Davis 1948 Red's Meadow, 7500 ft., Sierra Nat'l For., Madera Co., Calif. July 10, 1948. Resumed skinning, but the bird alarm Chorus resumed in about 10 minutes. The ♂ was back at the spot where I had shot the ♀. I collected it. The stomach of the ♀ was empty. That of the ♂ contained remains of 2 nesting birds, species unknown: 1 bill, 4 legs + feet, and a whole wad of black fin feathers (Junco?) The ♂ had 2 large fleas on it, and after the ♀ was skinned, a whole swarm of lice crawled from the fur. It would seem that the ♂ left the lair, fed, returned; the ♀ then left, was shot, and the ♂ then began to search for the ♀ when she failed to return. At 8:15 P.M., saw 1 Myotis-sized bat and 1 larger bat hawking for insects over camp. July 11, 1948. In a.m. drove to Stark weather lake, 8000 ft., about 3 mi. N of camp. As we parked the truck at the lake's edge, Betty noted a large red + gray bird in a low fir. When shot, proved to be a pine grosbeak. Shot another at top of tall crier sometime later, but it stuck in the tree. White-headed wood- peckers & Williamson sapsuckers very common
