1291 B. Experimental Shelter for Rhody, (Cont.). The sidewalls also keep the wind from getting at his tail from the side. The floor of the platfrom has holes bored at the four corners to let out any rain that may enter. On top of this floor is a "super" floor scored crosswise (See Fig.1.) with deep grooves. These grooves give further drainage and are , moreover, so spaced a as to enable him to get a firm grip in the event of his having to get out in a hurry. A perch is arranged in front for convenience in entering and leaving. The whole affair is camouflaged with dabs, streaks and splatches of white, green and red paint and "no paint at all". Figs. 3 and 4 below camouflage of struts (3) and effect of roof painting from below.(4). Fig.3 Fig.4. (Note, July 1937: Notes sussequent to Nov.18th.,1936 and to date, show that Rhody adopted the house for his sleeping place in all kinds of weather and that he surrounded the bottom platform with one of his 1937 nests).
