Mr. Redon, 1942 Calliope Hemmingfield - E Fork Sheep Creek, 5,500 ft, King Canyon, Fresno Co., Calif. May 30, 1942 Upon her return, she sat on bench, several feet from the nest (cedar) for a few minutes, looked around and out next. She sat on the nest for a very short time perhaps a few seconds & disappeared for a short time. Upon her return, she fed her young again, probably always on the same side of the nest; She feeding movement involved long downward jab - then her beak, with wings, wet - looking red, was pulled back up; She made a jab somewhat to the side of the other (and nestling?) and this jab was accompanied by pumping movements of mother & slight up & down jerking of the mother's beak. She raised her beak & seemed to swallow. Then she moved her head from side to side while beak still pointed downward. Finally, she gave last jab in the same region as her first & sort of canted on to the nest. She seemed to move her breast forward & down, then with a slight jerk to let loose the stay of the nest. She sat on the nest for seven minutes, was gone for three minutes. She sat for a few seconds
