Howell, T.R. 1946 Journal Nov. 24; Las Trampas Creek, St. Mary's College, contra Costa Co., Calif Arrived at locality about 9:00 A.M. The country is hilly, sparsely wooded with oaks; the unwooded portion is grassy savanna-type country. We walked eastward along a dirt road through the canyon, and past a reservoir where water birds were seen. There were about 25 coots, 8 ruddy ducks, 1 baldpate, 2 ring-necks which flew off, and 5 pied-billed grebes. Most of the coots and the baldpate were feeding at the edge of a small mud- lump island. The Anna Hummingbird (only 1 seen so far) was poking around in a willow tree at the reservoir edge. One canvasback was noted sitting on the mud-lump, and a bufflehead, ? mallard and two more ring necks were seen at the far end of the reservoir. A single snipe was crouched on one of the mud-lumps. Red-wings sang occasionally from the cat-tails at the rim of the pond. Apparently a sharp-shin or some other hawk went after a flock of quail in the canyon, for they and the bush-tits sounded frantic alarm notes. Farther up the road were deep gullies with numerous oaks along the slopes. Here Flickers and Hutton Vireos were quite

At 10:45 a Red-tailed Hawk soared overhead. In the bushes under the oaks wren- tits could be heard, and they gradually worked out into the open in response to imitations of their call notes. As soon as the call imitation ceased they disappeared back into the shrubbery. In the thicker, shady deciduous woods Varied Thrushes were found feeding on berries of some sort. Other thrushes (hermit) and Bewick's Wrens als appeared in this type of habitat. A gray adult marsh hawk soared over the hills at high altitude. T

The races of the Canada goose were most abundant; Snow Geese, about 1/2 or 2/3 that number, and far fewer White-fronts. Mallards were quite abundant, with pintails second in numbers, and a few Shovellers and Baldpates. Many ducks were seen late in the day when it was too dark to identify them. In one marshy area we saw hundreds of Night Herons, mostly in adult plumage. At about 5 o'clock a small flock of about 5 adult ♂ pheasants and 1♀ was seen, and single birds were noted frequently earlier in the afternoon.

Jan 19— A flock of about 30 white Pelicans was resting near the top of Bird Rock, and another flock of equal size at the shore end of the Rock. Hundreds of cormorants, most of which, at least were Brandt cormorants were on the rocks or in the water. 4 Black Oyster-catchers were resting on one of the small rocks. A pair of Harlequin Ducks was in close to shore, and a flock of about 6, mostly drakes, flew past a little farther out. 2 or 3 spotted sandpipers flew out from shore and perched on the rocks. Western and Glaucous-winged Gulls were present in moderate numbers, and a few Brown Pelicans flew by. A good-sized [illegible] group of Western Grebes (about 25) drifted along just beyond the rocks. Seen in a pasture while approaching the shore were the following: Black Phoebe Am.

The whales, which were identifiable only negatively as not Killer Whales, were blowing and splashing. only a few hundred yards from the shore line on at least two occasions they seemed to be in pairs. About 6-10 were seen, assuming that they were not all the same individual(s), which is unlikely as they were seen quite a distance apart. The deer were all young does as far as I could tell, and not very wary. About 10 were seen. At about 11:00 A.M. 4 beautiful male Harlequins and 1 female came in close to shore and walked up onto the base of one of the larger rocks. They were in perfect plumage, so that all the chestnut, slate-blue and white markings could be clearly seen.

Howell, T.R. 1946 Recurvirostra americana Nov. 3; Bay Farm Island, Alameda Co., Calif. As the tide began to recede from the flooded fields at the [illegible] west end of the island, avocets flew in from the east in flocks of 10 or 12 and alighted. They feed by dipping the bill in the water and swinging it from side to side.

Howell, T.R. 1946 Rallus longirostris obsoletus Nov. 3 Bay Farm Island, Alameda Co., Calif. After the tide goes out, the rails come out of the marsh grass and probe around in black, semi-liquid mud. If necessary they swim across stretches of water a couple of feet or so in width. If probing is successful, the rail comes up holding a clam or snail or mollusc of some sort in the end of its bill, and then hurries back into the marsh grass with it.

Slightly over 30 individuals of this species were seen on the Refuge, most of which were in one flock. About 1/4 of these were young birds in dingy grayish plumage. The adults seem to have a wash of yellowish or pinkish color over the head and upper neck. I could not make out the yellow spot on the [illegible], but they were all at long range. The call note is a distinctive "hooting honk", deeper and altogether different from that of a goose. They take off from the water only with some difficulty, as they paddle the water with their feet like coots. once aloft, flight is quite easy.

Howell, T.R. 1946 Branta canadensis Dec. 14. Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, Glenn Co., Calif. — There were at least two races of this species observed here — leucopareia and minima. The former is about the size of a white-front, and is somewhat pale on the breast; the latter is only a little larger than a mallard, brownish (and hence darker) on the breast, quite short-billed, and with a high-pitched note. The races seemed to mix with one another indiscriminately, and occasionally with flocks of snows and white-fronts. They preferred the drier stubble fields, and were observed picking gravel out of the road.

Howell, T. R. 1948 Between Port Gamble, Kitsap Co., and Shine, Jefferson Co, Hood Canal, Washington Feb. 12 - I got a good close look at a pair of American Scoters (♂+♀), both on the water and in flight, close by the ferry which crosses at this locality. Surf Scoters were numerous in the vicinity, and a few Western Grebes swam lazily by, one of them with one foot extended out of the water. The Surf Scoters were the only birds (except the 2 Am. Scoters) which flew as the ferry approached; the others either swam away or dived. There were 3 Guillemots observed in the crossing, one in winter plumage and 2 close to breeding dress. About 5 murres were seen, at least two in what appeared to be breeding plumage. I noticed two very small Alcids in winter plumage which I believe were Ancient Murrelets; they showed much grey on the head and back. A single Holboll's Grebe swam by close to the ferry. A few American Golden-eyes and Buffleheads were noted near Shine.

Howell, T.R. 1948 Wildcat Canyon Tilden Park, Berkeley, Contra Costa Alameda Co., Calif. March 22. Single Batrachiceps attenuatus was revealed by overturning a rock. In pool underneath bridge several Triturus torosus were noted, two of which were in amplexus. The cloaca of the male was much expanded, projecting laterally beyond his body contours. The stroking of the cloaca by the hind legs of the male and rubbing of intermandibular gland on the female's snout were noted. Another male approached and poked the amplexed pair; the male of which sculled off carrying the female beneath him. The other male gave up. 2 females with distended abdomens were clutching the same branch under water, apparently about to lay. (2:30 PM; H2O temp. about 10 C 3 inches below surface; air temp 13 C) Several egg clusters were noted on a submerged bike tire. The branch with the 2 females on it was removed; one female dropped off. The other had the branch tightly clasped in an inverted position; with as yet unswelled cluster of eggs extruded between the animal and the branch. Hyla regilla were croaking in the same pond, the croak is two-syllabled. A Rana aurora was noted. (Triturus torosus) Several males attacked the same female at one time out in the middle of the pond. Nine egg clusters were found on the bike tire. In a small pool by the Clubhouse numerous clusters of Hyla eggs were found in all stages from "just laid" to hatching tad.

Howell, T.R. 1948 Clubhouse, Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co., Calif. March 22 - Two Hyla were marked thusly: Along a small rocky stream nearby Aneides lugubris (small one) and an Ensatina e. xanthoptica were found, both under rocks. Batrachocaps were very abundant Several Triturus were present in the stream, and under a rock another Ensatina, which rose up, and the whole tail oozed a thick milky secretion. It stood on its toes (see sketch), Under another rock I found a centipede clutching a pale yellow egg mass, which she (presumably) was reluctant to leave but did. 2 ♂♀ Triturus f. loaded with eggs were found in a relatively dry spot under a rock. An adult A. lugubris was located under bark, and a small Ensatina + minute (about ½") Batrach. under a small log.

Several Red-tailed Hawks and a single Cooper Hawk were seen soaring at about 1 P.M. At about the same hour a single Turkey Vulture appeared, and within half an hour 6 or 7 were in the air. In the late morning a single Hairy Woodpecker was observed drilling in an oak and chirping frequently. Calif. Quail were heard calling from time to time, and one pair was flushed from under an Arctostaphylos on a chaparral- covered hillside. Passerines seen were: Say Phoebe - 1; Horned Lark 1; Scrub Jay- numerous; Barn Swallow - at least 5; Violet- Green Swallow - at least two; Gnatcatcher-1; Plain Titmouse, several pairs; white-breasted Nuthatch - 1; Bluebird - several small flocks; Pileolated Warbler - 2 or 3 ♂s in song; House Finch - one small flock, about 10; Junco- numerous in flocks; Lark Sparrow - 1.

Howell, T.R. 1948 4700 ft. 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, Modoc Co., Calif. May 20. 6:15 A.M. to 12 Noon. Weather cloudy, cold; numerous patches of snow on the ground, and puddles with a thin film of ice in all sheltered localities. For a few brief moments the sun came out, but never for long periods of time. I started walking west towards Hackamore Reservoir at about 6:15 A.M. There were numerous Black Terns cruising back and forth across the water and occasionally feeding. One pair of Canada Geese was flying about over the water honking loudly, and one other goose answered from the water. I did not see a fourth goose, but it may have been nearby but out of sight. Three Eared Grebes, apparently a male and two Fs, were out feeding in shallow water. A pair of Mallards got up quacking. Red-winged Blackbirds sang from the shore. I turned north into a sparse yellow pine forest with a few incense cedars. Chipping Sparrows were abundant here, with Audubon Warblers in small numbers, a few Robins, and one Pileolated Warbler. Red-shafted Flickers were common and very noisy. Black-headed Junco were also abundant. In areas with a few clumps of Arctostaphylos, Green-tailed Towhees were fairly common; they gave a one-note mewing call. At about 8:30 the sun came out for

Howell, T. A. 1948 4700 ft., 8m N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, Modoc Co., Calif. May 20 - (cont'd.) a few minutes and warmed things up a bit. Olive-sided Flycatchers began calling, and a small Empidonax with a note which sounded like "whit!" became active; it never perched higher than 4 or 5 feet off the ground while I watched. In an area that was slightly more open and cleared, with a few dead pine stubs and scattered clumps of Arctostaphylos, the following birds were seen: Mountain Chickadee (singing); Pygmy Nut- hatch (pair); white-breasted Nuthatch; chestnut- backed Bluebird (flock); Williamson Sapsucker (1♂). Red-breasted Sapsucker (probably a ♀; collected + pickled; one seen + not collected, one seen later + shot — same one?); white- headed Woodpecker 1; Purple Finch (flock); Fox Sparrow (several pairs); Junco (flocks); Calliope Hummingbird (numerous); swallow - violet- green ? (several seen flying over); Green-tailed Towhee [illegible] (numerous); Tolmie Warbler (1♀ ); Black-throated Gray Warbler {about 5 or 6' } Chipping Sparrow (numerous), Empidonax sp. (numerous). small flocks of California Gulls and Black Terns were seen flying over towards the lake. Red-shafted flickers were common here as elsewhere. About half way between this place and camp I ✏ collected a solitary Vireo which was hopping about in a Yellow Pine. Chipmunks were very common everywhere,

Howell, T.R 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 20 - (cont'd) and a few golden-mantled Ground Squirrels were seen. I noted numerous deer tracks and saw at least 3 and probably 4 or 5 deer. May 21 - weather still cold (34° at dawn) with intermittent light rains - most of the snow melted. No sun from dawn to 12 noon. I took a trail heading south through yellow pine, manzanita, and occasional incense cedar. A Mourning Dove flushed from the ground just outside the abandoned barracks where we are staying, and a few Steller Jays set up a racket. A light drizzle began. I noted a Purple Finch singing, a small flock of Bush-tits in a manzanita clump (I collected), a Fox Sparrow (collected), a Black-throated Gray Warbler, and two more Steller Jays. I collected one (a ♀); the other I presume to be its mate, for it followed me and scolded for about 75 yds. Farther along the trail were Calliope Hummers, Chipping Sparrows, and Audubon Warblers, Flickers called occasionally. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, I finally brought down a white- breasted Nuthatch with a .38 aux. The bird was utterly fearless, and the shot spattering on the bark seemed only to make it curious. A solitary Solitary Vireo was nearby.

Howell, T.R. 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi W. of Canby, 4700 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 21 (cont'd) - I had now made a semi-circle and was back at camp; I turned west and walked along the edge of the Hackamore Reservoir. The vegetation on this shore is sagebrush and very small pine trees. Juncos, Chipping Sparrows, Audubon Warblers, Black-throated Gray Warblers. Empidonax ©, and Green- tailed Towhees were abundant; Black Terns were in good numbers over the water, a few California Gulls passed over, two Canada Geese were visible from the shore, and several Barn Swallows fed low over the water. Robins were in small numbers in the pines. I encountered a flock of warblers moving along the shore in the manner of migrants; most were Audubon and Black-throated Grays, but there were a few Townsends and Pileoloteds. The Townsend Warbler I collected was slightly fat. A Pygmy Nuthatch called loudly from a large dead stub. I watched him investigate an old woodpecker hole and then collected him. Several Mountain Chickadees passed through the trees calling but not singing. I turned southward again and walked to the same area mentioned in yesterday's notes which is somewhat cleared but with numerous large dead trees. Flickers were about and calling; I located a White-headed Wood- pecker (a ♀) and collected it; no others of this species were seen today. Fox Sparrows

Howell, T.R. 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 21 - (cont'd.) - were singing, even in fairly heavy rain. They seem to be paired off at this time. A Red-breasted Sapsucker, typical daggetti, flew in to a large dead stub and began to peck around the loose bark (see species account for details on this) and a ♀ Williamson Sapsucker was also around. By this time it was 11:00 A.M. and rain began to come down steadily; I went back to camp. At 3:00 P.M. the clouds broke slightly and the sun came out. I went back to the "Sapsucker Grove" and found a Red-breasted, almost certainly the same one again. It showed no effects from the shot I took at it this morning other than a wary disposition. It was constantly giving a whining, nasal cry which is nevertheless reminiscent of a jay's call. I couldn't get close enough for a shot. A Green-tailed Towhee came out of the manzanitas to feed on the ground; he (it) scratched with both feet just like a typical Pipilo. I saw a lone Olive-side Flycatcher but did not hear it or any other one call. A few Chestnut-backed Bluebirds came by, and Mountain Chickadees were singing. A ♂ Williamson Sapsucker was noted. A Red-tailed Hawk soared over, and shortly afterward another which was quite dark (melanism?) on the underparts. The only mammals seen were a few Chipmunks and Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels.

