Cyanottra stelleri
2.
5 June, Glacia Point, Yosemite Park 7214#Mariposa Co., Calif.
Picked up dead 4 in afternoon, fairly fresh.
Put up skin 90 at 1930 hrs. Many small
ova some up to 1-1.5mm. Broadpath
well (completely) developed. Little fat.
Stomach contained much corn, one
whole sunflower seed, other objects
and pieces of egg shell. An extremely
soft and indented spot on skull
indicates something hit it. Whole skull
was soft.
In the afternoon we baited one with
bread crumbs and took 4 pictures (Bad 4,
no 5). Jays are extremely abundant here,
probably 30 or more in the area of the
point parking lot + hotel. (Topics cancel out)

U.C. Campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
A pair of larks in a Sequoia behind Union
was seen chasing a Fox squirrel. They
squawked loudly, flew at the squirrel,
apparently actually hitting its back.
It ran down the tree, backing part
way, then went into another tree. It
was chased all the way.

Ralph Platt got 2 birds in snail traps.
Dr. Petelha got feather weight data
from them. I decided I may as well
get gut lengths. nestg.
