1. Growth 1987 Journal Sagehen Creek Field Station, elev. 6400 ft. 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. Junell I drove through Reno. I then (continued) went into California and went to my old site at the "crossroads" near the Sagehen Creek Field Station. I soon encountered a pair of Type 2 birds and collected them. Later, a flock of 8 type 2's came around but I could not record an individual and shoot it. (I did not have a net set-up). The flock took off after about 45 min, but meanwhile I did some recording and also watched birds forage. Foraging seemed strictly on old lodgepole pine cones, as some cones fell off the trees as the birds moved around. None of these were striped juveniles. About 1/2 hour later, a lone male came in, sang and called, and was then shot at close range. The day was sunny, and it began to get hot by noon. I packed-up and left by noon and drove to Berkeley. Arrived at Berkeley around 4:00 pm. Mileage on truck = 52795.
