1765 inland areas of the state, including the southern part, minima of 26° to 32° were common. Minimum here this morning 41°, clear, calm; many birds about the place; one of them coming into my bedroom at 6:40. A little early thrasher musical calling--not timed. At 7:30 A.M. (41°) I found Julio entertaining both thrashers by Rhody's No.2 house-tree. Rhody himself, 20 feet away, snugly stowed inside his house, looked down dispassionately upon our feeding activities. Besides the thrashers, one hermit thrush and one golden-crowned sparrow, came to have worms tossed to them. Rhody in No. 2 again. Rhody again slept in No.2 house, going there about 3 P.M. He had been at his west lot post most of the forenoon, but had responded to call and followed to the tool-house for his mouse. This creature was all the way down the birds gullet, except for the tail sticking out like a cigar, when Rhody disgorged it hastily, looked at it intently, then ran away swiftly down the road and did not come back. He had eaten a small piece of meat an hour or so earlier. Rhody disgorges mouse. November 14th. At 7:30 A.M. not so cold as yesterday (51°). The day fair, calm and mild. Early thrasher song not heard, but Neo seen and fed. N2 not seen. No song during the day. Rhody spent most of the day at his post on the west lot, but came up for a mouse on being invited. He slept in No.1. Probable reason for Rhody's preference for west lot at this season. At this time of the year the shadows of the trees are long and my grounds are so full of trees that few spots in them from which there is a good outlook remain constantly in the sun. Consequently Rhody would have to shift position often. The south side of the west lot is without trees, but with scattered low shrubs. It has sun from sunrise to sunset and commands a wide view. Here Rhody can select a spot and not move for hours. November 15th. Thrasher short "calling" songs at 6:25 A.M., then ceasing for the day. At 7:30 A.M. 52°, sunny and fair all day. Neo seen and fed. Rhody continued occupancy of his post on west lot, coming here for his mouse; them going to No.2, but again abandoning it for No.1 as late as 4 P.M. These changes are still a puzzle. Max. during the day 66°. November 16th. (Sunrise 6:51; sunset 4:58). First thrasher notes heard at 7:15 A.M.--late. Quiet the rest of the day. Rhody continued occupancy of the west lot. Driving by at 11:30 A.M., I saw him at his post on the bank and went to him and handed him worms. He came up for meat about 2:30 and then went to No.2 house at 3:14. Julio gave him a mouse there at 4 P.M. A new probable cause of Rhody's leaving No.2 after going there at his bedtime. At 4 P.M. I found him still in No.2, but he was restless and appeared to be picking things off of the wall and windows of the house and off of his feathers.
