Behle 1933 Mad River ford, 2700 ft., above Rush, Trinity Co. Calif. May 22 The ♀ was on the nest when I approached. Her bill was resting on the rim of the nest and her big eyes appeared on a level with or just above the rim. Due to crowded condition her tail was nearly vertical and rested against the rear wall of the cavity. She remained perfectly motionless until I approached to within 7 ft. and stopped to observe her. Then after a moments hesitation she left. The ♂ was somewhere nearby singing.
