89 2 mi. W Zocafu, 7000 ft. June 19 collected 14 specimens in an area of 1 sq. block. This beg. is more or less continuous from north lake to a point 20 mi. or so west of Zocafu when you descend to lower, darent eventry. Oaks very common & big in some areas ; others such as the place where we collected seemed drier. Saw a nest in a fine 40 fut or more up in a crotch ; another possible nest in another tree. There is a red-wooded type evergreen tree very common here, where were in groups - adults & young. Can't be sure of make up of all groups but took 7, 9 & ju. from flock of 5 birds. The 9 seemed to be laying -- a second hood ? I was first attracted to hoods by hearing a call - long nasal - given by a female which was in nest-pine tree. She flew down to a dead bush (3 feet above ground) where I collected her. Flight seems identical with jocosus > like jocosus long flights are taken. Birds seem less wary than jocosus but this beg. is more open & hard to get hide. Young (ie. juveniles) ore especially tame & easily approached. They seem to give same calls as adults. Run along branches of pines and other trees working at a variety of levels but I think mostly low & they do go to the ground. Keep up almost constant chatter - especially when disturbed. Even after one or two birds of a group have been shot the others will sometimes remain
