the same family. T ate more than A during the day. I am somewhat surprised at the small quantity they eat, still I think that they are getting enough food, since they are getting all they will take voluntarily. In the aggregate during an average day, I doubt if they consume 2 ounces each. Certainly not four. There is no indication as yet of their needing several times their own weight of food each day as young birds are popularly supposed to have. Both are now able, at times, to pick up their own food when very hungry, but not always. Archie managed to handle a freshly killed lizard all by himself. The skin colors are increasing in brightness every day. While trying for a movie of A and T with an alligator lizard (of which both were somewhat fearful--though Archie displayed for its benefit), a robin was attracted to the scene and began sounding an alarm call and succeeded in gathering an audience. Including himself there were at one time or another, or all at the same time: 2 Thrashers, of which Brownie was one, 1 Purple finch, who remained fully half an hour, 2 Bewick wrens, 2 Plain Titmice, Several bush-tits, " Brown Towhees, " Spotted " One Humminbird, who left soon, Two pigeons. Possibly they were coming anyway. I do not know whether the lizard or the road-runners were the cause of the alarm. The lizard was a fierce one biting everything thrust at it and even going out of its way to attack things. It chased one of the young road-runners, with open mouth. Bit my shoe when it was not in motion. (The shoe not in motion). Also another smaller lizard and one of the baby mice, which it carried off. In view of this sort of disposition, I am inclined to think it was the common enemy, although when it was allowed to escape, much of the audience remained for a half hour or so longer, making comments.
