m. Redon 4 Colloque Hummingbird E. 7th May 21, 1942 Sheep's Creek, King's R. Canyon, Fresno Co., Calif. We could see that each movement or sound from one place would cause her to move her head slightly although she did not constantly move her head from side to side. Indeed, each move was a scarcely perceptible jerk of the head. She was frightened off again & then she returned perching again on the little branch below the nest, & then flying in again with 2 zigzags. No or sight at all. Nest seemed protected from sun with over-hanging leaves? Moving notebook back & forth yielded side to side head movement. Also with movement up & down slight jerk. Off = 32 seconds On = 30 sec. Then off. Seen in tail, sparsely leafed cedar behind the tree in which nest situated & cleaned her bill & preened. Then back direct facing us still. Noise from down path -> off nest. Then people came to us; she flew back on, watching them, head turned with eye on them. They moved up trail & again she left nest; then she came back, again with heat turned & right eye on them; a movement on our part now led to slight head movement. They were out of sight then a movement by us yielded no movement on her part; her attention was apparently on us now. May 22, 1942 ca. 5 p.m. sitting on nest. Watched for about 5 min. She did not move!