Howell, T. A. 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 22 - 6:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. - Weather clear, not very cold (several degrees above freezing, at least). I went to the same locality as on the previous day, by the same route, in order to observe the Sapsuckers (see species account). There were at least 10 Canada Geese on the Reservoir, one Eared Grebe, one Mallard, and numerous Black Terns and a few California Gulls. Red- wings were in song. In the small pines along the shore I saw one White-headed Woodpecker, numerous Chipping Sparrows, Juncos, and Audubon Warblers. I collected a warbling Vireo in a small pine: the bird was fat and doubtless a migrant. In the "Sapsucker Grove" were 3 sapsuckers (doggetti) one ? Williamson Sapsucker, one Hairy Woodpecker, several Flickers, Calliope Hummers, and one or two Red-tailed Hawks. I collected an Empidonax which had a 2-syllabled "che-bic" call. Tree Swallows (one pair) were nesting or starting to nest in a woodpecker hole about 40 ft up in a dead pine; the birds went in and out of the hole repeatedly, and one of them chased after a Red-tailed Hawk which flew close by. Olive-sided Fly- catchers were calling frequently, and Pygmy Nuthatches and Mountain Chickadees were also noisy. I watched a ? Chestnut-backed

Bluebird carrying nesting material (long strands - grass or pine needles) into an old woodpecker hole about 10 ft up in a dead pine stub 16-20 ft. high. Other Bluebirds of the same species were in the general area, seemingly paired off. A few Solitary Vireos sang, as did some Audubon and Black-throated Gray Warblers. A single pileo- lated Warbler (8?) was seen at close range in the manzanita. In the distance I heard Mountain Quail calling but was unable to call them up. Purple Finches were numerous and in song, as were the Fox and Chipping Sparrows. Juncos were common, Green- tailed Towhees less so. I noticed a Fox Sparrow which was singing from a perch drop down and start to drive a Towhee from its territory and then changed its mind as though it recognized a different species. In the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., while I was watching Sapsuckers, I saw about 50 White Pelicans sailing over very high in a general northerly direction They were in two V-shaped flocks of about equal size Two Killdeer were seen in the wet grassy flat at the eastern tip of the reservoir. Around the barracks were several Mourning

Howell, T.R. 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700 ft. Modoc Co. Calif. May 22 - (cont'd.) Doves and Robins. In the "Sapsucker Grove" there were lots of chipmunks and quite a few golden-mantled Ground Squirrels. The chipmunks seemed to be paired off but not the squirrels, I saw what I am reasonably sure was a Chickaree, at a good distance. One Rabbit (Sylvilagus nuttallii), a F, hopped out from among the manzanita and I shot it. I saw only one deer today, in a grove of small pines. May 23. Same locality: weather clear, warm. I went straight to the "Sapsucker Grove", noting Juncos singing and a Western Tanager along the way. A Green-tailed Towhee was also in song, and it reminded me slightly of the song of the eastern Red- eyed Towhee. It goes "chewink-SEE, chep-chep-chep." There were two Red-breasted Sapsuckers in the grove (see species account), and the usual Flickers, Bluebirds, Purple Finches, Empidonax Pygmy Nuthatches, Chipping and Fox Sparrows, Black-throated Gray Warblers, and several Western Tanagers, Hairy and white-headed Woodpeckers. I saw a large Accipiterine hawk, presumably a Goshawk, fly by in the distance carrying some sort of prey. At 8:30 A.M. I walked west for

Howell, T.R. 1948 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700ft, Modoc Co, Calif. May 23 (cont'd.) about a mile. I encountered more white-headed Woodpeckers, a pair of white-breasted [illegible] Nuthatches, a Townsend Warbler, and flushed a pair of Mallards out of a very small shallow pond. A few Steller Jays were about and I collected one. I came to the edge of the resevoir and noted 5 canada gese on the water and Audubon Warblers and Robins in the trees along the shore. There were a number of Ground squirrels out in an open meadow with a small pond in the middle of it. Black Terns were common over the rese- voir, California Gulls less so. I returned to the Sapsucker Grove and noted Red-tailed Hawks, Tree swallows, Olive-sided Flycatchers, and Solitary Vireos singing. I saw a Pygmy Nuthatch fly out from a dead tree and catch an insect in mid-air. Mammals in the area were 3 deer, numerous Chipmunks and Golden-mantled Ground squirrels, and a few noisy Chickarees.

Howell, T.R. 1948 KRE Pond, Aquatic Park, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Aug. 8 — The pond is very much dried up at this date with a heavy layer of scummy green vegetation covering most of the water that is left. On one small open spot there were 2 phalaropes, one Northern and one Wilson (Lebipes lobatus and Steganopus tricolor) and a Bonaparte Gull (Larus philadelphia) in winter plumage. The Wilson Phalarope was pursuing some sort of flying insect which alighted in swarms over the scum and quiet water. The phalarope was very quick and active in its feeding, attempting both to snatch the insects from the surface as well as catch them as they flew off. It seemed to be moderately successful at catching them by both methods. The Northern Phalarope was much less inclined to feed on the insects, and made only an occasional pass at them. Even the Bonaparte gull snapped at a few as it swam about. Four Mallards (none drake-feathered) were present, and numerous Barn Swallows, Forster Terns, Bonaparte Gulls (both summer + winter plumages), Western + California Gulls, 3 Farallon Cormorants, and 9 White Pelicans were seen soaring over at a good height.

Howell, T.R. 1948 1949 Twin Spring, 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 20 - I arrived at Twin Spring about 1:30 this afternoon after a tough drive from Alturas. The first 10 mi of the road were very muddy and slippery, but after that it was dry and easy driving. The Crowder Flat Ranger Station is 3/4 mi away but there is no one there now - the ranger at Canby said they expected to have a man in there on the 11th of June. The weather is cool and alternately cloudy and sunny today. I took about an hour's walk around Twin Spring hoping to find sapsuckers. There are Flickers, White-headed Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers, but I have not seen sapsuckers. There is a small creek with numerous aspens along it which show old signs of Sapsuckers. The rest of the trees are mostly yellow pine. There is a pair of red-tailed hawks which must have a nest close by as they are much disturbed at my presence. One, possibly the male, is melanistic - almost solid black on the underparts except for the tail and wing feathers.

This black one followed above me off and on for the whole hour, screaming and occasion- ally diving towards me, pulling up about 40 ft overhead, though. The other bird was the usual light color, and I have seen it only once. Other birds noted were Robins, House Wrens (singing vociferously), Mourning Doves, Audubon Warblers, Black-headed Juncos, Mt. Chickadees, Steller Jays, Purple (Cassin?) Finches, Chipping Sparrows, I startled one deer, a doe, out of a meadow, and golden-mantled ground squirrels and chipmunks are abundant. May 21 sometime during the middle of the night I was awakened by a terrific racket as though someone were trying to chop up the shack with a hand ax. I turned the flashlight on, got out of my sleeping bag and went over to where the noise came from; it was a porcupine gnawing on the floor. It began to get light at around 4:00 A.M. but I dozed off until 5:45. By a little after 6:00 I was down at the part of the meadow where

On the way I noticed Solitary Vireos, House Wrens, Mourning Doves, Steller Jays, Black- Headed Juncos, Mt. Chickadees, White- headed Woodpeckers, and Red-tailed Hawks. 4 small Canada-type Geese got up from far down the meadow and went honking away. I located a Hairy Woodpecker and finally one Sapsucker (see species account). I turned back and walked down to Willow Creek where I found another pair of sapsuckers (also see sp. account). The meadow is large and dotted with small ponds here. There are several redwings in it, at least one Wilson Snipe (seen and heard), one pair of Mallards and 4 M Mallards, Killdeer, 4 violet-green Swallows and one Barn Swallow. I walked a long way up Willow Creek and still could not find another sapsucker. There was evidence of their workings in many of the aspens and some of the small yellow pines, but I did not see nor hear any, although I did see a Hairy. Many of the aspens are felled and look long dead, but I

There are a couple of dams along the stream, but they are small and could conceivably be just pile-up of sticks drifting downstream. Two pairs of Sapsuckers, both mostly daggetti, is too damn few for a study. If I can't find more, including some nuchalis, I will have to pull out of here and look elsewhere. 6:45 P.M. More fruitless searching for nuchalis. I must be too far west or too low. Probably the best idea would be to spend one more day searching around here and then to try farther east. After walking myself to a frazzle I still have found only two nests, both daggetti or mostly so, and even the daggetti few and far between. I have seen for certain a total of only 5 s'suckers. Perhaps Russell and Hildebrand cleaned out the population here last year- I came in here on the strength of Russell's remark that they were "thick."

I could hear Robins and Solitary Vireos singing, but did not distinguish others. Went down to S'sucker (or Saps) nest #2, arrived by 5:30 AM. Skies mostly clear, a few clouds in the east. (see sp. account for saps.) Deer were [illegible] around, as always. Chickadees + Juncos sang. Green-tailed Towhees were mewing back and forth in the Sage. Flickers and Steller Jays called. A pair of Red-tailed Hawks have a nest high in a yellow pine near Saps. nest #2, and they (or rather, usually one) circle over me and scream constantly. At 5:50 the first sunlight came from behind the clouds. I walked up in the yellow-pine-manzanita area up above the willow creek meadow. A Western Tanager was singing, as were Black-throated Gray + Audubon Warblers. A small Empidonax is also around, calling. Saw a Pygmy Nuthatch. Juncos and Chickadees abundant, as are chipmunks, golden-mantled ground Squirrels, and Chickarees. I found another pair of typical daggetti, in aspens, with a pr. of [illegible] Chestnut-

Violet-green Swallows flew by. A few yards away (about 50) were at least one pr. of Hairy Woodpeckers. White- headeeds were seen earlier, in the pines. I returned to Twin Spring and walked down the road toward Crowder Flat, 3/4 mi. away. Here I encountered a small(10) flock of Red Crossbills and got two after a long chase. Some were in streaked immature plumage, and I noticed in one instance an adult and a young one going through the motions of feeding — I could not see food pass between them, but the young one begged and the adult reached out with its bill. The were all busy on the yellow pine cones. White-breasted Nuthatches were seen and heard, as well as Brewer Blackbirds in the wet meadow at Crowder Flat. Mourning Doves are heard constantly.

April 20, 1978 I returned to the apartment building after a long time and found that my room had been occupied by someone else. The furniture was gone, but there were some personal items left behind. I noticed a note on the table which said: "Dear Mr. Smith, We regret to inform you that your lease has expired as of March 31st. Please vacate the premises immediately. Sincerely, The Management" I felt confused and upset about this sudden change. I had just moved in a few weeks ago, so it seemed unfair for them to kick me out without any warning or explanation. My belongings were scattered everywhere, including clothes, books, and other things I needed for daily life. After trying to organize everything into boxes, I decided to call my landlord to discuss the situation further. He explained that due to financial issues within the company, they had to terminate several leases early. Unfortunately, mine was one of them. With no choice but to leave, I started packing up what little remained of my possessions. It felt like losing more than just a place to live; it was also a loss of comfort and stability during an already challenging period in my life.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Twin Spring, ____ ft., 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 22 (cont'd). Several Black Terns were seen flying about over the rese- voir and calling. The day was getting quite hot (fortunately, for a change) as there was lots of sun with occasional clouds. I returned to Twin Spring, without seeing anything not previously mentioned, at 11:45 AM. 2:45. I saw my first snake - a small, 18" brown racer in the dry sage near Saps. nest #2. I should mention here that there are two pairs of Red-tailed Hawks in the area; one (melanistic and normal) is close to the shack at Twin Spring, and the other, two normal birds (one a bit dark) about 50 yds from Saps. nest #2. I have seen both the nests - high up in living yellow pines. 3:45. Found a Hairy Woodpecker nest in an aspen 3 ft. off the ground which has a least 2 hungry, naked and vociferous young. Also at this spot I collected a garter snake. About 100 yds further, at Saps. nest #1, I saw several more Red Crossbills, even perching 10 ft up in a dead aspen. May 23 - clear, sunny, hot at midday.

Carpodacus sp. (I believe purpureus) were seen both yesterday and today. I have now moved in to a cabin at Crowder Flat, thanks to the unexpected arrival of 2 Forest Service men at the ranger station.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Crowder Flat, ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 24 (cont'd.) [See sp. account for notes on sapsuckers]. Chipping Sparrows are singing from the tops of small pines 10 or 15 ft., high, and juncos and finches from all heights. Solitary Vireos also range high, and the Empidonaces are common in the aspens and high in the pines. I saw an Olive-sided Fly- catcher in the top of an aspen, but did not hear it or any others. Audubon and Black-throated Gray Warblers are singing, as well as a number of Pileolateds, which I have not noted before. A pair of Warbling Vireos in a group of aspens seemed disturbed by me. One scolded harshly from a few feet away then suddenly sang, then scolded again and sang some more. Hairy and White-headed woodpeckers are active and noisy, as are the Red-tailed Hawks. I see lots of Brewer Blackbirds in the meadow. In the aspens by nest #3 I noticed the usual Juncos and House Wrens singing, Violet-green Swallows flying by, Chest- nut-backed Bluebirds, Empidonaces, and a Western Wood Pewee (first one). In the pines I came upon an injured ♀ Crossbill, undoubtedly one that I shot

(2015) A.T (Howrah) PP/PI [illegible] I can't believe it's so easy to get away with this kind of thing. It feels like I'm being watched, but maybe that's just my paranoia talking. Still, there are moments when things seem too convenient for comfort. It's strange how quickly situations escalate once they start moving in a certain direction. One moment everything seems fine, then suddenly everyone is on edge and nothing makes sense anymore. The tension builds up until you're almost ready to snap at anyone who crosses your path. I remember one particular evening when I was sitting alone in the living room after dinner. There was something about the way the light filtered through the curtains that made me feel exposed, as if someone could see right into my thoughts from across the street. Maybe it wasn't just me imagining things; perhaps everyone else felt the same way. The air grew heavy with unspoken words and hidden meanings. Every glance became loaded with significance, every silence filled with potential conflict. We were all waiting for something to happen, hoping against hope that nothing would ever change again.

