and sat there for awhile. The male meadowlark 
flew down with an angry note and chased him and 
what surprised me most was that the kingbird made 
no effort to retaliate. The female fed them 
cutworms and measuring worms.

The male did not feed them to ny knowledge 
while I was there. He kept in the top of an 
oak and scolded me.

This morning I was down in Dan Fullmers. Saw 
a pair of kingbirds along a wire fence. They 
sat so still that I did not see them at first. 
They made short sallies and returned to the 
fence generally in a new' place. Once one sat 
for some time but saw' nothing to eat and so 
flew to another place. One of them watched a 
yellow butterfly but decided it was not good to 
eat and so did not chase it. Perhaps its erratic 
movements had something to do with its immunity. 
They gave the impression of being very alert 
and kept up a constant watch on all sides.

This mornir^j after breakfast I went down by 
Leiders bridge. A male goldfinch was feeding on 
some catnip seeds by the roadside. He was a trust¬ 
ing little fellow and allowed me to approach very 
close. He paid no attention to me at all as long 
as I stood still. Perhaps he thought that things 
that stood were not dangerous. He did not seem 
to find many good seeds in a head. Occasionally 
he raised head and sang. A rippling bubbling un¬ 
restrained song given rapidly and pleasingly. His 
hlack cap looked very pleasing. It did not cover 
quite all of its head. A passing wheelman scared 
him and he flew up and lit on a corntassel.
