10 April 24 First brown thrasher, in our tangle. April 25 Olus is really singing today for the first time since December, aside from occasional twittering or single notes. Matters in the sparrow community have come to a focus. Philip has left his chalk-box and has built again on top of the box occupied by Junior, who stays inside while Not-even sits near the "door" of the box. The two males are fighting fiercely most of the time. April 26 Philip and Junior have very plainly fought all day, and Junior's head is bare in places. We Examined Junior's nest this evening. He has completely filled the box with hay and other materials, leaving a pretty little circle-cup three inches wide and two inches deep, for his nest. He was greatly agitated over our bad manners. We coax the wood thrush to step onto a finger each evening. He does not like it, and shows his resentment by picking our fingers; tiny punches with no force. When we have played with him for a moment he willingly steps back to his perch. April 27 First yellow warbler.
