or personal adornment. Naturalists
are eager to capture the cock of
the-rock for ZOOS, museums and
study purposes. The bird has a
wide range, and in some Of its cho-
sen haunts it is quite abundant.
The female is clad in somber
brown. She apparently approves OF
her mate and alwayls encourages
him with special little note. As a
building expert, she falls well be-
low the standard for bird-nursery
constructors. Mud and leaves are
blended together as a stucco.. This
she plasters against rock, making
a pocket large enough to hold two
black-dotted eggs.
The male does not have the gift
of singing His voice is really quite
harsh and shrill, often resulting in
deep. throaty croak. But he has a
compensation for this lack. He Is
one of the most finished of bird
dancers.
For years natives have reported
the fantastic performance of the
cock of -the-rock. But only recently
has a naturalist had front seat
for an entire performance. We owe
the careful description of the dance
number to DR.. Schomburgk.
The dance floor may be the smooth
surface Of q rocky crag or q velvety
carpet of moss. The performer Sc
lects one section of the surround
ing brush. and the highly alert au-
dience, the females, occupy the
most advantageous view of the
stage.
The dancer steps forth. The tail
is raised and dropped to show to
best advantage. The wings are ex-
panded to their limit. The dance
steps at first are slow, some quite
intricate. The audience voices de-
light by sounding . peculiar note
which inspires the dancer to quick
en- his pace. When too weary to
take another step, he flies to his
comrades amid q screaming round
of applause from the ladies. Another
dancer Immediately replaces him,
and the danes goes on.
