m. Redon, 1942 Callope hemmerghild C. Fork Sheep Creek, King Canyon, ft. Fresno, Calif. May 25, 1942 Away from nest: (very rough figures) 7:50-7:51=1 8:38-8:42=4 8:00-8:03=3 8:54-8:56=2 8:20-8:22=2 9:01-9:04=3 8:28-8:30=2 May 28, 1942 Arrived at region of nest at 10:57. Bird off nest as we arrived & became [illegible] our presence, hei- tated a little about coming onto nest. She finally came back onto nest, stayed, however, for but a second & started fluttering about again. I did not watch her for awhile since I was busy with some notes. Decided to search for a possible feeding ground for her. Hunted around quite a bit and could find no definite place which [illegible] had enough flowers to suggest a set feeding ground.

At 11:30, Dr. De Vany came back down and we ate lunch. The De Vany came [illegible] Mr. Decont to take picture of the hemmer & nest. Shortly after two p.m.
