Petelka 1943 Euphagus cyanocephalus June 12 2 mi SE Beegum, 1650 feet, Tehama Co., Calif. Several pairs are distributed along the course of the small stream passing by our camp and running down the valley flat. They appear limited to the immediate vicinity of the stream, as foraging is done only along the stream. There grasshoppers are abundant in the lush border vegetation and a variety of aquatic insects are present in the shallow stream water. June 15 One family group of 3 young was observed flying along the Beegum road with two adults. Other adults were observed gathering food over grassy areas along the stream edge to either side of the stream and carrying it to nests. One nest was located on the top of a digger pine. Black birds foraged most frequently along the stream edge, wading frequently and picking insects from the surface of the water. Grasshoppers were apparently one of the chief items of food. June 25-26 1 mi W Hyampom, 1200 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. A family group including three young was observed about the cottonwood willow grove in the vicinity of temporary Jords or cattle washes southwest of camp.
