1406. I drove up to the curb and parked the car about 20 feet from him, opened the window and spoke to him, getting immediate response in the form of lowered head, crying. Without getting out of the car I opened the door and showed him a mouse, then lowered it as he approached confidently, so that he could take it from hand from the running board. His reach was longer than anticipated, for he stretched over the board from the curb, took it, went up the bank, and as I drove off, was marching about with it, bowing, hrooing and tail-wagging. Nearly two hours later I drove by the roost tree and Rhody was peering out of the foliage with the mouse still in his bill; perhaps not trusting the weather, as it still looked threatening. About 1:30 P.M. I drove by again and he was still (or again) there. This is not his customary attitude toward this tree. On returning home at 3:30, Julio told me Rhody had been given a mouse at about 3:15, had taken it into the cage and was not watched further. I found him at 4 P.M. on the slope north of the fence near nest 2-36 sitting quietly with the mouse in his bill. This mouse was finally eaten by the Scamell house at 5:30. In the meantime R had gone to none of his nests with it, but had visited the mirror several times and had been persistent in offering it there, pressing it against the glass. He had also brought it to the running-board of a car at the Scamells' while Dr. and Mrs. Scamell stood there watching him, and also to the Scamells' window. Rhody has not been seen to work at any of his nests since last noted. What connection this has with the departure of R5 (not seen since given the mouse) I do not know. Brownie and Nova no longer work at the nest in the old oak and remain away most of the time. March 10th. At 8:10 A.M., after a preliminary survey of the grounds, I went to Rhody's roost tree, but did not see him. However, to my surprise, I soon observed him in the ladder tree following his regular route with a twig in his bill. This he carried to the "house" in the roost tree and deposited. It was noted that there were other twigs already there. So, Rhody is now considering that as another nest site! Perhaps, also, this accounts for his being so long in the tree yesterday. (And his loss of interest in other nests). At about 9:20 he was not at his roost tree, but it was seen that he has already made a substantial showing in the house: per- haps 30 or 40 twigs having been placed. I now began a search to locate him: At the west lot; the Scamells'; the field to the south; all his recent nests; the cage, without success. By this time I was pretty warm and sat down near the cage to rest. Almost instantly a soft wooh, wooh, woo-o-o-o-o sounded once, only. Renewed search located him, after about 5 minutes, only 30 feet from the chair I had been occupying, sitting quietly under the acacias 20 feet from the cage! When he saw that I had found him he began to "cry". The resulting mouse was treated with full honors, presented at the mirror, then taken over the fence to the north, past 2-36 nest-tree to the roof of the nearest house (Nichols') at 10 A.M. There I left him looking off over the country to the north and west, not neglecting to sun his back, and also not singing. He has two distinct types of performance at the mirror when there with a mouse, and a third one that consists of a mixture of the two. The first one is that generally exhibited on first ap-
