Redon, 1942 Calliope Hummingbird E. Fork Sheep Creek, Knip Canyon, 5500 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. Cedar Grove, S Fork, Knip C., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. May 23, 1942 Sew to remain 12 minutes on nest, herky jerking. Few head movements only indications of movement. Unable to see where she went, but returned in about a minute, this time going directly to nest without zigzagging and facing south. Apparently, this time she left without being frightened and although we were within her line of vision, she did not sit herself specifically to watch us; no, did she hesitate on approaching nest as she does when she has been frightened off. Stayed on nest 5 minutes. Flew N., & in circle; perched in oak a few limbs (4 ft.) above nest, down below nest & into nest from usual side, directly, no zigzag- returned 1's min. Noticed once when I arose, first slow, careful forward movement did not alarm her, but movements upward, which brought us near the nest resulted in her flight: left once for about 2 minutes (result of my arm movement?) & seen in oak to the N.W. cleaning her bill on her lady and on [illegible] the branch. Return at that time included a little hesitation in getting to the branch but once there, she stepped directly into the nest, not actively fluttering her wings this time, but merely adjusting them as she stepped. Every single move on my part resulted in a little jerk of the head on hers.
