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.
