Dendrocopos albolarvatus

14 mi. S Hayfork
Sep.6 (2 1/2 mi NW) Red Mtn 5300 ft. Trinity Co. Calif.
8:10 a.m. I chased one of this species from tree to tree, going
from SW facing slope over onto NE. It alighted
only near the top of the trunks of the taller
Jeffrey Pines. It called the rattled, dry "jik -
kik - kik" every time it flew & sometimes wh
perked. Its flights were about 50-70 yards
each, and I was not able to get a shot at it but
had several brief good views of it in flight, noting
the white head & wing patch.

x Jeffrey pine by "Smoky Creek Spring # 2" which
is at the head of the East Fork of that creek
& near the site where, Puffing Owl was observed