At the edges of the meadow I have noticed a few Citellus sp., not beechny They are about the size of the Golden- mantles. Steller Jays are about, as are both Pygmy and White-breasted Nuthatches. I saw Green-tailed Towhees and heard them singing in the Manzanita. I have not seen any Fox Sparrows. Crowder Flat, I should mention, is a slightly rocky wet meadow with a small stream running through it, and there are clumps of aspens distributed irregularly along its borders. There are several similar meadows nearby. The rest of the country is forested mainly by yellow pines, with a few junipers and others trees I do not know scattered throughout. Arctostaphylos is fairly abundant, but does not seem to be at its best here. There is no incense cedar (Libocedrus). I have noticed a great deal of a prostrate Ceanothus growing on the forest floor

Howell, T.R. 1949 Crowder Flat, ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 24 (cont'd.) Much of it is in bloom now, with bright blue flowers when fresh, fading to pinkish blue and almost white. The meadows are full of buttercups (Ranunculus). Farther away from the streams are Juniper + sage flats, very rocky. About 3:00 P.M. - In the aspens near nests #1 and 6, I noted Pygmy Nuthatches, House Wrens, and Violet-Green Swallows all with nests, or a least going into nesting holes in the aspens. At the edge of the meadow, where there are large rock piles (sloping abruptly up to the pines and junipers) with grassy spots in between, I noticed a Blue- tailed Skink (Eumeces) scurry off a rock where it had been sunning. There are lots of very blackish Sceloporus around, and several garter snakes. 7:15 P.M. Noticed about 3 bats flying over the meadow. 7:45 I passed a porcupine in the middle of the meadow on his way across. I poked him with a stick, which he stopped with his tail several times the he went back to the woods at a rapid shuffle.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Crowder Flat, ___ ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 25 I had to spend most of the day at Alturas getting car repairs and spotted every shot. At Alturas, around noon, I noted Yellow Warblers singing, saw them, Bullock Orioles and a flock of about 20 Tricolored Redwings, about equally ?s and ?s. The latter were feeding on the courthouse lawn. on the way to Alturas at one of the big resevoirs I saw many Black Terns, some Mallards, and a Western Willet. There were Black-billed Magpies and Mt. Bluebirds in the Juniper-Sage flats. Saw one woodchuck also. Back at Crowder Flat at 6:00 P.M. I noted Brown Creepers in the pines, which I had not seen before. May 26 9:30 A.M. Drove out the Blue Mt. road to Quaking Asp spring. It is mostly juniper flats with some big clumps of yellow pine between. I ran over a gopher snake on the way and saved him as a specimen. (Pituophis) Noticed a few Scrub Jays, and collected one. They were in the low junipers. Noted a Sparrow Hawk pursuing a Red- tail. Nothing at Q. A. Spring but a lot of Doves.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 27. I had to come into Alturas for the day for car repairs. This is a day wasted as far as the birds are concerned. I have so much writing to do in the species accounts that my journal is somewhat fragmentary. There is not too much point in my listing each resident species seen daily, but I shall instead note species not previously seen and any interesting behavior of those already mentioned. A daily list would be somewhat deceptive, as in concentrating on the sapsuckers I have not time to look at every bird or follow up every song as I would if this were a collecting trip. I have not seen any bucks or fawns, but I have seen buck tracks. At least, I have not seen any deer with antlers. Road to Crowder Flat, [illegible] ft., 30 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif.

B.T Howell PPPI January Always make to call. I had to come into Atlanta on Monday, and I am not sure when we will meet again. It was so nice to see you last time, and I hope that next time it will be under better circumstances. I know so much about the weather as ever I have heard, but the fact remains that there is something wrong with me. I tried to get back on track this week, which does seem to help a little, but not enough yet. So if you are in Atlanta or any other place nearby, please let me know. I wanted to mention that you and your wife have been great hosts. I really enjoyed my stay there. If you need anything else, just give me a call. There will be something about the weather soon, so don't worry too much about it now. Just try to keep up every day with whatever you can do well. This was a great trip overall. I have not seen any ducks or turkeys yet, but I have seen some deer at least. I have not seen any geese either, but I will look for them next time I go out hunting. I hope to see you soon. My wife and children are well. Please give my love to your family. PS Will call you later tonight.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 29, (cont'd) 5:00 A.M. I heard Robins singing and Chickadees and Flycatchers calling. Later, Warbling Vireos and Chipping Sparrows sing, Flickers and Steller Jays calling. At 1:30 P.M. the rain stopped for a while and I went outside - saw a Robin bathing in the creek, on such a wet day. The Fly- catchers are active about the cabin. Rain all the rest of the day, far into the night. May 30 Day started off with intermittent sun and showers. By 1:30 P.M. the sun had gone, and a hailstorm began. Needless to say, my field activity has been curtailed. 2:15. Noted a flock of Red Crossbills (about 8) in the pine tops, calling and feeding. May 31. At 12:40 A.M. I heard heavy rain on the roof, which continued until about 3:00 A.M. At 3:40 the skies were getting light, and I heard a Robin singing. As it became lighter, I was astonished to see that a moderate snow was falling. This changed to slush about 7:00 A.M., and by 8:00 A.M. had changed to light rain, but there are still big patches of snow at 8:30 A.M. In

January Cromwell Hotel. I stayed at the [illegible] Hotel on Sunday, 12th October. I had booked my room and paid for it earlier that day. The hotel was very nice and clean with a lovely breakfast buffet. I also enjoyed the swimming pool which was quite warm. There were lots of people there but it wasn't too crowded. At 3:00 PM on Monday, I went to the shop next door to buy some fresh fruit and vegetables for lunch. It was a bit early so they didn't have much yet. I bought an apple and a banana as well as some bread rolls from the bakery inside the hotel. Everything tasted good. Later that afternoon, I decided to take a walk along the riverbank just outside the hotel gates. The weather had turned cloudy but it wasn't raining hard so I still enjoyed myself. I saw several ducks swimming in the water and even spotted one bird flying overhead before heading back towards my room around 5:00 PM. On Tuesday morning at about 7:30 AM, I woke up feeling refreshed after sleeping well overnight thanks partly due to having eaten a light dinner last night instead of something heavy like pasta or steak which might have made me feel sluggish during the day now. After getting dressed quickly since there wasn't much time left before leaving soon anyway (only about half an hour remaining until departure), I grabbed my bag containing all necessary items including passport, tickets, wallet etc., then headed out towards the airport terminal where flights depart regularly throughout each week regardless whether weekdays or weekends apply unless otherwise stated explicitly within airline schedules provided online via their respective websites respectively.

May 31 (cont'd.) addition to the Robins, the Flickers, Chickadees and Brewer Blackbirds are calling, the Flycatchers also, and chipping Sparrows singing. The saps, + white-heads are also active - see sp. account. 9:30 A.M. Still overcast, rainy. I met Mr. Archer of the Willow Creek Ranch on the road going out to cut wood. He remembers when W.P. Taylor and Ned Bryant ran their transect of the Warner Mts. back in 1910. He gave me a ride down toward Willow Creek. I walked along the creeks towards nests #2 and 7. Here I saw my first Fox Sparrow in a clump of very small aspens and pines - not a note from him. I also saw a Black-billed Magpie out over the meadow. 10:45 - At nest #7, 3 Great Blue Herons flew over, croaking and squawking a going from one high top of yellow pine to another, 2 more Magpies came by calling. There was a great deal of rain the rest of the afternoon, even a flurry of hail, and I felt so feverish and shivery that I could do nothing the rest of the day but huddle in the sacks.

June 1 - Today I have spent recuperating- most of the fever is gone but my eyes are still pretty hot and sore, especially when I try to read or write anything. The weather is clearing, with some sun, but still showing rain clouds although no rain. June 2. I spent most of the morning giving some help to Jesse Drake of the Forest Service, whose pick-up truck was mired down in the road to Weed Valley west of here. At 10:00 A.M. I heard and saw a flock of about 10 crossbills, and saw others later in the day. Weather mostly clear, occasional clouds. See sp. account. Locality-Juniper Spr., 2 mi.W. Crowder Flat. 4:00 P.M. - Back at Willow Creek. I scared a Green-tailed Towhee off its nest in a sage bush, a few inches off the ground. There were two young, looking almost newly hatched, which were orange brown on the bare skin with a few tufts of dark grey down. One egg remained - it was patterned like this -> [illegible] ground color white, speckles gray-brown. June 3 - Tree swallows noted for the first time; see sapsucker species account.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 4. I had to go into Alturas today for mail and some supplies, and I decided to spend some of the day looking around that area. I drove across a low pass in the Warner Mts. to Cedarville, over to the east. There were a number of aspen groves beside the road, and I stopped at two of them for a brief look. I saw very few sapsucker workings and no nests, but I could easily have missed them in such a short time. The altitude was around 6000 ft in this area; I noticed Pine Siskins for the first time. Next, in the afternoon I drove to Canby and beyond on the main Hwy. to Klamath Falls. There is a place a few miles to the west of Canby called Howard's Gulch (on Forest Service maps) which has some large aspens in it. Here, at 2:15 P.M., I located a nest with young in it, being fed by a daggetti. It was about 7 ft high, in a large (14 in diameter) aspen which had other holes. The young were naked, pink, and active and noisy in a feeble way. I could not tell how many there were as they moved around so much, but there seemed to be at least 3. The parent brought them what looked like big ants in its beak. On the road to Cowder Flat I noted a Willet, a Calif. Gull, and a Western Kingbird.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 5. Weather clear, warm, windy at times. A new bird from the area noted today is the Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor), which I heard in the morning and later saw in the afternoon - 3 birds over Crowder Flat, very high up. While looking for more sapsucker nests near #6, I looked into a hole 4 ft up in a dead aspen. A sort of hissing, thumping noise began immediately and gray dust came rising out of the hole. This proved to be the doing of a Mt. Chickadee which remained on the nest. It seemed to be raising and lowering itself with some wing motion as well. See today's saps. species account for notes on a House Wren chasing a chipmunk. June 6 - up at 3:05 A.M., faint signs of dawn in east - clear with a few small clouds. At 3:20 I heard Chipping Sparrows singing, and by 3:45 most of the passerines were singing or calling - Juncos, Robins, Vireos, Warblers, Sparrows, Blackbirds, Flycatchers. At 3:45 at the Willow Creek Meadow I heard a Poor-will for the first time; it was getting pretty light by then. No woodpeckers were heard until a little after 4:00 A.M. At 8:00 A.M.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 6 (cont'd.) to several of the springs on the only road to the east of here. It is not bad now that it is dry, but there are some very rough parts and several trees across it. The springs are Tournquist, Wall, Mouse, and Rail Springs; only at the latter one are there any aspens. These are a small clump, and showed many old workings but no nesting holes. At Wall Spring at 10:15 A.M. I saw a daggetti nuchalis in a dead pine snag; it had rather definite head stripes, but no breast band. At Rail Spring there is a small pond which harbors Red-wings, and Killdeer are around the edges. They are probably nesting, as one of the killdeer went into a possible distraction act, spreading its tail, fllting it to the left, and chattering. Also, there is another black Red-tailed Hawk here, screaming as though a nest were near. Arrived at Forked Horn Spring about 3:00 P.M. there is a grove of good sized aspens in this flat, (not very near the spring), but I did not have time to investigate it. There is no road out to here - just a cross- country drive. Back to Crowder Flat at 6:00 P.M. All localities mentioned are on Forest Service maps of Modoc Nat'l. Forest.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 7 - Up at 3:05 A.M. again. I heard the first birds - Robins - at 3:30. At nest #1 I heard Olive-sided Flycatchers (singular?) at about 4:30 A.M. - I had seen one before, but this is the first time I heard one. The Steller Jays do not seem to get noisy until 5:00 A.M. Crossbills, I find, are very common in the area, going in flocks of 5 - 10. I fre- quently see them in the low deciduous trees in the meadows. During the day I heard lots of Olive-sided Flycatchers, which is a bit strange as I had not heard any before. At 3:45 P.M., by nest #6, I came on a Mourning Dove sitting on its nest on a flat place on a fallen yellow pine log, about 3 1/2 feet above the ground. The bird would not flush until I came within a yard of it. In the nest were two squabs sitting very quietly, about 2 1/2 inches long, dark grey skin, and almost completely covered with cream-colored down. At 6:30 P.M. I found a small rubber boa (Charina bottae) in the path just above the meadow by the ranger station. It is about 8 inches long, pinkish brown or cinnamon in color on the dorsum and more yellow ventrally. I am saving it alive. The skin is very soft and silky.

(c) 1996 [illegible] I know that you're gonna be fine. I'm not sure if I can do it alone. But I'll try my best to make it work out for us both. It's just hard when things don't go as planned. Sometimes life gets in the way of what we want most. And sometimes, all we have left is each other. So let's give ourselves a chance to start over again. Maybe this time around, everything will fall into place perfectly. Even though there are still so many questions unanswered about where things stand right now between us two. But hey, maybe that means something special waiting just around the corner somewhere along our journey together someday soon enough hopefully.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 8 - weather clear at dawn, becoming somewhat cloudy by mid-morning; colder than the previous day. I noticed a cottontail rabbit behind the woodpile by the Ranger Station. Olive-sided Flycatchers are calling again. At 12:30, by the Ranger Station, I got a good look at a yellow-billed Cuckoo in an aspen. This is a new bird for the trip. See saps, sp. account for mention of Williamson Sapsucker, also new for the trip. At 5:30 P.M. I collected a small Empidonax (?) by the Ranger Station. I am still not sure of the species, but they are common along side the meadows here. Their call note is 2-syllabled. Since I have been at Crowder Flat I have noticed 3 garter snakes at exactly the same spot by a culvert almost every time I pass there. The largest is about 2ft long, the smallest about 18 inches. The other is intermediate between these two in size. Garter Snakes are extremely common in the wet meadows. June 9 - weather clear and warm. At 2:50 P.M, as I was leaving nest #7, I saw an adult Goshawk fly by silently. This is the first one of this species I have seen in this area.

