M. Reda Callopie Hummerbird E. Fork Sheep Creek, Kings Canyon, 5500 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. May 25, 1942 where she went. Sat with her eye on me (I was sitting a little [illegible] the east of south of the nest) & her beak pointing a little East of where I was sitting. She stayed on the nest about 6 min. [illegible], hovered over nest a moment and flew S.E. and then made an arc which took her Northward. Returned from N.W. & sat immediately on her nest, always looking from same direction. Was away roughly 2 min. Curiously enough, when she sat down this time, she began to move her head back & forth from about 3. to S.E., her beak at about a 60° angle with the horizontal. She kept this up, moving her head almost once every 4 seconds, for almost a minute then stopped & sat quietly once more. Was she watching for some food, or did she see some sign of danger? Sat on nest about 8 min., left while I was writing. Reappeared few min later to the N.W. Sit about 10 feet up from nest in other tree [?] and then moved to levels abt 2 lake above nest. Sat for a second looking around with side [illegible]
