Coquell 1950 Date June - July - S. Fork Yuba River & tributaries, 5200 - 6800ft, Glacer - Nevada Cos, Calif - old nests at 3 different locations (Loda Springs, Cisco, 2 mi. W Cisco) show no evidence of use this year -- and no birds were found along the streams near them. July 8 - Truckee River, 5580 ft; Nevada Co., Calif. - 1 adult was feeding (p.m.) 2 full grown fledglings on small boulders near the edge of the wide stream here. Foraging was done by peering under the water from a pre- carious perch on the sloping rocks, some food was obtained without putting more than the head under water, while sometimes the whole bird went under -- but no ex- tended underwater periods were noted. The food call of the young is a very loud one, carrying 300+ ft. above the sound of the water to where we were on the highway (vs 45). A double nest, apparently a new one placed mer- gent with the old one, is situated about 1/3 mile downstream; it is placed on the downstream side of a huge boulder, 2 ft. or so above spring high water mark. A pair nested here in 1948 also. July 10 - Only 1 bird seen at this locale.; it sat on a small boulder in mid stream & preened. July 22 Cisco Grove, 5650 ft., S.Fork Yuba R., Glacer Co. Calif. 1 foraging in slightly riffled, gravel-sandy better stream, using exposed roots & stick debris both at edge & in mid stream (at one point) as perches.
