nested last year. The distance traversed was of the order of 400 yards. It was covered quickly, and from the precision of his direction, it would appear that he had a definite objective in view. By noon he was back here again, on the roof, calling, with another lizard. He finally went off with it (I was unable to note the direction taken on leaving here) but was back again in a half hour without it. He loafed around here until his bedtime. March 2nd. Rhody was calling about 8 A.M. (though he may have called earlier elsewhere). About this time he appeared outside the din- ing room windows, prospecting through the shrubbery, climbing the trees, investigating the interior of a gargoyl-shaped water spout that leads to a second story balcony. He then sat on the sills of various upper story windows, looking into the rooms. When I went up to investigate his activities, he huh-hrooed to me softly, deep in his throat as he reached for the proffered worm. Next he resumed his search in the branches of the trees and through the shrubbery below. Two or three hours later he was back again on the roof with another lizard. An hour or so later the lizard was missing. The thrashers still pay little attention to their nest, and Brownie is not singing much, and then principally in the morning early. Since the last night-alarm at the cage, the young roadrun- ers have continued to be uncertain as to their sleeping quarters, though Terry, for the last three nights, has adopted the new nest without being placed in it after dark. Archie has alternated between his old hanging nest and Terry's old shelf in the upper annex, with preference shown for the latter. We have been having a succession of rather warm, clear days, temperatures at the cage running 80 to 86. Under these conditions A and T sun their backs only in the early mornings and evenings when the temperatures run a few degrees each side of 60, with occasional short periods of sunning after having been in the shade for considerable periods. March 3rd. Rhody, when last seen, was on the Reynold's chimney looking toward Dimond Canyon about 11 A.M. He did not come to the cage in the afternoon, though he was heard once or twice calling a considerable distance to the N.E. At 5:30 P.M. he was not in his accustomed roost. 7:25 P.M. He is not there now. All this, taken in connection with the shortened period of his carrying "bouquets", suggests that he may have located a part- er, or that he is extending his search farther afield. At no time has he appeared to consider either Archie or Terry as a possible consort. Whether this means that they are both males, too young, are recognised as being inaccessible or that he is restrained by too close consanguinity, or that he has pretty definite prospects elsewhere, is, of course, unknown.
