come up to the house at all. I happened to be driving by No.1 at 4:35 P.M. and Rhody was only then making his way up through the ladder tree. He entered his house at 4:37. No thrasher song was heard today anywhere within hearing distance and Neo was seen only once, all alone, at the oval lawn and given worms. November 3rd. (Sunrise 6:37; sunset 5:10). No thrasher song heard during the day and Néo not seen; neither was his mate. Rhody spent most of the day at or near his post on the west lot. I told Julio not to give him a mouse until I saw whether he would come up here. The result was that Rhody finally came up about 2 P.M. and got meat from the cage. He went into house No. 2 at 2: 42 66°) but did not stay, eventually going to No.1, where Julio "hand- ed"him a mouse by pole about 5 P.M. His food requirement continues to be small—at least he wants little from us—but he presumably forages more or less despite his present sedentary habit. I do not see him hunting for lizards any more and the supply of these creatures (which I thought he would practically exterminate) seems to be on the increase, if anything. November 4th to 8th, incl. (On the 8th: Sunrise 6:42; sunset 5:05). No thrasher song heard during this period and thrashers seldom seen. (But see last paragraph). A period of fair, mild weather, except that it was overcast on the 4th, with maximum temperatures running in the high sixties and minima about 52°. Rhody patronized his west lot post every day, but with the exception of the 4th, came each day for one mouse, usually on being called from his post. On the 4th, he wanted nothing from us at all. At present one mouse per day seems to be enough for him, but occasion ally he adds one piece of meat. His two middle rectrices are not yet quite of the same length He seems to have finished pulling off the "dandruff". During this period he slept in No.1 every night, but often went to No.2 first, only to leave it for No.1 finally. The foregoing was written about 4 P.M. on the 8th. A little later Neo and his mate appeared at their inner sanctuary and there was a short series of songs. Julio went down and gave Neo worms, his mate remaining offish. November 9th. (Sunrise 6:43; sunset 5:04). At 6:33 A.M. thrasher song began in the garden and lasted for about 20 minutes. There appeared to be one principal singer and one other interjecting a phrase now and then, conforming to the Neo- N2 pattern when in the same tree. At 8:20, all being silent in the garden, I went out to in- vestigate. On reaching the immediate vicinity of Rhody's No.2 house tree, Neo came eagerly through the fence without having been called. He showed the greatest enthusiasm for worms, and confidence, manifest ed in many weeks. He talked to his mate out of sight in the bushes but scrapping mildly.