Howell, T.R 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 10. Up at 5:00 A.M., - weather clear, warm. At about 9:20 A.M., near nest #7, I flushed a Green-tailed Towhee from its nest just about on the ground in a sage bush. It contained 3 well-fledged young that I could see; per- haps a fourth was underneath. Late in the morning I collected a couple of Steller Jays, which are very numerous and noisy around here. One was an immature ?; perhaps the jays have finished nesting already. June 11. Noted a juvenile Junco flying about apparently just out of the nest. The parents were nearby, and very nervous. In the afternoon I went to the Willow Creek Ranch 3 1/2 mi. from here. There is a big wet meadow there and I saw Wilson Phalaropes for the first time. It is an interesting place, and I think I will go back there for some collecting later. June 12 Near nest #3 - in fact within 15 yds of it I noticed a Western Wood Pewee nest about 20 ft up in a dead aspen. Nest #3 seems to be a rich spot, in the same tree as #3 are Tree Swallow and House Wren nests, and a few yards away are the Pewee nest and one of the Chestnut-backed Bluebird. Probably there are others. In the early afternoon I went over to the

Here I collected a pair of Wilson Phalaropes; several others were seen. They must nest in the big wet meadow here as the ♂ had a well developed brood patch. The ♀ was slightly fat. Birds seen at the Ranch were as follows: Black Tern, Western Kingbird, Black-billed Magpie, Barn Swallow (1st noted in area), Violet-green swallow, Killdeer, Red-wing, Western Meadowlark (1st record for area). Both swallows were common, as were the Terns out over the meadow. After skinning the birds I went to Twin Spring for water and cut a fire open on the way, which curtailed my activity for the little remaining of the afternoon. I will have to go in to Alturas and buy another spare, I suppose, tomorrow or tuesday. The car could use some gas and a grease job, anyway. June 13—6:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. I walked around near the ranger station looking for something to collect. I noted Chipping Sparrows and Robins feeding young fully fledged and out of the nest. The food consisted of small green hairless cater- pillars. In an aspen, about 5 ft above the ground I located an Empidonax nest with four white unspotted eggs. The bird on the nest flushed silently at my approach, and both parents returned in a few minutes as I stood quietly a few yards away. One sat on the eggs, and the other took

I saw a daggetti feeding low in a mountain mahogony, and it flew off without a sound; where, I could not see. In a large dead yellow pine, about 10 ft. up, I saw a Pygmy Nuthatch go into its nest hole with food. This nest is really in a crack rather than in an excavated hole. I am about ready to give up on my, 32 auxes; they just won't kill anything, even at ranges within 10 yds, when I was afraid I would blow the bird to pieces. I have shot at Nuthatches and Warbling Vireos with no apparent effect. There are many young ground squirrels about, and I noticed several rabbits, presumably S, nuttalli, in the area. At 11:03 by nest #1 an adult Goshawk flew by, pursued by what I think was a Brewer Blackbird. 2mi. N. of Alturas, 4370 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. June 14- I drove to this marshy spot in mid- morning. There were lots of Yellow-headed, Brewer, and Red-winged Blackbirds, Black Terns, Willets, one perching on a telephone pole.

Circling over the marsh were Barn and Violet-green Swallows, and Killdeer. I forgot to mention that, on the Crowder Flat road, about 10 mi. NNW of Alturas, I saw 2 pairs of California Quail. 2 mi. W. of Alturas, 4370 ft., Modoc Co., Calif. June 15 - Under the bridge at Rattlesnake Creek is a good colony of Cliff Swallows. I could not collect as there were houses near and many cars on the road. 17 mi NNW of Alturas, [illegible] ft., Modoc Co., Calif. At this point on the road I saw a pair of Scrub Jays and collected one. It is in worn plumage. The road to Crowder Flat is almost all Juniper and Sage country. 30 mi. NNW of Alturas, [illegible] ft., Modoc Co., Calif. Here I came upon a good-sized flock of Piñon Jays - at least 30- working through the Junipers, calling constantly. There were many young birds in the flock; I collected three. A little farther on I noticed Vesper Sparrows for the first time. 33 mi. NNW of Alturas, [illegible] ft., Modoc Co., Calif. There is a big marsh here, and I hoped to collect a Willet but none were at all close although I did see some. Also present were Brewer, Yellow-headed and Red-winged Blackbirds, Wilson Phalaropes, Mallards, Black Terns, Killdeer. Circling in the distance at great height was a flock of white Pelicans - about 25.

Near nest #7, above the meadow on a lava rock - juniper + pine plateau, I flushed a Nighthawk from its "nest," which contained one egg. I will go back and collect the bird tomorrow. I also noted a Western Tanager scratching its auricular region in a very agile manner - it raised its right foot up medial to its right wing and scratched. June 16 - Up at 5:10 A.M. - Weather still clear, warm. Malcolm Nobs and Col McMillan from the Botany Dept. are up here collecting marsh flora, and I went out with them to 33 mi. NNW of Alturas, ft., Modoc Co., Calif. which is a big marsh out in the Juniper- Sage flats. Here I collected two Willets, and saw numerous Black Terns, a few Cinnamon Teal, lots of Mallards, Brewer and Yellow- headed Blackbirds, Killdeer, Wilson Phalaropes. In the sage I scared out a doe and then came upon a tiny fawn no bigger than a jack-rabbit which staggered away at my approach. I doubt if it was more than a day old. Also in the sage I noted Horned Larks in song, and Sage Thrashers and Vesper Sparrows. Two Turkey Vultures which flew over the marsh were hotly pursued by the Terns. Violet-green Swallows flew over, and Red-wings were present in the marsh. There were lots of coyote droppings along the shore.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 16 (cont'd.) I feel sure the Willets are nesting in the area, although the gonads of the pair I collected were not enlarged. They become very agitated at the presence of an intruder, which is usual, but they seem to be paired off. They occur in almost all the marshes of any size in the vicinity. I find that this marsh is called Dry Valley Reservoir on the Forest Service map. It is just about 5 mi. S. of Crowder Flat, on the [illegible] west side of the road. June 17 In the morning, on the rocky flat above sapsucker nest #7, I flushed a ? Nighthawk which fluttered away with its tail drooping and lit on a low branch with its wings dangling limply. This seemed to be an obvious diversionary action, for when I shot at it with the .410 it flew away strongly and lit up in a pine nearby, where I got her with the 16ga. I then went to the Nighthawk nest mentioned on June 15 and shot at the ? on the eggs, and she flew away strongly. I have doubts about the efficacy of the .410. In the afternoon I returned and shot her at closer range, breaking a wing. She was very agressive as I came up, trying to fly at my hand with her mouth gaping and hissing loudly. I decided to leave the eggs and try to get the ? if he should come to incubate. June 18 - Rain. I got out briefly to nest

In the after- noon I went to the Janes Reservoir about 2 mi. S. of here for a short time; here was a family of Pygmy Nuthatches, the young well- grown, and a very aggressive White-headed Woodpecker that followed me all about with a great deal of noise. June 19 - It has been raining all night and most of the morning. By noon the clouds broke somewhat and there was intermittent sun until about 3:30 when the rain clouds closed in again. Out at the meadow through which Willow Creek runs, called "Upper place" on maps of the area, I saw a flock of about 10 White Pelicans circling very low as if they had come up from the meadow or were settling into it. There is lots of water in this meadow, but only a little is open. I went by the Nighthawk nest at which I collected a female and the eggs were still there, cold. Apparently the male has no share in incubation. June 20 - 3:30 A.M. Robins singing, a few Poor-will calls until 3:50 - skies fairly light. Then the Juncos and Doves start, and next the Chickadees. At about 4:00 A.M., jays were calling and then Empidonax Flycatchers, which call "chwhip-creek!" Thin clouds remained all morning and in the afternoon they became heavy. After 3:00 P.M. there were occasional light showers. In the past few days I have noticed several young bucks with knobbed "spikes" about 6 in.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 20, (cont'd.) long. They are as unwary as the does. This afternoon there has been a porcupine in a small juniper outside the ranger station, feeding at a very slow pace. The Carpodacus finches mentioned in the Journal are all Cassin Finches, I believe. The ♀s and young ♂s have finer and more sharply edged streaks than Purples, and I finally collected a singing ♂ cassini to make sure. I saw a young, streaked-plumaged ♂ in the top of the half-dead pine in which nest #10 is located singing and fluttering his wings as though begging. I presume it was an imm. ♂ and not a ♀ as it was singing. There are many broods of young Robins out all through the woods June 21- At nest #3 at about 3:45 A.M. Robins were singing at 3:30, but I could not determine any sequence after that. Conspicuous, though, from 3:45 on were the songs of House Wrens, sometimes given on the wing, calls of Pewees, and the mewing of the Green-tailed Towhees. The sky was mostly overcast before dawn, clearing considerably by around 7:00 A.M. At about 6:00 I heard and saw several Brown Creepers singing, and collected one. No Poor-Wills heard, Near nest #6 I scared up a young spotted fawn which bounded off; this is the 2nd spotted one I have seen. The weather cleared rapidly and from 9:00 A.M. on there were no clouds in the sky. There was some wind in the afternoon and evening.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 22 - Up at 3:00 A.M. again. When I got to nest #1 at 3:45, there was such a welter of songs and calls that I could not tell which came first. The weather: dawned perfectly clear, quite cold before sun-up. By 8:00 some cumulus clouds started to come from the west, increasing by mid-morning. At about 8:30 at #1 a family of White-breasted Nuthatches came around; the immatures were less bright on the backs, their black caps were dull, not glossy, and they had a slightly fuzzy look about them. On the way to the nest, while still dark, I have passed what I think are Dipodomyss in the road. I see them only an instant in the headlight glare, but they seem to hop instead of just running; I can't tell about the tail. Of the other rodents, half-grown young of both kinds of ground squirrels and chipmunks are abundant. Afternoon mostly clear, occasional cumulus. 4 White Pelicans circled over Upper Place in the early afternoon. June 23 - Weather all clear, windy in afternoon. Nothing too unusual in the way of birds except the sapsuckers. The Empidonax nest mentioned in a previous note still has 4 eggs in it, unhatched. This seems slow. In the afternoon, between nests #3 and #7, I scared up one little fawn and then another a few yards farther on. Both bounded away about 10 yds and then stood still, looking at me until I moved again, when they bounded off as best they could on the rocky ground. I saw several Sylvilagus rabbits today also. June 24 - To Alturas for supplies. See sp account for birds.

Howell, T.A. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. June 25 - Weather clear, warm all day. At the Bluebird nest by Saps. nest #3, I noticed a commotion and saw a Chickaree pulling nest material out of the Bluebird nest hole. It looked as though the nest were half out. The squirrel made several visits, and all the while the birds were very agitated, cheeping and popping their bills rapidly. The squirrel was silent, and seemed undisturbed by them. I could not tell what happened to the young Bluebirds, assuming that they had been in the nest. 7:30 P.M. - at nest #3. While I sat quietly in plain sight, a doe came up to within 6 ft behind me. I heard steps and turned; both of us were a bit startled, and the doe bounded off about 15 yds and stopped, looking back curiously. Then she went down to the meadow and finally across it into the pines. In this time she made what I can only call a "snuffing" sound, not a hiss, not a snort, but more like the former. It is clearly audible for 75 yds. In the northwest there is a lot of heat lightning and thunder, -- clear elsewhere. June 26 - 3:30 A.M. Robins and Pewees calling, joined by Empidonax flycatchers a few minutes later. The Chipping Sparrows began singing about 3:45, and the Warbling Vireos not until after 4:00. In the late afternoon, in the meadow by the ranger station there were 2 young bucks - one with a pr. of two-point antlers, growing, the other with just elonga- ted knobs. I have noted, by the way, that deer go under barbed-wire fences when they come to them.

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 27 - Weather clear, quite warm all day. Nothing special in the way of birds other than sapsuckers. The House Wrens just below #6 are feeding their young at a furious rate - at least every 2 minutes, probably more often - but wrens are still singing. Red-tailed Hawks continue to scream at anyone in the area; I have not seen young hawks out yet. June 28 - 3:30 A.M. Robins and Pewees noisy, then Empidonax flycatchers, and Chipping Sparrows by 3:40. Weather clear before sun up, clouds (stratus, I think) appearing shortly after. At about 4:30 I saw a Cormorant (P.auritus) fly over in an easterly direction and about 20 min. later two more, also to E. The latter were definitely adults. At 5:30 it is still extremely cold, at least it feels so to me. June 29 - Clear until late afternoon; numbing cold until sun well up. Concentrating on sapsuckers. At 11:30 I saw my first Hummer in this area. It was feeding at an Indian Paint-brush (or a close relative of it) with its back to me, and it flew away before I could identify it. The back was all green, and the size of the bird was smaller than an Anna's. It could have been and probably was a Calliope, but it looked a little large for one. On the rocky flat, or rather slope, between nests #6 and #11 I noticed several Blue-tailed Skinks (Eumeces), on and going under the rocks. Scelops are common all over. June 30 - Weather clear, warm, usual winds. Young Tree Swallows and Flickers were conspicuously out today. July 1 - Weather clear, quite cold in early morning

Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co. Calif. July 1 (cont'd), hot in afternoon. I did not see anything unusual as regards the birds other than sapsuckers, which kept me busy. The House Wren at #6 continues to attack the saps. (see sp. account) and d?n seems much more afraid than d. This may easily be a sex difference in behavior. At Twin Spring I found a Western Tanager nest about 15 ft up in the crotch of a small branch of a big yellow pine. Both ? and ? were close by, July 2 - Weather clear warm. Too busy with sapsuckers. July 3 - same; I did notice a Solitary Vireo feeding its young, another Hummer was seen briefly, by #6, and also there was a Fox Sparrow near #6, only the 2nd one I have seen.

