Reservoir T.V. 143 Dendroctonus ponderosae Black-Pine Beetle Tree Drier Oct. 20 South end Sillan Sea, Temescal Co, Calif - J at Note: First found there on Oct. 16 by state game warden & first recorded for CA! I got a number of pictures from which the birds should be readily identifiable through a blower-dumb distance (three in description). Only one other sight of this - also very common, but seen as a single bird. Second record for CA! The birds were incredibly beautiful. When I was in the room with them it seemed like I saw two different species of bird. In my mind's eye I could see the blue jay and the crow mixed up and flying around together in clouds everywhere out use. The house while quiet and still, and even better - Cricked its wretched headband. Late we got much better gliding at them but paid for it with an incredible number of mosquito bites.
