1488. Okii and Chiisai have now reversed their recent attitude toward meal-worms and are now fond of them. Okii, like Archie-- to continue the parallel between these birds and the young road- worms and the box in which I carry them, so that almost immediate- ly following the revival of interest in these creatures, mere sight of the box brought him up into my lap to get them. Chiisai, like Terry, was slower, in fact responds but rarely. However, when he sees what Okii is doing, is very apt to follow. July 14th. Much the same as yesterday. Rhody continued to eat both meat and mice and displayed for all of the latter. He worked on nest 8-37 occasionally and also sat in it quietly a matter of hours--perhaps 4 during the day. Broken-Wing now visits Brownie's feeding station and carries food from there to the brood. Okii and Chiisai have lost the "black" color of their irides and have taken on the same coloration as Greenie. As yet there is no evidence of the redder hue of Brownie's. (But see July 16th.) July 15th. Rhody found me about 10:30 A.M. and wanted a mouse. Display followed at convenient reflecting surfaces, including the newly discovered French window in the basement, and the mouse was eaten in 8-37. After this followed addition of more twigs to the structure and more rest. Due to absence, no further observations were made during the rest of the day. July 16th. With regard to the color of the irides of O and C, referred to in notes of the 14th.: I believe, after more careful examination, that a warmer tone is now creeping in, and that it is more marked in Okii than in Chiisai. It seems to commence at the outer circumference of the iris. Okii and Chiisai are now fully convinced that they have been overlooking something in the past in disregarding meal-worms. Since the change Okii has become more vocal, in that he now yips , like Chiisai, when he wants worms. I did not see Rhody until he showed up at the cage in the early afternoon,(about 1:30). The rest of the day was spent loafing and so forth. He had no mice, but condescended to look at my offerings. Meat was all he took. July 17th. Rhody repeated yesterday's behavior as to time of appearance, b but, after eating meat at the cage and having a good rest, followed me for a mouse, which received full honors. Just before this he gather a sheaf of pine needles and placed them carefully in the nest in the glass house. Chiisai is gradually coming to associate the worm-box with food. Okii's association is so strong that he almost seems never