Howell, T.R. 19450 Journal Thousand Palm Canyon, Riverside Co., Calif. Jan. 25 - Awoke at dawn here - very cold, about 0°C, clear, windy. Only one bird seen, a Say Phoebe. We drove on past the Salton Sea towards Calipatria, passing through Indio along the way. At the Salton Sea we noted many Ring-billed Gulls, Ruddy Ducks, and Eared Grebes. Something seems to be killing the grebes, as we found 12 in varying stages of decay along a couple of hundred yards of shore, and no other dead birds except one gull. A flock of Sage Sparrows was seen at this spot. Near Indio we saw Verdins, Phainopeplas, Cactus Wrens, Mockingbirds, Western Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Shrikes, Meadowlarks. At Mullet Island, at the south end of the Salton Sea were about 1500 Pintails, hundreds of Ruddy Ducks, a few Canvasbacks, Coots, Eared Grebes (more dead on the shore) Snowy and American Egrets, Greater Yellow-legs, Willetts, Killdeer, Least (?Western) Sandpipers, Avocets, a Marsh Hawk, many Ring-billed Gulls, Great Blue Heron, Say and Black Phoebes, White-crowned Sparrows, Dowitchers. We drove on towards Calipatria, Imperial Co., and in the wet fields of alfalfa we noted a great many Ring-billed Gulls, Long-billed Curlews and Killdeer, and in one field

We reached a camp site about 3mi S. of Calipatria in the late afternoon, noting Cactus Wrens, Phainopeplas, and Abert Towhees in the vicinity. This locality is on a State Game Refuge, and a large Tule marsh is close by. At dusk large flocks of ducks, mostly Baldpates, and white-faced Glossy Ibis came to settle in the marsh. Bl-crowned Nt Herons Jan 26 - Clear, sub-freezing temperature. too. Cactus Wrens singing, Verdins, Phainopeplas Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Abert Towhees active, Red-shafted Flicker calling. At mid-morning we worked through a good deal of mesquite and brush and down along the cottonwoods, wilows and tules along the nearby stream without finding anything new. Returning to the campsite and crossing the river, we noted ("we," in all cases so far, means Wm. Dawson, Stuart Landry, and myself) Say and Black Phoebes, Red-wings, Mockingbirds Sage Sparrows, white-crowned sparrows, Sparrow Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk (very dark) and Turkey Vulture in addition to the species already mentioned. In the afternoon a survey of the nearby flooded fields showed lots of Ring-billed Gulls, Long-billed Curlews, one Hudsonian Curlew, some Greater Yellow-legs, Least Sandpipers, Killdeer,

A survey of the ponds near the road revealed Baldpates, Shovellers, Coots, and one Black Gallinule seen crossing the road. Also, Road-runners were seen in the brush and fields. I did not see any Gila Wood- peckers, but Dawson did. Orange-crowned Warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets seen. At dusk a flock of about 26 Yellow- headed Blackbirds, M's and F's, was seen passing over toward the west. The ducks, ibis, and herons mentioned on previous pages were also seen, and quite a few Black-crowned Night Herons were seen and heard. Jan 27 - clear, very cold, sub-freezing, at dawn, Cactus Wren, Phainopepla, Verdin, Say Phoebe, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher conspicuous around camp. All the birds noted yesterday were seen again today, and in addition we saw one Crissal Thrasher, one Sage Thrasher, and a few Yellow-throats. By the flooded fields we saw one Burrowing Owl, and in the fields at least 9 Mountain Plover and one Lesser Yellow-legs in addition to the gulls, ibis, herons and shore birds of yesterday, but no Hudsonian Curlew. At dusk, a flock of Yellow-headed Blackbirds was seen heading east. We heard a Horned Owl, and another, unidentified owl (long-eared?) at night.

Howell, T.R. 1950 Journal 3 mi. S. Calipatria, -180 ft., Imperial Co., Calif. Jan 28- Mr. Bill Anderson of the State Game Refuge here took us on a tour of the refuge and then out to the edge of the Salton Sea near its southern tip. On the refuge we saw Baldpate, Pintail, Shovellers, Green-winged Teal, Coots, 2 Sora Rails, Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers. One song sparrow was seen, not saltonis, but with a large bill, large enough for Passerculus s. rostratus, which it was not. Possibly fisherella? The hawks, road-runners, and passerines of previous days were seen except for the 2 thrashers, and the Yellow-headed blackbirds. At the sea we saw a number of Herring and Ring-billed Gulls (also Herrings in the wet fields, where Anderson says he often sees them), Baldpates, Shovellers, Green-winged Teal, (or 2 Cinnamon Teal, Ruddy Ducks, Coots, Dowitchers, Greater Yellow-legs, about 5 Black- necked Stilts, Least Sandpipers, Killdeer. On the salt flats we noted 2 Horned Larks, and in the succulent Allenrothia a few Large- billed sparrows, one collected. In the fields and brush about a mile or two back from the sea, we saw Gambel Quail, one Pigeon Hawk, Brewer Blackbirds and Cowbirds, savanna, Vesper, Lark, and White-crowned Sparrows, Tule Wrens, a Sage Sparrow. Back at the camp- site, Dawson had a Lincoln Sparrow in one of his live traps.

Howell, T.R. 1950 Journal Santa Catalina I., Los Angeles Co., Calif. April 1. We left from San Pedro on the Calif. Fish and Game boat Bluefin, and immediately encountered heavy fog which reduced visibility to almost nothing. On the way to the island, we saw only a few Western Gulls. At the isthmus of Catalina, the fog was still heavy, and only the [illegible] Western Gulls and a few Brandt Cormorants appeared. On going ashore, we saw quite a few California Quail in a dry gully in and around which oaks and chaparral were growing. The island was very green, apparently due to recent rains. A few Vermivora celata were heard singing, and one was seen at close range. Two Ground squirrels were noted: compared to the mainland forms, these seemed larger and darker brown. One squirrel was in the top of a small oak. Ravens were about on the cliffs, and two Horned Larks were seen on an open expanse of dry ground. By mid-after-noon the fog had lifted, and on the way back we saw two adult Bald Eagles high up on the island. Not a single Alcids or Procellariform bird was seen, although eagerly looked for: no pinnipeds either.

Howell, T.R. 1950 Journal 3 mi. S. of Calipatria - 180 ft., Imperial Co., Calif. April 6. - I visited the Game Refuge here briefly between 12:30 and 1:15 P.M. The weather was clear and hot. In the pond near the headquarters I saw a few coots and two Black-necked Stilts. Red-wings were very conspicuous, especially singing, displaying males. Two Western Kingbirds were nearby and noisy. In a clump of willows along a ditch I saw Pileolated Warblers (2-3), Audubon Warblers (many - spring plumage), Orange-crowned Warbler (1), Bullock Oriole (1♂), Gila Woodpecker (at least 1♀), White-crowned Sparrow (numerous), Mourning Dove (several pairs), Western Flycatchers (presumably - several), and a number of Abert Towhees.

Howell, T.R. 1948 Sphyrapicus various daggetti 8mi N. and 13mi. W. of Canby, 4700ft, Modoc Co., Calif. May 20 - I first saw a sapsucker at about 8:00 A.M., when one flew overhead and alighted on a dead yellow pine stub about 30ft high. There were two woodpecker holes in the stub near the top, and this bird hitched up and looked into one, then moved out on a dead branch, perched cross-wise for a moment, and flew off. About an hour later I returned to the same spot and located another or the same bird on a larger yellow pine stub. I alarmed the bird and it flew to a small (about 30ft high) live pine which showed much evidence of woodpecker and sapsucker drillings and began to peck at the tree. No sound was uttered by the bird until I shot it, when it screeched weakly. There are no aspens within 2 or 3 miles of this locality, and at this date none show any signs of budding out. Perhaps what sapsuckers there are here are working around the dead pine stubs and other pine trees until the deciduous ones start to leaf out and the weather warms up enough for insects other than wood-boring grubs. The weather is still quite cold here, with an inch or so of snow on the ground in many places. May 21 - In the same locality that I collected the sapsucker yesterday

# Howell, T.R. 1948 Sphyrapicus varius daggetti 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 21 (cont'd.) - I encountered another one. It showed a preference for the same stub and tree that the other one did, and I suspect that this one is the mate of the collected bird, probably the ♀ (I have not yet sexed the first bird). This sapsucker was noisy and seemed annoyed at my presence; it flew from one dead stub to another, hitching up to the very top and occasionally perching cross-wise on a projecting limb, all the time uttering a nasal, whining call note. When it reached the top of one tree it would fly to another [illegible] and start up again. I shot at the bird and either missed it or didn't hurt it much as it flew away strongly giving its nasal cry. I had several good looks at the bird and it seemed to be a typical daggetti with a completely red head. In this same area I have noted at least two Williamson Sapsuckers, several Red-shafted Flickers and one white-headed Woodpecker. Later in the day I visited the same spot and saw what I presume was the same Red-breasted Sapsucker, in good health. Its actions were just as described above, but it seemed more wary.

Howell, T.R. 1948 Sphyrapicus varius daggetti 8mi. N. and 13mi. W. of Canby, 4700 ft. Modoc Co., Calif. May 22- The day dawned completely clear and not very cold - at least above 32° F. I spent from 8:00 to 11:00 (both A.M.) in the same place described previously in this species account. I located one sapsucker by its scream (it is too loud to be just a "note"), and saw it hitch up to the top of a dead tree and then fly off. Shortly afterward I heard and saw one drumming on a small branch in the top of another dead tree. [The drumming goes essentially like this: B-r-r-r-r-rap-rap, rap- r-ap-rap. There is some variation, of course, but unless otherwise noted, "drumming" will refer to this or a very similar sound.] This drumming was repeated once or twice and then was answered by another bird in a dead tree about 20 yds away. The drumming and replying went on several times, and then a third sapsucker screamed from about 50-75 yds away. One of the birds I was watching flew off, and was followed by the other. Then drumming recommenced about 100 yds away. When I caught sight of them again, all three birds were together and went off chasing each other about through the trees, screaming intermittently. Once I got a glimpse of the three in a dead tree; one was perched lengthwise on a limb, and was bobbing

"[illegible]" and "[illegible]" are the names of the two people who were in the car when they were hit by the truck. The driver of the truck was not injured, but the passenger died from his injuries. The accident occurred on a highway near [illegible], where the truck lost control due to icy conditions and swerved off the road. It is unclear what caused the truck to lose control, but investigators believe it may have been related to the driver's fatigue or distraction. The passenger was identified as John Doe, a 30-year-old man from [illegible]. He was traveling with his girlfriend, Jane Doe, a 25-year-old woman from [illegible]. Both were residents of [illegible] and had been together for several years. John Doe's family expressed their grief over the loss of their loved one. "It is devastating to lose someone so young," said John's mother, Mary Doe. "We will miss him dearly." Jane's family also mourned the loss of her partner. "He was such a kind and loving person," said Jane's father, Robert Doe. "We are all heartbroken." The truck driver, Michael Smith, a 45-year-old man from [illegible], has been charged with reckless driving and is facing potential prison time. Smith stated that he did not see the car in front of him until it was too late to avoid the collision. "I am deeply sorry for what happened," said Smith. "I will do everything I can to make this right." The investigation into the accident is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the crash. In the meantime, families and friends of the victims are calling for justice and accountability. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving on icy roads and the importance of remaining alert and focused while behind the wheel. As we mourn the loss of these two lives, let us also take steps to ensure that such accidents do not happen again.

The other two approached this one (or each other) from either end and then all three flew off again. All the rest of the morning I heard screaming and drumming. I watched one bird pursue another around through the trees seemingly with mating rather than mayhem on its mind, since they flew about in the same area without any apparent attempt on the part of the pursuer to drive the other away from the region. The small tree in which I collected the first sapsucker seems to be a favored one for feeding; it is a pine about 10 inches in diameter near the base and about 20 ft high. There was a series of fresh workings on the trunk about 10 ft. up, and I came up close (30ft.) and watched. A moment later a sap- sucker alighted in this spot and began picking at the freshly opened holes in the bark. This bird was not typical daggetti as it had a dark auricular patch showing through the red and a definite white superciliary for post-ocular stripe. Then it began pecking another hole just above the top one in a series.

Howell, T.R. 1948 sphyrapicus varius daggetti 8mi. N. and 13 mi. W. of Canby, 4700ft., Modoc Co., Calif. May 22 (cont'd.) - Then another Sapsucker screamed several times and this bird (call it bird A) flew off. 15 minutes later I heard a few screams (they vary from 1 to 6 in succession) (and another similarly colored) and a moment later bird A returned to the feeding spot. It was immediately followed into the tree by two others. Then two of the three now in the tree flew, including the presumed bird A. The one remaining was a typical daggetti, and it picked about the holes, including the one bird A had freshly dug, for about a minute and then flew away. 5 minutes later the presumed bird A returned and began to peck a new hole above the last one; then it screamed 6 times and departed. 10 minutes later I heard several screams, and a typical daggetti flew in and picked at the holes. I could see it swallow but could not tell what was being swallowed. This bird then began pecking another hole to the left of those of bird A. The holes are apparently through the bark and are filled with fluid. Unfortunately I cannot sex these birds without collecting them. I am not sure whether the drumming procedure is a declaration of territory or part of a

(20) I came home from school to find my dad in the kitchen. I heard something outside and ran over to see what it was. It was a bird! A small, brown bird with a big beak. I tried to catch it but it flew away before I could grab it. Then I went inside and told my mom about the bird. She said she had seen one like that at her house too. We both agreed that it must have been a wild bird. Later that day, I found another small brown bird outside our window. This time I managed to catch it quickly! I held it gently in my hands while watching how its wings flapped. After a few minutes of holding the bird, I released it back into freedom. My parents were happy for me catching such an adorable creature. They even gave me some snacks as a reward!

Of the three I have under observation, one is daggetti > nuchalis, one is typical daggetti, and the other I am reasonably sure is typical daggetti, but I have not seen all three together at close enough range to be sure. Perhaps the bird I collected on the 20th was one of two pairs. At 2:00 P.M. I returned to the same spot. About half-way there I heard a sapsucker drumming on a tough, dried-up dead stub which gave the drumming some resonance. I shot at it but it flew off, injured or not. When I reached the favored site there was bird A, the one with nuchalis leanings, on the same large yellow pine stub on which the collected sapsucker was first observed. It hatched up to a hole (one of at least 5) about 60 ft. off the ground, poked its head and then most of its body in and began pecking. This went on for a minute or so; then the bird withdrew and began to ruffle and preen its feathers, occasionally scratching its ear region with one foot. A moment later it flew away. About 7 minutes later, a bird which

I shall call bird B, a typical laggetti, alighted near the same hole that a bird A had investigated. Bird B went through a similar preening process, tapped the tree trunk a few times, looked in the hole, hitched higher up the trunk, and flew away. About 10 minutes later bird A arrived again, alighting near the hole. It hitched about the trunk in the region of the hole and then screamed 8 times. No reply. It screamed again 6 times, and was answered by screams from 100 yds or so away. Bird A then flew to the small yellow pine in which this morning's feeding ob- servations were made and began to feed. 10 minutes later Bird B arrived in the dead yellow pine, near the hole. It drummed once, tapped around a little, and departed. 5 minutes later Bird A alighted at the hole and did some more of what I presume to be excavating. A few minutes later bird B arrived on the trunk close to A; A noticed him [illegible] and flew down to the small yellow pine with a stuttering cry, apparently unalarmed, and began to feed.

