R. Benedicts Paul 1961 Calypc anna Sept. Botanical Gardens, University of Calif., Berkeley, Cal. 8 Nov. Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Visited feeder of Mrs. Francis McKinnon of 8 Panoramic Place, Berkeley. She told me her experiences with this species which has become attached to her feeder. The bird has become quite tame & once followed her into the house while she changed the contents of the feeder. The bird (a ?) is quite possive [sic] and druses all other birds from the immediate vicinity of the feeder (a chickadee also uses it), but during the last summer a ? S. sasin (Allen Hummer) banished it from her yard. The bird has come back. This bird shows a strong aversion to Sapsuckers and many times has been observed chasing them away from the laurel trees around the house. At present only one bird seems to be around the feeder.
