1784 January 11th to 14th, incl. During this period of summerlike weather, temperatures running from minima in the low forties and maxima in the high six- ties, events (or lack of them) worth recording, were: Rhody No song during last two days. Sleeping every night in No.1. No ritual when given a mouse. Increasing tendency to wander abroad suspected. Getting up at "reasonable" hours. Going to bed later (as observed on 14th after a day of almost total absence, not even going to cage for meat when not given a mouse at noonday). Continued interest, though mild, in magpies. No display at mirror; no observed nesting reactions. On the 13th, A.M., Rhody, at his post on the west lot, in plain view, in the open, attracted the attention of an Anna's humming-bird who (not the first time) used him as the objective of his "climb-dive-whistle-climb" performance. Rhody crouched each time as the hummer reached the low point of his arc about two feet over R's back. There can be no doubt of R's being the objective, since no other bird of any kind was near. Anna hummer does its power-dive-and- whistle for Rhody's benefit. Thrashers. Territorial song. Thrasher song could be heard at almost any time during day- light hours and began as early as 6:50 A.M. There was a notable increase in frequency and duration, which seemed to be inspired (on the part of Neo) by a rival bird (Inver?) in Inver's territory to the north and N.E.. Song could also be heard from the south (Brokenwing territory at Sampson's) but Neo concerned himself principally to song directed toward the north and east from singing points in the woman's land outside this property, including the "echo territory". Thrasher unco- ordinated nesting act ivity. Usually, when Neo came home, his mate was with him; both com- ing to me for worms and Neo occasionally occupying himself with picking up (and eventually dropping) twigs. There was also more song in Dimond canyon and Neo appears to have given that attention as well, singing from the Robinson place east of here. Hermit thrush "The" hermit thrush--there are several here, but only one seems to recognize me as source of food--now associates me so strongly with delectable food that he apparently watches for me. However that may be, he seldom fails to come out of the bushes and place himself in front of me whenever I go down into the or- chard and wait patiently for me to toss worms to him. He and the spotted towhee compete actively. The towhee overawes him. Audubon Warbler. For several weeks there has been a single audubon warbler almost constantly in a certain small pine tree on the south bank a few feet from the fig tree. He feeds on the scale ( or the honey-dew) found near the terminal tufts of needles and drives all other small birds away from the tree, sometimes pursuing them for several yards, returning to his tree. That there is honey-dew present is evidenced by the bees, yellow-jackets and an occasional hummer visiting the tree and feeding. (Too high up for me to veri- fy without getting a ladder). January 15th. (Sunrise 7:24; sunset 7:13). High fog this morning. lifting about 11 A.M. At 10:15 I went down to look for Rhody in his house No.1, thinking that, as he was thought to have made a considerable journey