Bird B came in about 5 minutes after A left, stayed 15 minutes and did quite a bit of excavating and occasional preening. Then B left and so did I. My guess is that these two are a mated pair excavating a nesting hole in the dead yellow pine tree. Their head patterns are different enough so that I can tell them apart easily, and there is no question but that they alternated at the presumed nesting site as described above. May 23 - same place. I was at the grove at about 6:50 A.M. Weather clear, cool; the sun shone brightly on the entire side of the dead tree in which the suspected nesting hole is located. At 7:05 a Flicker alighted on the tree about half way up the trunk, topped a few times and flew away. This made me reasonably sure that nothing was in the hole or the tapping and scratching would have scared it out. At 7:20 I heard drumming, and again two minutes later. At 7:26 Bird B arrived at the dead tree, perched cross-wise on a short branch, hopped to the trunk, tapped a couple of times, investigated the hole,

At 7:35 some other bird (probably a Hairy or a Flicker) beat out a short, regular tattoo from a short distance away. Bird B had hitched higher up on the trunk where the resonance is better, and drummed once, possibly in response to the tattoo. Then B began more preening, and scratched its head with its right foot. 7:37: B drummed again; again a tattoo in the distance; B gave a short drum, and began to hitch up to the very top of the dead tree. 7:41 - B flew off. At 8:05 B alighted on the trunk, tapped, went to the hole, investigated it, screamed 5 times, tapped the trunk some more, and left at 8:07.5. A moment later I heard it give 5 screams from another dead tree. At 8:10 a bird drummed nearby. At 8:27 Bird A alighted near the hole, went about half way in for a few moments and withdrew. "A" screamed 5 times, began to preen and scratch, screamed 7 times, preened some more, and then hitched up to another hole about 18 inches above the suspected nesting hole. Bird A poked itself about halfway in, withdrew, cocked its head on one side and then the other (listening?) and stuck its head back in. It withdrew, screamed 6 times, tapped the trunk,

At 2:55, Bird B came to the hole, looked in, and left. Not until 4:20 did another sapsucker appear — this time Bird A, which was collected at the hole. I waited until 5:00, but Bird B did not appear. From 6:45 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. I watched the tree but Bird B did not appear. I heard several series of screams nearby but did not see any sapsuckers. May 24 Returned to area at 6:50 A.M. Heard quite a bit of drumming but could not be absolutely sure whether it was one bird or two, but I think two. At 7:15 the presumed Bird B alighted on the dead tree above the hole and began to drum in the same spot I had seen B drum before. The bird flew a moment later. I heard sporadic drumming nearby; at 7:35 there was a series of screams and B alighted at the drumming spot and drummed. I shot the bird, which proved to be a ♂. I can't be absolutely sure, but I think TRH No.'s 351 and 352 were a mated pair.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti Twin Spring, 38 mi NNW of Alturas ft, 3/4 mi. of Crowder Flat, May 21 Modoc Co., California I located my first sapsucker in an aspen about 1/4 mi W. of Twin Spring. It was a daggetti with nuchalis tendencies- black on auriculars + back of crown, It did not seem shy and soon popped into a hole in a dead aspen. The hole, one of many, is about 5 ft. off the ground. This was at about 8:15 A.M. 10:00 A.M. Found a pair in a clump of about 6 aspens along Willow Creek 1/2 mi E of Twin Spring. One bird is typical daggetti, the other just about intermediate. Both flew from the aspens to small pines a few feet away, but as I stood quietly they both returned and immediately began to scream. Then the daggetti mounted the other, and although my vision was slightly obscured by branches, I believe a copulation took place. I noticed considerable fluttering of wings. A few moments later the daggetti (d) again attempted to mount, approaching the ♀ along a branch with outstretched neck and fluttering wings, but she flew off. He then descended to a hole in an aspen (about 1 ft in diameter) only 2 1/2 ft. off the ground He paused a few inches to the left

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti 2 38 mi NNW of Alturas Twin Springs, ____ ft., 3/4 mi of Crowder Flat, Modoc Co., Calif. May 21 (cont'd) of the hole and then shifted over to it. For 10 minutes he stayed in this position, looking around at me and occasionally bobbing his head into the hole but not going all the way in. Then the female alighted higher up on the tree and he popped in. After that, I went to look for other nests (see Journal), The obser- vation was concluded at 10:30 A.M. In the afternoon I went to the Crowder Flat Ranger Station where there are some nice aspens. I saw lots of workings but only one s'sucker, a daggetti I returned to Twin Spring at 4:00 P.M. and at 5:00 P.M. went out to nest No. 1 (1st described on previous page) and looked in with mirror and flashlight. I saw no eggs but was not sure that I could see the bottom of the nest. About half-way back to Twin Spring I saw a perfect typical daggetti working (feeding, I believe) in an aspen. It seemed a little nervous, and screamed once before resuming its workings. Then it flew over to a large yellow pine, screamed twice, and then six times. After this it flew off out of sight.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti 3 Twin Springs, ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 22. Walked down to saps nest #2 at the Willow Creek meadow, arriving at about 5:15 A.M. It was light, but the sun was not out. At 5:30, heard a Saps. "Tattoo" (= b-r-r-r-r-r-rap-rap, or approximately that), apparently from a big yellow pine about 100 yds from the nest. 5:35: Another tattoo, 50 yds. away. 5:40. One of the pair was in the nesting hole; I tapped on the tree and got a response of a few squawks. The bird looked out but did not fly away. 5:50- The first sun. 6:00- another tattoo near nest #2. I went off looking for others. At 7:20 I located another pair in the aspens about 1/2 mi. from #1, but along the same creek. Both birds are typical daggetti, and their nesting hole is about 7 ft. up. I heard two tattoos, and both birds flew. 5 screams followed. One bird- the presumed F, returned to a small vertical limb by the hole. Tattoo in distance, ? answers with squawks. 3 more tattoos from "?" (?)? unorganized tapping by ? She scratches her ear region with the left foot, then the opposite with her right. Preens.

Howell, T.R. 1949 s.v. daggetti Twin Spring - ft., 38m NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 22, (cont'd). Flies to hole. Screams 70 times at about 1 sec. intervals - there is an answering scream, and she screams twice more. The ♂ returns, both squawk. ♂ leaves again. All the while a pair of house wrens has been busy singing and scolding about ?ft higher up in the same tree-they ignore each other. A chestnut-backed Bluebird chases both, however, ♀ to hole-looks in-away-then into hole. 7:35-3 tattoos; ♀ looks out of hole, comes out, squawks. Another tattoo-♀ flies off toward it, to the pines 50 yds away. More tattoos. Returns to hole, goes in. Head out-all out. From away, 7 screams. Other returns-much squawking. ♂ away. 4 screams, 8 screams; ♀ squawks, flies away. 7:50-♀ returns; squawks, distant tattoo, answering squawks. To hole-tattoo from away-in hole. Another tattoo. 7:52 More tattoos. 7:56 ♂ returns silently, leaves.

Howell, T.R 1949 S.V. daggetti 5 Twin Spring ft., 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 22 (cont'd) Juncos fly close by. To hole, in slowly (8:03). (Tattoos of varying loudness were among those heard previously - possibly by two ♂'s, or at least two birds) 8:04 - 6 tattoos, approx. 20 sec. interval. ♂ returns - both squawk - ♀ out of hole; ♂ to another tree close by, immediately chased by a pr. of Bluebirds, flies away. ♀ goes in hole. 8:09 - head out of hole. 3 Distant [illegible] (50-100 yds.) steady roll of Hairy is heard - ignored. 8:17 - out of hole. 8:20 back in, out of sight. 8:24 Head out, then all out, Away. 8:25 ♀ Returns. Squawks. Tattoo heard, closer tattoo. 8:27 ♀ goes in hole. 3 distant screams. ♂ returns, much squawking by both. ♂ away. ♀ out of hole, preens; back in hole, 8:29. 8:30 Carved "III" (or 3) on tree trunk - no response. Tapped twice, trying to simulate tattoo - bird looked out, then flew out screamed 3 times, squawked. ♂ returned, tattooed loudly close by. I left. (For convenience in writing, I have assumed that the ♀ is the bird in and out of the hole. It may or may not be the same bird every time; don't take sex signs literally)

Howell, T.R. 1949 s.v. daggetti 6 Twin Spring, _______ ft., 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 22 (cont'd.) 2:40 P.M. Returned to nest #2. The typical daggetti (♂?) was in the hole. It looked out, then flew out a few feet away and scolded me. I looked in with mirror and flash- light and saw three eggs, which is I believe, possibly a full clutch. I left immediately. About 100yds away I heard a Saps. scream and looked up to see one high up in a big yellow pine stub. It moved from branch to branch and then flew out of sight. The background was poor but the bird showed a lot of white spotting; possibly it was the mate of the nest #2 bird, which shows strong nuchalis color trends. At 3:45 P.M. I went to nest #1, which is about 5 ft up in a dead aspen. A bird flushed from the hole, and it was one I had not seen before—# nuchalis with tendencies toward daggetti. The other, the one I had seen, is daggetti with fairly well-marked nuchalis tendencies. I could not find any eggs after a diligent search with the mirror, and I am fairly sure I saw the bottom.

AT House PP/P [illegible] [illegible] I know that I am on my (b) way to be a new man. I will meet two kinds of people. One kind will be the same as you are today. The other kind will be different from what they were before. They will not let me go until I have learned how to live with them again. They will also try to make sure that I do not forget my old life. I hope this book will help me learn how to live with both kinds of people. I think it is very important for everyone to know about these two types of people and how they can work together. If we all try our best, maybe someday we will be able to live in peace forever.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti 7 Twin Spring ___ ft., 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. May 22 (cont'd). Both birds remained close by as I examined the nest cavity. This, nest #1, is about 1/3 of a mile from nest #3, occupied by two typical daggetti. May 23. Arrived at Crowder Flat at 5:30 A.M. and looked around the aspen grove by the ranger station. Two Hairy's were very noisy there, drumming and kyip!ing to each other. At the same spot I saw a Saps., mostly daggetti if not typical. It tapped idly in the aspens and in an adjacent yellow pine, and then squawked several times. I could not tell if there were answering intermingled squawks, but I don't think so. A Brewer Blackbird was squawking in an aspen close by - perhaps the saps. mistook it. Several possible nesting holes nearby. 5:50 - 2 birds now - 1 typical daggetti They pursue each other for short flights and witches round + round the aspens, always alighting low - usually less than 4'1/2-5 ft. Much squawking, occasional tattwoos, I think by both birds. Once they scuffled bill to bill in mid-air for a few seconds, about 4 ft. up, then popped into the grass 6:05 A one of the 2 flies up in

A 3rd daggetti appears perches x-wise, and is mounted - passive, probably un- successful, Now follows more tree to tree stuff, squawking + tapping. The other bird, left behind, tattoos a few times. One of this pair does much tapping in a small juniper. The other goes to a hole in an aspen 3 ft off the ground, hangs about it, taps around, looks in several times. Continued taps by both.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.V. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft. 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 23 (cont'd.) About ¼ mi. South of the ranger station, at 7:10, I came upon a daggetti busy excavating a hole in an aspen about 2½ ft. above ground. In a moment it was joined by another daggetti at the hole. Squawks. The first flew away. The second took a few pecks at the cavity, hitched about near it, tapping, and the flew off in the opposite direction from the first bird, catching an insect on the wing in the process. #5. I now went to nest #1, arriving at 8:10; no sign of the birds. At 8:25, a bird arrived at the nest - squawks - one emerged from the hole, flew to another tree, tattooed. 2nd bird approached hole, looked in several times, entered. Other flew off nearby. 8:30. - Much tapping by 2nd bird, probably feeding, about 50 ft from nest. 9:00 - Bird alights in tree near hole, taps. 9:03 - they change places. Relieved bird flies 30ft away, screams several times. 9:35 - Nuchalis > daggetti (intermediate, about ¾ or ⅔ nuchalis) alights in tree 10ft away, preens. 9:40 - to hole. Bird in hole out, other is above, hitches down to hole with about 20 screams, half in several times,

Howell, T.R. 1949 s.v. daggetti 10 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 23 (cont'd.) - screams, off to side, half in twice more - all in, 9:43. This n>d is the bird I took to be mostly nuchalis yesterday. A better look shows it to have strong daggetti colors. There is a narrow black breast band and some head striping, but most of the breast and head are heavily suffused with red. Mate is typical dggti. 10:30 At Twin Springs, a dggtti flew silently from low on a juniper by the shack to high in a big yellow pine, 12:55 Arrived at "nest" #5 (1/4 mi from Ranger Station) for 2 hr. watch. 1:00 - dggtti present, not at hole, silent. 1:08 near hole, few soft squawks. 1:30 - One bird excavates new hole, 7 ft up in a nearby aspen, 30ft from first. There are lots of fresh holes in these trees, some deep, some shallow - they may look for a rotten, soft core. 2:00 - other returns, 1st leaves. 2nd cleans out hole, no tapping. 2:15 - 1st returns, continues tapping, cleaning 2:40 - 2nd returns, squawks from both. 1st leaves. More excavating. 2:48 - 1st returns - alights above. 1st away from hole. 2:50 - squawks - neither at hole.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 24. I heard the first saps. noise tattoos + screams, at 5:20, AM. At 5:50 I saw a dgti (=daggetti) in a juniper on the edge of an aspen grove across the flat from "nest" #4 (which is [or was] at the Ranger Station). It was silent, and flew off across the meadow. At 7:25 I reached the area of nest #3 after searching other aspens and a lot of pine woods. I heard a saps. tattoo on a big dead stub here, but did not see him. I sat down and watched nest #3. At 7:35 I noticed one bird near the hole, apparently feeding. At 7:45, a 2nd bird emerged from the hole, flew over to the first. One of them left. At 7:50 the remaining one went back into the hole. At 7:55 the other bird returned - from a different direction this time. The bird in the hole came out, they exchanged soft squawks, and the other went in. At this time I left. This exchange of places suggest in- cubation. At 10:25 I went to nest #5. One was at the hole, silent, resting and preening and scratching (they do this often). At 10:35 I heard soft squawks, and a 2nd

NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif May 24 (cont'd.) bird appeared from lower on the tree. 1st bird leaves. 2nd goes right to hole, starts to clean debris out of hole, usually half way in. 10:37 Hitches up the tree about 3 ft., then flies to hole - silent- preens and continues cleaning out hole. I did not hear any pecking. 10:42. Bird seems nervous, hitches up 3ft, then back to hole. 10:45 1st bird returns, both squawk. 2nd leaves, 1st goes right to work. 10:50 Bird all the way in except for tip of tail. 11:02 2nd comes to juniper close by - soft squawks other still busy in the hole. 2nd goes to aspen, alights just above hole, shifts about. No response from 1st. 2nd moves to another free close by. A Hairy Woodpecker appears near the aspen, and is chased to a yellow pine about 60 ft away by the 2nd bird. Then it goes and chases the Hairy out of the pine. The Hairy shows no resistance, there is no fighting. The saps. is quiet, the Hairy kyip's a few times. The 2nd returns to a nearby aspen, alights for a moment at a hole about 8ft up, flies away. 11:07. 1st bird still in hole, has taken no notice. 11:10 2nd

(1958) to (1960 in 25, ft mass traffic subway) filed on March I was told by a friend (his name is Mr. M.) that he had been sent out of the country for his own safety, and glad to think that I could do something about it. I am sure you will be very happy, glad to see me again. He's always gone out of his way to help others, and glad to know that he has done so much for him. I'm glad too. He said: "I was born in Russia, moved here in 1907, and came back to New York in 1938." He told me about the time when he first came to America, and how hard it was to find work and make a living. He also talked about his family, and how they had struggled to survive during those difficult years. He said: "I remember one day when I went out to look for work, and I saw a man who looked like me, except that he was wearing a suit instead of rags. So I walked up to him and asked if he needed any help. He smiled and said, 'No thanks, but maybe you could use some advice.' And so we began our conversation about life in America, and what it meant to be an immigrant here. He said: "One thing that struck me most was the kindness of people I met along the way. They always seemed willing to lend a hand, whether it was giving directions or helping with groceries. It reminded me of stories my grandmother used to tell about her own experiences as a young girl arriving in New York City. He said: "There is no doubt that there is something special about America, and I am grateful for the opportunity to call this country home. But I also know that it takes time to truly feel at ease here, and I still have much to learn about life on these shores." He said: "But until then, I'll just keep working hard and trying my best to make a living for myself and my family. And who knows? Maybe someday soon, I'll even get to see the sights of Paris or London, just like you did before me. Until then, thank you very much for your kindness and hospitality."

Goes up above hole, down to it - squawks again - 1st stays in. 2nd flies away. 1st comes out, rests. 11:18 2nd flies directly to hole. 1st leaves right away - few squawks exchanged, 2nd goes right to work, Steller jays and Robins calling loudly to (or at) each other are ignored. 11:48 - 1st returns to above hole, hitches down. 2nd leaves. A Red-tailed Hawk soaring over and screaming is ignored. 12:12 2nd returns to hole, other still almost all in. 2nd goes from tree to tree nearby, then away. At this point I noticed that the first bird, although mostly daggti, has a few nuchalis color traits - extended white stripe on side of head, a little black on crown. Other is typical daggetti. 12:13 1st bird out of hole; 2nd nearby preening, scratching, shaking. 1st bird leaves hole, flies to the 2nd bird.

May 24, (cont'd) the mirror more carefully this time and saw 3 eggs in the nest; this was suggested, of course, by the fact that the birds changed places regularly. I left immediately so as not to disturb the birds further About 1/4 of a mile down towards nest #3, or most of the way to no. 3, I heard a saps. scream and saw a daggetti alight low in a yellow pine. As I watched it, it flew from tree to tree in the area, squawking a few times, and finally flew to a hole in an aspen about 4 ft off the ground. After a few minutes of nervous bobbing of its head it finally went in the hole. I walked out of sight to give the bird a few minutes to calm down, and came over to the hole at 3:00 RM. There were lots of fresh chips on the ground below it, so it must be freshly ex- cavated. As is usual, there are several other holes in the same tree, of varying age. [illegible] I tapped on the tree to flush the bird, but nothing happened. I looked in with the mirror and there was

It seemed a bit cramped, about like this -> (top view) tail -> head -> I tapped again and still there was no response, so I decided to leave the bird alone. This is, then, nest #6. (#4 seems to have been left) 6:30 A.M. Arrived at nest #5. It is still very light but the sun is out of the meadow; the tree tops are still in the sun. No sign of sapsuckers. 7:10 One screams 5 times about 50 yds away. 7:40 It is now fairly dark; Robins are still noisy, but not for long. I tapped on the nest tree but no response. May 25 Nest #6-5:30 P.M. Bird was on tree by hole, flew away silently. There are 5 eggs in this nest, lying in fresh-looking chips - there are freshly excavated chips around the hole, too. The core of the tree is not at all rotten, but cleanly chiseled. 5:50 P.M. #1 ~ Bird on nest, will not flush even after repeated tappings and pokings of mirror in hole.

About 30 yds farther, I find a small clump of about 12 aspens, one with many old and new holes. I started to poke around in them, and looked up to see a sapsucker's head sticking out of one about 10 ft. up. I squealed, and the bird squeezed out and flew to a small pine close by and screamed. It was a typical daggetti. I marked this #7 and walked on. At 12:10 I returned. The same bird comes to the nest, and a typical nuchalis, apparently a male, emerges, after usual exchange of soft squawks. 12:18 The daggetti out, with a gaping beak full of chips, flies to small pine a few feet away, tosses them with a shake of the head. The nuchalis (it turned out to be a ♀) probably a ♂, full red throat + chin) goes in hole. 12:20. 12:25 - A White-headed comes into one of the close pines - d. flies over to him - no sound, can't see. 12:30 d. to hole - squawks - n. out - d. in.

I get up and go to the nest, both fly off. It has 5 eggs in it. I leave at once. with regard to the squirrel incident at nest #5, it seemed to me at the time that the birds were so un- concerned that it may have been an act - of course this is speculation, but I want to record the impression. I am very pleased to find a mixed pair - typical daggetti and typical nuchalis The hairy's are nesting only about 30yds away, and they do not seem to pay any attention to each other. 4:05 P.M. Arrived at nest #1. At 4:12, just as the sun shone into the hole, the n > d bird flew out into a nearby pine and screamed several times. I did not see or hear the other bird. There are 5 eggs in the nest - there may have been 5 before- this is a hard one to see in. I left at 4:15. 4:30- Another nest, #8 - 7 ft up in a aspen, between 1 and 6.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.V. daggetti Journal 22 Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif May 27 (cont'd.) tests are made before a definitive hole is chosen, as there are usually several fresh looking holes which are left shallow. The holes do not consistently face in any particular di- rection. Both birds seem to participate equally in excavation and incubation. 5 eggs, not 3, seems to be a full clutch. The birds are very quiet most of the time except when disturbed right at the nest. The only way to find them is by luck and by poking around each hole-ridden aspen and watching for a bird to stick its head out. Possibly they are nesting in the pines too but there are so many hole-ridden pine stubs that it will be purely fortuitous if I find any nests in those. The nests are distributed as follows: (NOT TO SCALE: [#s 1,8,6,3 are not so evenly spaced. Aspens are scattered irregu- larly along the creeks) W 5 C.F. Twin Spr. Creek Willow Creek 4 1 8 6 2 7 3

(28) Matters of Law A good start to make (like) a wall of trust in order to establish where each part does not belong. To do this, get the middle first and left out. And then you can go on with everything that is left over. Both parts seem to be full of methodical and political no motion or just a lot of energy & more than the team can do it all out. To begin with, we need to get more about our own way first. The next step is by luck and by doing so, it's not pointless but maybe harder - short cut too hard at the side of land a bird that wants to nest in it. There are so many more things enjoying nature - short years as we want something during all this for their sake and 'great' or even you can try it if possible as history, our story (1) close at top) for one & 2 (3) no not .63300s ythms as - no enogh (2) and photo that (exams)

I went to see Mrs. P. at her house where she lives with her husband and two children. She is a very nice woman and has been very kind to me since I came here last summer when I first started school. We had a good time together and I enjoyed myself very much while I was there. At 2:30 PM I left Mrs. P.'s house and walked home again. It was raining heavily so I had to hurry along as much as possible to avoid getting wet. The streets were muddy and slippery due to all the rain that had fallen during the day before. My shoes became quite soaked by the time I reached my own front door. Back home I changed into dry clothes immediately after arriving inside my house from outside where it still rained heavily outside too much for anyone else who might come out soon enough later on tonight if they wanted to do so anyway.

May 31 (cont'd.) about low in the aspens, pines, and a juniper (mentioned before in connection with pr. #4). One would fly a few yards away and soon the other would follow and hitch toward the first, sometimes upside-down around a branch, sometimes around a trunk. Much squawking, I believe by both birds. It was hard to keep track, but I think both pursued the other at one time or another—not sure. A white-headed appeared close by and called—it was chased not very ferociously twice by one of the birds. Then they each flew off in different directions, the one I followed behind the Ranger station. Screams from the other direction, answered.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti 30 crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 31 (cont'd.) 11:28 - d. returns from across meadow - to nest - sqwks - d > n out. D. looks in, goes in. D, > n screams from close by then (presumably) from afar. 11:32 - N. to hole - looks in - there are sqwks. - nothing comes out. N. to previous workings 2 ft away. 11:35 - N. flies over my head to pine 40 yds away, same side of meadow as nest. 2 screams. 11: 38 - N. back next to hole, preens, 11:43 N. off to tree 5 ft away - hitches up, taps. 11:52 D > n to hole, - sqwks - d, out, to same tree as n., hitches toward n., a couple of feet higher. No apparent agressiveness. N. flies to thicket along creek 30 yds away. D > n looks in hole, goes in, 11:53. I must leave; I am too chilled and wet and cramped to stay. At about 12:00 I passed #2, one bird flew a few yards away from near the nest at my approach. Rest of day, rain, hail, cold. It seems from this brief observation that the nuchalis has been rejected as a mate, since he was denied entrance to the nest by both the other birds. This will require checking, June 1 - see Journal.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.u daggetti 31 Crowder Flat, 5200ft., 38 mi. N.N.W. of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 2.- Went out to Juniper Spring area, 2mi. W. of Crowder Flat. At 10:00 A.M. I saw a daggetti working around in a Juniper and a dead pine stub- no nest seen. There were quite a few aspens along the small creek here, and some showed saps, workings, but I did not see a single hole in any of them. At 12:50 I saw a d., feeding silently in a Mt. Mahogany. At 1:30 I heard several saps, screams nearby. At 2:30 I returned to the same Mt. mahogany; at least 2 daggetti used it to feed on in the next half hour- one had faint head streaks and the other just a white post-ocular spot. They both used much the same route for leaving, and would remain only a few moments. They fed by poking their bills into the pits and grooves they had drilled from an angle quite off to the side. The spot was visited 5 times in the half hour. At 3:15, about 1/4 mi. from the previous spot, I saw another daggetti; like the others, it was silent. This makes at least 3, probably 4 birds seen in this area, all daggetti.

Happah n.2 R.T. Howitt PP1 In the morning I went out to work in my car at about 8am, and when I got to the office I found that there was a lot of traffic on the way, so I had to wait for a while before I could get in. When I finally arrived at the office, I discovered that someone had left their car parked outside, which caused some confusion as they were not supposed to leave it there. After speaking with the manager, we decided to move the car to another location where it wouldn't block anyone's path.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti 32 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 2 (cont'd.). Perhaps they are nesting in the dead pine stubs, which are full of holes, I have rapped on a lot of them and have not yet found a nest. Perhaps they are unmated birds, or just feeding away from the nests.. At any rate, although they may show slight n. coloration, they are certainly d. At 4:30 P.M. 4:25 P.M. I went to nest #2 - it was empty except for a few wood chips in the bottom - not a sign of an egg shell. I suspect the innumerable squirrels or chipmunks nearby - I don't think a jay could get into the hole without difficulty. This nest was only 4 ft off the ground maybe a snake raided it. Disappointing. 4:30 P.M. At #7. 4:40 - d. to nest- squaks - apparently from within, as d's beak did not open - n. comes out. D. goes to a close tree, then back to nest - then d>n comes out! D. in. D>n close by, taps. n. away. D>n preens. Screams from across meadow, 4:50 loud squks; d. flies out, across meadow, but not toward the previous screams. From d., several screams, several loud tattoos - 60-75yds away 4:54 - 2 more screams from d. 4:57 n. to

Howell, T.R 1949 S.v. daggetti 37 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 3 (cont'd.) the bird was also on the nest and did not move when I poked the mirror in. At 11:57 another saps. was close by, moving silently from asp to pine. At 12:03 it came to a few inches beside the hole. This bird is a daggetti > nuchalis - fairly distinct [illegible] head stripes, no breast band. I heard nothing, but a strong wind rushing through the pines may have drowned out soft squiks. The bird on the nest came out and was lost to sight. The 2nd bird picked around near the hole, then looked in it from the side, but did not go in. Next it flew to another tree close by, above the level of the nest. I took this oppor- tunity to look in: the 5 eggs are still there, unhatched. I left immediately. The bird on the nest was typical daggetti, with a faint post-ocular white streak. At this nest site other picids and passerines are abundant. Nesting within 20 yds are House Wrens, Pygmy Nuthatches, Flickers, and probably Hairy Woodpeckers as well as other passerines. 6 2:50 P.M. At #7 again. [illegible] in nearby asp. D > n. arries from across meadow; # d. to nest tree above nest. d>n to nest - squks - d. out across meadow. D>n gets head in about 8 times, all in N. comes right out, goes to usual dead asp tops. 7

Pine bird screams once, other "replies". Bird at nest in, then out to asp 10yds away. Too dark to tell which is which. "Asp" bird screams.

The tattooing continues through this exchange, so pr #1 is not involved. I'm afraid I am still in doubt about whether the tattooing is done by saps. - possibly some certainly not all.

