1613. Concentration of birds at a feeding station. Song Sparrows, several, Nuttall " many, Gambel " , Golden Crowned Sparrows, many, White Throated Sparrow, one, English Sparrows, a few. Brown Towhee, several, Spotted " one, Quail several, Juncos many, Linnets a pair, Silver Pheasant, one. This unusual concentration of birds at this time and place is believed to be due largely to the heavy snows at higher altitudes as a result of the present storm. (Snow on level at Soda Springs 158 inches--U.S. Weather Bureau). Thrasher song sounded from the N.E. until about 10:30, when it was heard from Neo's home place. I went there, reached into the honeysuckle and he ate worms and Hamburger from my palm. When food was withheld he retreated two or three feet and resumed song alter- nating with talk and fussing with the stalk of the honeysuckle. N2 was present and came out to eat soft-food from the dish. A worm tossed to her was gobbled by a towhee and caused Neo to break off in the middle of a song and come out to a point where he could ob- serve affairs better. I offered no more food and he settled himself comfortably on the branch, puffed out his feathers so that they en- veloped his feet and the branch, making him look as if he had been neatly skewered crosswise. He was prepared to stay as long as I and kept up a stream of soft talk with his mate while keeping an eye on me. As a matter of fact, he stayed longer, as other affairs called me elsewhere. An hour later he was still at home. (52°). At 11:50 I went down to see Rhody. He was not in his house, but soon came out of the bushes with that bright, expectant look of his when he is hungry. He said nothing but came quickly to take the offered meat from my fingers. It was raining a little, but he was dry. At 4 P.M. he was still not in his house, but in a few minutes he came poking through the brush to see what I had to offer, and was given a mouse. He did not go to his house until 5 P.M. (Julio). Neo remained in and about his nook on the south bank most of the time during the daylight hours. (A day of alternating sunshine and shadow, with negligible rain). Feb. 7th. 12:25 P.M. So far this has been a day like yesterday as to weather. Rhody in a high state of "exaltation" Action during two hour period. At 9:15 A.M. Rhody was heard singing nearby, west of the house and was found in the branches of the hollow oak below the wall. When I talked to him he clapped his wing loudly over (or upon--it is uncertain) his back and sailed down to the N.W. corner where marched about with more wing-clappings and song. He wanted no food and was in a state of high "ex- altation", singing at the rate of 2 to 4 songs per minute for the next two hours; marching about from place to place with frequent wing-clappings, climbing trees and sailing down from them--each time announcing his intention to take off by clapping his wings. He also frequently came to me as if desiring food, but stopped 5 or 6 feet away to sing or slap his wings, or both. He certainly was wound up and keenly at- tentive to all sounds and moving objects near or far. All of this was taking place on the north side of the house, sometimes on one corner and sometimes on the other. At 11 o'clock, think- ing that he probably had reached a stage in his cycle where he might
