1001 Archie, having climbed upon his back today and chewed his ear. A log will be kept showing time of feeding and anything unusual. ................................................ June 25th. to July 4th., incl., absent in condor country. July 5th. Road-runners. On returning found the young road-runners in good condition and tame. Growth. They have grown considerably and are now catching up to their feet, which do not now look abnormally large. Change in eye color. The most striking change is in the color of their irides, which have faded to a much paler tint of the same hue. The ring about the pupil, which is brassy in Rhody, is now much lighter and more conspicuous, although showing no yellow. Handling of living food. They can now handle mice and lizards that are partially stunned quite expertly. Archie A a "sport". Archie is still the farther advanced of the two and retains his more enterprising and aggressive characteristics. He is much more like his male parent than Terry. This is especially notice- able in his handling of food, which he almost invariably tries to "kill". He shows Rhody's sporting instincts by giving lizards and mice a chance to escape and by playing with them. However, his judgement as to the extent of the risks that can be safely taken is faulty and he sometimes allows his prey to escape. A bosses T. Size. I should say that they are about two thirds the length of their parents overall. ( Got home before midnight, Joke it) Rhody home again. The day before I returned Rhody returned, being somewhat assist- ed in the process by Dr. Reynolds' man, who saw him over there and followed him here, where he entered the cage while Julio was in it, got meat, etc. He also came today. B shy while I away. Brownie was only contacted twice during my absence. He would not come to Donald Brock. I did not see or hear him until the after- noon of the first day home, when he came to me readily and jumped up to my lap for worms, as usual. July 6th. and children. Rhody came again today, visited the cage for meat. Paid little, in fact almost no attention to his offspring.
