circe; it might have been still another one. Dr. R reports road-runner song from Dimond Canyon. Dr. Reynolds came over about 9:40 and reported a long series of road-runner coos in Dimond Canyon which may have been due to Rhody (or to some other bird), but, due to our not having recorded times exactly, it was impossible to tell which.

Nova begged him for food, clucking, and he gave her one worm at
