It remained at the nest less than a minute, flying again to the south. At 4:18 P.M. it returned, with the young clamoring as before when it neared the tree. A person walked by on the sidewalk beneath before the parent had a chance to feed the young. It returned in about a minute, however, and got rid of the food. About 30 seconds later, it left the nest & landed on the lawn in front of me. It carried them & the caught two earthworms & carried them to the nest. Now both parents are on the lawn catching worms. One is one the grass catching worms while the other one is at the nest feeding the young. They stay on the nest only long enough to get rid of the worms, then back to the lawn. At each trip, the young flutter their wings and utter those scolding notes. At 4:28 P.M. the or took a load of worms to the young while the ? was gathering more worms on the lawn. The instant he left the nest, she was on the way to it. Both of them have always approached the nest from the south so far. Usually they also leave in the same direction, although twice one of them left toward the north west. The parents stand motionless on the grass, their heads cocked over to one side. Suddenly they will make a lunge and pull a struggling worm out of the ground. They will beat the worm against the ground
