him whining. When I found him, an hour or so later, now down from the tree, he followed me to the shop, whined and muttered as I fished for his mouse, grabbed it at once, began his ritual, included the mir- ror--everything with full honors--winding up in nest 5-36. I looked for him in the nest about 11 A.M., but he was not t there. However, when I approached the pine, four resonant rattle-boos, sounded from high up in it, though I could not see him. He had not been heard to utter a sound since last noted above. (The snake takes (Referring to note on page 1205, suggesting that the snake mouse from hand). might become tame: At noon I held a live mouse by the tail in front of him. In a flash he had it by the head and a complete coil thrown around it. Yes, this time a coil, not a bight.as before, and the mouse was taken from hand). June 21st. Brownie ceases feed- ing young. Brownie, beginning yesterday, is now getting worms from me entirely for his own account, showing probably that he considers his obligations toward his brood at an end. Renews sub-song. He is coincidentally giving more attention to sub-song. Long full song. Also from about 6:30 P.M. until after sunset (7;35) he sang full song almost continuously over at Robinson's, a new develop- ment of the season. Rhody varies behavior Rhody introduced some variation in his recent behavior. resumes nest Thus, as I was lunching in the cloister, a soft wooh, woo-o-o-o building. announced his presence 2 or 3 yards away on the lawn. He was not looking for me, in fact disregarded me entirely and began searching through the shrubbery for something. The something proved to be a forked twig. This he carried up over the roof toward the pine in which he has been so much interested lately; consequently I hurried there by a necessarily devious route, only to find no trace of him. Thinking he might have taken it to nest 5-36, I went there and found him working. He had carried this twig more than 70 yards. The woo and hroo calls. The wooh, woo-o-o-o salutation above referred to, is not the hrooch, hroo-o-o or hroo so often mentioned in these notes. While, of course, it is impossible to represent any of these correctly in letters of the alphabet, the foregoing indicates the distinction at least partially. The weo is softer and higher pitched, and "smoother" than the hroo. It is more of a head tone. The hroo is deep and vibratory. It is used mostly when he has a mouse or a lizard and is going through his ritual. The stimulus which excites it seems to be different. Ritual with mouse again, but new features. He sings coo song. Later in the day, when it appeared that he would like a mouse, he followed me to the shop, got his mouse and began his ritual, but this time, introduced two new features. The first was to stand perfectly still looking steadily off to the north for sever- al minutes. The second was add his courting coo-song, three times repeated in its entirety, before passing on to the mirror and then to the nest. Tries to cast up pellet? About 6 P.M. he spent about 5 minutes in what appeared to be strong efforts to cast up a pellet, without success. This is only the second time Rhody has been seen to make this attempt, though, as has been noted, Archie and Terry between them are
