Not Hungry. other things, upon his appetite at the time. If not hungry at all --and he is not one of these birds that is always ready to eat-- and ignoring B,C,D, as factors at the moment, he may do any one of the following or combinations of them: Viz: a,b,c,d (rarely),g (rarely),h (rarely), i,j,k, and ex- tremely rarely l without or with m following. Hungry .........What he does depends upon how hungry he is. (Ignoring B,C,and D still). It may even be "a" for a little time at first (as if not wanting to admit to me that he is hungry--please note "as if") or as if really undecided upon a course of action. Following this, or with- a first, he may do any of the other things noted under"not hungry", and in addition e. and f. f more often than e. In fact f is has usual response if hungry--and it is not necessary for him to see food to show it. first It seems odd that he should do some of the things which one would ordinarily construe as signs of indifference, even when hungry. But such is the fact, although , if hungry enough, they are abandoned and approach follows shortly. (I got off the track here, as I intended to go through with A,B,C and D first. I will come back later to especially interesting- responses such as d,e,f,g.) As to B. Fear. The effect that fear has on his first response depends upon the magnitude and the cause of the fear. Weather ties in here as a cause of fear, in the form of wind. The observed causes of fear have to do with sights and sounds principally. sharp For example; sounds: Sudden gusts of wind in nearby trees, probably associated with suspected enemies such as as hawks. The voices of children at any distance. Scraping sounds, as of a single sycamore leaf sliding along the street. Anybody dragging anything. Alarm notes of other birds, particularly of the Brown Tow- hee--the greatest alarmist here, and of quail being chased by hawks. Any hissing or sibilant sound, such as water being sprayed on plants. Snapping of twigs and footsteps in dry leaves, perhaps sug- gesting the approach of predators, and similar sounds. Noises of automobiles if nearby. As an examples of sights: Natural enemies approaching or suspected of being about to approach, such as dogs, cats, hawks. Children and women, especially if talking and within 100 yards and in view. Strangers of any age or sex. More than one person, even when one is known. A swiftly moving motor car even if quiet and not directly approaching, though comparatively near. The effect of fear when I call him is to cause him to fail to repond at all, or at the most to merely glance at me. As to C. This is mostly concerned with sounds made by the wind, as giving rise to fear; but inclement weather may cause him to refuse to respond at all, and if it has been some time since he warmed his back in cool weather, his initial response on call may be to come out from under his bush and sun himself, ignoring
