journal 5. 1-620th 1984 Sagehen Creek, California Oct 14 then shot out of a tree (#253). Shortly later, a group of 4 (2M, 2F) arrived, sounding like Type 2. The ♀ of one "pair" and the ♂ of the other were captured, then the other ♀ & ♂ took off to the N together. Danny & I then went to the field station to get lunch, then we set back to the net site at about 11:00, and found 8 x-bills in the net. Two of them looked small enough to be "sitkensis", and another ♂ was type 2 size, but orange -- unlike any other type 2 males found on this trip. Later, a ♀ was seen around the net as she was shot -- was probably in the same group as the 8 in the net. Danny & I then weighed & banded some birds. At one point, a ♂ "sitkensis" sat in a tree and looked down, but he moved on. Pine Giskins (carolinianus) came to investigate and several were caught as then released. We left Sagehen at about 1:30 pm.
