Pitelka 1948 Aphelocoma coerulescens Aug. 29 Prisoner's Harbor, 50 ft., Santa Cruz I., Santa Barbara Co., Calif. 7:45 A.M. Lone bird calling from side drew west of 2nd Eucalyptus grove. Note given was the interrogation note, uttered intermittently. Some birds on other side of main canyon answered. The jay I was watching then dropped to ground and began searching for food, picking leaves and debris and throwing them to the side. This continued for a few minutes, the jay resting a moment, jumping up to one of the prostrate branches and then resuming his foraging. It found an acorn, and then moved up into the tree by short leaps, and left, flying into a neighboring oak and then across the canyon, through the Eucalyptus grove to the other side, where, as mentioned earlier there were other jays. Later - A pair noted in an oak-wooded area at the mouth of a small side canyon (oaks more or less continuous along southeast side of main canyon, also replaced by some scrubby, less leafy form higher in the side canyons and on exposed slopes), to which area their activities were more or less localized. They foraged quietly in the oak canopy, then flew off a short distance up slope. A lone individual (proved to be an adult male, #816) observed at another canyon-mouth woodland site. This individual remained quiet throughout the 10-minute period or so that I watched him. He too stayed in the area where first found in spite of the fact that my walking through it disturbed him at least twice. A loose flock of jays
