Their feathers show metallic reflections. The pupils are still "fluorescent". The irides are dark brown with, as yet, no brassy ring about the pupil. A raises his crest frequently; as yet T has not been seen to do it. A snaps his beak a great deal; T less. The hum-buzz is heard less than a sort of croo, with well rolled r. Reminiscent of the distant call of the sand-hill crane[?] 2 P.M. I have just checked up on this call. The nearest I can approximate it is: Oor, long drawn out: O-o-o-rrh. A complaining sort of sound, mostly used by A. The oo as in poor. A is shorter tempered and has a wicked snarl. I have made a nest for the two birds and curiously enough, since they have begun occupying it, white predominates in their excreta and the membrane is wholly or partially restored. A's excrement is nauseatingly fetid. but not T's. 2:10 P.M. A has seemed anxious for food, pecking at it in my fingers but dropping it, ooring and snapping. His resistance final- ly broke down, he changed his tune to uk, uk, uk rapidly repeated, and took it hungrily. Neither needs any help. At 3:15 I went to the nest and waited about a half hour, but there were no signs of either parent. The nest is perfectly clean. It is much more firmly supported than I thought. I find that pine needles have been used in the lining. 7 P.M. Rhody, contrary to my expectations, did not come here at all during the afternoon. June 13th. The young quail appear to be doing well under forced feeding. Terry takes food readily, opening his mouth and quivering his wings when hungry. Archie is still afraid of human beings and does not take it so readily. It was necessary to open his mouth and put the food into it at his first feeding this morning.
