Barbe 1954 2. leve. 19. June 10 3.1 mi. N, 1mi. W FortDick, sealevel, Del Norte Co. Calif. where 496 had been. They both flew foraged high in the olders. 493 was one of 2 birds that flushed from high grass to an alder. 494 sat chipping in a small willow. 495 was singing in the top of a 12' redwood. saw bob-tailed young out of the nest today. The plant I called "Broom" is perhaps Lotus - see Journal. Bird 499 was singing in the top of a small conifer (spice?) The song in this area is rather variable. The major pattern is: - (-) \ -(-), \\ together. Bzz Beju Bgg Bu 500 was singing this pattern in an alder. 501 also was singin' in an alder, but flew to sow low lupine in the pasture. 502 was in a nearly clump of weeds, chipping, apparently mate of 501. 503 was singing from a dead stump 10' high, but flew to a small brush clump. Heard a bird singing from a pile of dead tree stumps. As I approached, another flew up from the grass. 505 is this latter bird. 506 was singing from a 3'stump in a pasture, not far (30yds,) from 505 & its mate. While standing quietly under the edge of some olders two birds started to chip, 507 is one - the other I shot, but it flew strongly into the woods. #505 was a female (29.9gm) with an egg in its oviduct, another 8mm ovum, + 2 ruptured follicles.
