Pitelka 1949 Aphelocoma coeruleocena May 20 U.C. campus, Berkeley Pair discovered by Childs along creek north of L.S.B. feeding young out of the nest and building a nest. The young, with only half- grown tails, are out of the nest perhaps two to four days. They kept to a thicket, within which the nest is probably located, as is typical for family groups of this age. Both parents (adults, not first-year birds) fed the young and also participated in building of the nest. The nest is located in an oak, about 15 above the ground. This site is about 50 yards away from the thicket where the first nest is suspected to be. May 27 Female sitting on nest.
