A. Good 1980 Mountain Chickadeer 1 mi. N + 2 mi. W Crockett Pk., 3800 ft., Lake Co., Calif. 20 May Saw first chickadee of trip (see journal) in a black oak - tried squeaking at it but it showed little effect. I got close enough to shoot w/ 1/2 load but missed. The bird then moved off calling constantly and before I could get another shot at it it flew to the top of a large ponderosa pine + then disappeared. 22 June Telephone Campgrounds, 2010m, 1 1/2 mi N, 1/4 mi W Black Butte, Glenn Co., Calif. [T. 22 N, R. 9 W, N/W 1/4 sec. 27] Lots of chickadees here with many calling - I haven't heard a lot of songs. 22 June 1/4 mi N Black Butte, 2080m., Glenn Co., Calif [T. 22 N, R. 9 W, N/W 1/4 sec. 27] Shot a pair of chickadees here (with 1 shot) and also collected 7 nestlings from a nest which was undoubtelly theirs (see journal). 22 June 1/4 mi E Anthony Flk., 1950m, Mendocino Co, Calif. [T. 23 N, R. 10 W, SW 1/4 sec. 15] There seem to be fewer chickadees here than elsewhere today, although this may be because we got here late in the day. Songs of all birds heard today consist of 3 descending notes ("3 blind mice" according to Susan Kaiser)
