the immediate vicinity had ceased. I went to the north side of the house. There, in the shade, the winged termites were clustered near their holes and were sluggish. I did not watch them. The first opening from the ground is very tiny and the term- ites squeeze out. Since their wings are much longer than their bodies, some, due to pressure from below, are "extruded" so far that they are supported only by their wings and their legs can not touch the ground. They are stuck, wriggling frantically, seeking for a foothold. They will grasp an offered finger and haul them- selves out the rest of the way. Argentine ants in small numbers gathered to attack the term- ites, clinging to their wings and legs. The termites usually freed themselves. (End of this note). At 10 A.M. I went to the western fence. Rhody was at his observation point on the bank. He remained there just long e enough to show that, when he joined me at the fence, it was only because he had already planned to move in that direction long before I appeared upon the scene. Thus he saved face. Once at the fence, as long as I understood the situation, there could be no loss of dignity in reaching through the mesh and taking all worms offered. Also, when I moved to a place where there was an opening below the fence that he had frequently used, he assumed that I would not acquire any false ideas as to my attractive powers if he came through and caught worms tossed to him. When children's voices were heard down on the street Rhody became nervous and retreated into the bushes. I believe he stayed on the west lot all day. He was seen no other place. About 2:15 P.M. he came down from his bank to take a live, white mouse from me, then went back again. No attempt was made to get into touch with him during the rest of the day. Thrasher song continued at low ebb. November 2nd. Rhody was still in his roost at 8:25 A.M., temp. 46. It may be that lower morning temperatures incline him to stay in his roost longer. At 9:20 he was sitting at the top of the bank ready for worms. While catching them he frequently stretched to his full height and stared intently toward the house. I attached no special signifi- cance to this until, on returning to the house, a hawk flew out of a tree 5 Or 6 yards from me and a cloud of feathers from some small bird floated down. As near as I could tell this was the point at which Rhody had been looking. About 2:30 he was out in the street, across from his post, much interested in something in the shrubbery. A car was parked a few yards from him. I called him from inside the western fence, 50 yards away. He turned his head at once, started toward me, paused to look at the car, the occupant of which was unaware of his pres- ence, but knew something was afoot, crossed the street, climbed the bank and came to reach through the fence for worms. The per- son in the car watched his approach, no doubt with surprise.
