Sept. 9 Prisoner's Harbor, Santa Cruz I.
Hammering at some object it was carrying,
otherwise making no noise,
when the "male" apparently saw it for the
first time, and dashed at it, chasing it out of
the willow grove. The third gay flew
across an opening into an elm, where I
collected it. It was an adult male, and was there
again hammering at what proved to be a pine
nut. When the male chased, he did not call.
The female gave a frog note as the chase
occurred - dr-r-r-r-ka-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi; not
loud.
