J. Groth 1986 journal 141. Aug 12. Captured (bird 501) and Type 2 adult ♂ was captured (bird 502). Although this place seemed very good, the logging operation started up by 6:00 am, with noise that was very disturbing even though 3/4 of a mile away. I left the area by 7:45 and tried to find a new place. After driving around, I finally settled on a lodgepole area somewhere about 5 miles E of the earlier spot, near a clearcut. Here I found Type 2 birds, and collected bird 503 (Type 2 male). I observed a group of Type 2's feeding young -- the young birds were giving both begging and flight calls. One bird was not fed, being low in the trees. I poked a stick at it and it flew strongly to a near tree. The bird was the only one I saw with a short tail and wings. The incoming adults were looping before the feeding events. I collected the young juvenile (bird 504) -- his tract was empty... I wonder if he was related to ♂ #503?
