Brown Thrasher in our Garden

28th [February 28, 1914]. On the evening of the 18th [February 18, 1914] he was seen to fly
into some pines in the Jungle where he doubtless spent not
only that night but various others when the vine roost 
was not occupied. In or near the lilacs at the rear
of the house we saw him by day when he was not
noticed that evening on the 18th [February 18, 1914], 21st [February 21, 1914] 26th [February 26, 1914] and 27th [February 27, 1914].
Without doubt he would have resorted more constantly
to the vine to roost had he not been so frequently 
disturbed there by people passing in and out the door.
The Nuttall Club meetings must have proved especially
trying to his nerves and indeed I think that he
was repeatedly driven away by them although withstanding
at least one or two early in the winter. Towards
the last of his stay he became so nervous as often
to fly from the vine and not return to it again
that evening, when one or another of us approached it