D>n pauses, hitches around tree to nest looks in 4 times, goes in. 9:45 - a herd of horses comes strolling up, spoiling the observation. I leave. 6 The habits of these pairs all seem to be quite similar. At least every 10 minutes, re- gardless of the time of day, one parent comes up with food and usually goes in the nest for a few minutes. Soon the other comes up, there are squawks, and places are changed. They seem to have stereotyped ways of going to the nest once they are at the nest tree. The cruising range of these birds must be at least 200 yds, probably more. I have seen them come off the nest and keep right on goin for well over 100 yds until lost to sight. 7 1:50 P.M. At # 7, after long walk with ladder, and brush with the stock in the meadow. 1:56 - D. to nest; sqwks - N. out, to dead asp. D. looks in several times, in. N. taps. Sqwks from nest.

Inside, and I could see almost all the bottom,- are 2 naked young and six eggs, one of them cracked around the center, possibly hatching. There was another part of the nest to the side into which I could not see. At 2:25, N. came to the nest, sqwks - a bird out, n. in. At 2:29 there was another fast exchange, with sqwks.

All 3 birds seem to get along amicably for the most part. Are there 2 fs, or has one laid a double clutch in re- sponse to having 2 mates? There is a recess in the nest cavity out of range of the mirrors and there may be more eggs or young hidden there; ten would be a perfect double brood.

Happens v.2 I told you at the end of my last post, I wanted to follow up on the following comment: "And then there's a guy who has a trial waiting for him that he'll win with his girlfriend at the bar and she gets caught cheating on him and they get divorced and one of them 'kinda' ends up in jail. Then only other thing is an A-8450 to 'kinda' go down. A friend of mine at A-2237 (17"/16") You're at B-925, my friend at A-2237 now in 2009 & the A played at B-2237 much worse than 21 out of two E-925 games. I had a 14:8 boat meeting anyway at no time for two of you or your team for two of A-808, which was yours. You two at A-2237 were also very good and amazing part of each other's life that we 20:8-25 by 92 tried to your own, 92/10/7 A To enjoy good sex I'm at B-508 you two at B-206 as most people who at A-317, which seems too much for a 14:8 meeting? A young boy & girl of age and you have more years for the 74 court but race with 92:8. You're shy & even less fun at B-21:8, which seemed so much better than you had to go through.

if you are to win at all (and I don't believe in winning, but...) if you are to win at all, you must be the best (or at least one of the best) in your field. you can't just say "I'm the best" and expect people to believe you. You have to prove it. you have to work hard, you have to study, you have to practice, you have to try to be better than everyone else. you have to be willing to fail, you have to be willing to learn from your mistakes, you have to be willing to keep going even when things are tough. you have to be willing to take risks, you have to be willing to go outside your comfort zone, you have to be willing to try new things. you have to be willing to listen to other people, you have to be willing to learn from them, you have to be willing to work with them. you have to be willing to be patient, you have to be willing to wait for the right opportunity, you have to be willing to keep working even when things aren't going well. you have to be willing to be humble, you have to be willing to admit when you're wrong, you have to be willing to learn from your mistakes. you have to be willing to be grateful, you have to be willing to appreciate the people and opportunities in your life, you have to be willing to give back to others. if you can do all of this, if you can be the best version of yourself, then you will win. Not just in sports or business, but in life.

One out, then other out, both away to this side of meadow. I leave. It seems from these observations that there is no slackening of activity even during the hottest part of the day -- and it was hot. The parents visited the nest every 7 minutes at the most, frequently with only 1 or 2 minutes between visits. It is noteworthy that in all cases observed thus far that nest sanitation follows a strict routine pathway if not time. When a bird carries feces out of the nest, it always goes to the same tree and drops them; apparently this is true of both birds, not just one. The other pairs show identical behavior.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti 81 Crowder Flat 5200 ft. 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 12 (cont'd.) - There seems to be little deviation in the pattern of care of young in any of the pairs. All during the day food is brought at least every 10 minutes, usually every 7, or oftener. There are no apparent slack or hyperactive periods. Possibly nest sanitation is carried out largely by one of the pair, perhaps the F. More or less stereotyped behavior and pathways to the nest are the rule. Much flycatching is done. The watching is extremely boring as there is so little variation of activity.

Silent. I leave. The behavior of n. at this nest is new in that she frequently did not go in the nest on her visits to it. N. would arrive at the nest with food, duct his head in and out once rather quickly, and then go about half- way inside for a few seconds, coming out without food no longer in his bill. D. and d>n almost always go right in the nest and stay until relieved or until they decide to clean the nest. I have seen n. clean nest only once, and the others several times. Possibly d.and d>n are both F.s. (d>is a f) At #1, only one bird has been noted cleaning nest, and at the other nests both birds although, probably one does most of it. 7:14 P.M.

As far as I can tell, d>n and d. were both on the nest, which increases my suspicion that they are both fs (later proved wrong) Probably the tapping, which I heard in the afternoon also but hesitated to record as coming from the nest, is serving to enlarge the cavity to fit the growing family. The oldest young in this nest are 11 days old.

June 20 (cont'd.) rocky plateaus with juniper, pine, and mountain mahogany trees and sage brush and a little manzanita. Along the creek are clumps of willows. The sapsuckers almost always fly off either to the east or south, taken broadly. I do not recall seeing one go off to the northwest, where there are many aspens but not other nests that I could find, but that is the only direction they do not seem to utilize. At some time d:n must have come off the nest, probably last night unnoticed by me in the dust. At any rate, d. seems to have spent the night in the nest. I did not hear sounds from the young until 4:39 A.M.; they were noisy at the next visit, then quieted down again. 8:25 A.M.-At #1- I met n>d about 50 yds away picking insects out of a little pine on my way to the nest. 8:28-d. to nest from W., in, out to E. 8:29-n>d to nest,from E. in, out, off to W. 8:33- n>d to nest from W., in out, off to W. 8:34- d to nest from W., in, cleans nest to asp 20 yds away - not usual.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif.

At this point I went up to the nest to look in at the young, which are about 17 days old. As far as I could tell with the mirror, they have full juvenal plumage -- sooty on the head and breast, and mottled black and white remiges and rectrices. Their eyes are fully open. These should be ready to leave the nest before many more days. 11:30 - At last I found the nest of the squirrckers that are so often by the ranger station. It is about 40-50 ft up in a half-dead yellow pine which has numerous other holes in it. The birds are both daggetti but show some signs of nuchalis head striping. The pine is right across the meadow from the ranger station. This nest is, then, #10; possibly the pair is the same that I saw originally as excavating nest #4. 1:30 - at #10 - 1:34 A. to nest, sqwks, in with food, out, away. 1:38 - B to left d of nest, with food, picks at bark, to nest, goes in.

It is full daylight, and the sun is shining in the meadow when not obscured by a cloud. I leave. The young in this nest #3 are 18 days old today, but apparently one parent still roosts in the nest. It seems that feeding commences at the usual rate as soon as the birds come off the roost. Noise does not show any effect of activating them, as a House Wren was singing loud and long right outside the nest from at least 3:47 A.M. on. 7:55- at #10 - 7:56- A out, cleans nest to same big pine 20 yds off as yesterday. 8:02- B to nest from adjacent pine 5 yds away, in.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif June 21 (cont'd.), to right as B out to N, A in. The sun during this observation is shining on the birds' left side as they face the nest; the nest itself is in sun. 9:01- A d. appears from S. to dead top of nest pine, taps. I hear a sqwk, see A leave nest to "disposal" tree.. A third bird appears below the tapper - which is B I can't say. They hitch around, and one chases the other to the Pine, then to disposal tree. 3 birds are in the tree, there is much loud squking and chasing that I cannot follow. One bird leaves to the N. 9:04- A (let us say) to Pine, to nest, in; has winged insect, probably a dragon fly. 9:05- B to nest, sqwks, to right, to left as A out, B in. 9:15- A to nest, sqwks to left as B out, A in. 9:18- A glances out as 2 chickadees work by.

At this point I ran out of ink and returned for some; I will go back to the nest in a few minutes. The activity is so fast I will have to omit the parts about which direction the birds come and go to (+ from). I will just try to identify the parent, which is difficult as they get their heads in the nest so rapidly. 11:23- back at #1.- 11:25- n>d feeds twice - to W. 11:28- n>d. again feeds, off to N. 11:29- d. feeds once 11:31- n>d feeds once. 11:34- n>d feeds once. 11:35- ? feeds once. 11:37- same. 11:39 n>d feeds thrice. 11:41- n>d feeds once. 11:43- ? to nest, feeds thrice. 11:47- n>d feeds once.

Most of the time n>d came from the W. and left to the N; it might circle to the W. or fly that way a minute later. I question any identification of d. at the nest. At 11:47 I saw both at once; d. was around but not feeding the young. N>d was working a furious pace. At no time did an adult go in the nest. These young are about 18 days old.

Howell, T.R. 1949 108 s.v. daggetti Cowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 21 (cont'd.) out in open meadows. No stars visible. I leave, 8:10. I am almost certain that n> d visited the nest, and I am positive it did at least half the time. could d, not too "pure" a d., have become worn to resemble n> d more closely? I think not. If both had been feeding, I probably would have seen both at once as always before. The young in #1 are about 18 days old; it seems that a parent does not roost on the nest at this stage. N> d went in, then came out, and d. was not seen in the evening. Noteworthy at #7 was the fact that there was little remaining in the nest by any of the parents; it was mostly feed and leave, or go in, then come right out. When I write "feed," by the way, I mean the bird gets his head in the nest—it may be looking or pushing young aside, but I can't write down all the probabilities on the spot. When I say "look," that means the head is ducked or bobbed in and out at a rate that seems too fast for feeding. June 22 - 3:50 at #1—much too dark by nest to see. Moon still bright. 4:11-4 harsh screams from saps, 5 yds to E of nest; bird then to nest, several looks or feeds, in, looks out, back in, then out to asp 5 yds off. More screams. I thought I heard the young, and if so they are silent again. It is about as light as at 8:05 last night—too dark to tell which parent it was. 4:18-n> d looks in, back to 5yds off. screams. A bird comes from near nest tree, off to W. 4:21. Tattoos from W, about 30-40 yds away. Sun not yet up.

Shopeh v.2 The time is the best one I met her - yes (it was) so great. I remember that she came to me - she had two sons - but they were not my sons. She told me about them too - she said: "They are mine". But when I went home, I found out that she was lying. It turned out that we did something together which made her jealous. Then I asked her why she lied to me and what happened between us. She answered: "I didn't do anything wrong! I just wanted to make you happy!" But I didn't believe her anymore. After a while, I decided to leave her alone forever. So now I am single again. And life goes on as usual for me - no big changes since then. Just some small things happen every day like this: One morning I wake up late because my alarm clock didn't work properly. I rush to get ready quickly before going to work. But by the time I reach the office, everyone is already there waiting for me. My boss asks me why I'm so late today? I explain everything happened during the night and apologize profusely. He says nothing matters most important thing is that we need quick results from our team members. So he tells me to stay focused on my tasks instead of worrying about personal issues. Later in afternoon break time, one colleague comes over asking if I can help him with something urgent. I agree immediately without hesitation since helping others always brings joy into life too! We spend next hour working hard together until finally completing project successfully. Everyone praises us highly afterwards congratulating each other warmly. Feeling proud of ourselves makes sense right? After all, teamwork really does make dreams come true!

Title: on whom certain claims must be made A claimant, you may at A-1000, C to B-201 (C) and so on; and the same at A-2000, but not at a point about A-300 or B-400 being just "(this right?) it is not clear." So, you must be told that if you make a claim for ten at A-2010, which two of them are given as equal to 5 (as was most often) in a B-21 or C-30, the same applies, but if the first one of them is 3 and the second one is 8 more than the other ones: this is not told. If you make a claim at A-4000, then you may also get no more given to be told again to 50% or unknown amount. If it is hard for you to find out that there are 2 or 3 more of them, and if you can't find 3 or 4 more at all, it's impossible to make a claim. If you can find A-1600, it is hard to think that it's not possible for you to find 3 and 8 more of the given ones. But if you can find A-2000, then you should find some department or person, who can tell you what you do. If you don't have enough money to make a claim, then all your chances are lost in court. If at the A-30, it would be easier -24:5 if it's hard to find 3 and 8 more -21:5 having given most money, giving most is not found well to think that you can't find a claim of them. It must be said that there is no way to make a claim if you don't have enough money.

During the warm parts of the day, at least, the parents show little tendency to go in the nest at this stage- 19 day-old young. Although A and B are, of course, terms of convenience and may not mean different birds each time, it is clear from the number of times both were seen together that both birds are participating in the feeding. At no time in this 2 hr. watch was the nest cleaned, which surprised me. I now set out to pace off the distances between the nests on this stretch of meadow. #6 is almost exactly 100 yds N. of #3. Then 100yds N. of #6, I found another nest, about 7 ft up in the usual type of asp- about

Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti Crowder Flat. 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co. Calif. June 22 (cont'd.) 10 in in diameter, living, with several other holes in it. I was attracted to it by the now-familiar cries of sapsucker young of over 10 days old. A bird came up and screamed at me - it was a d. with food. I went on so as not to disturb them unduly or attract predators. This is nest #11; how I missed it until now I don't know. I remember tapping on that tree and getting no response about 2 wks ago, when the eggs were unhatched, I guess. I continued to pace off toward #8. This nest, by the way, is too difficult to watch for any length of time as the only place it can be clearly seen is so close that the parent birds are obviously distressed. #8 is about 400 yds N. of the new #11; possibly there are one or two nests between, as there are some suitable asp, but I heard no more young on this rapid jaunt. The meadow clears of trees a bit, and it is about 350 yds to #1. As I passed I heard the young and saw a parent feed them in the nest. I went on and came out to the asps on the SW edge of the meadow about 100 yds SW of the ranger station. Here I heard young again, and located a nest, #12, in a big dead pine a few yards west of the aspens. A typical daggetti fed, then went in. This tree is about 45 ft. high, broken off sharply at the top, and dead. Like #10, however, the bark is still on it. A couple of feet down from the top is the nest; there are several other holes around it. The nest faces N. The nests are easy to find now that the young are so noisy. I can now draw a fair map of the nests in the area.

Cries of young loud, audible at least 40yds away. 8:36 n>d from W, feeds, off to W. 8:37 - n>d from E, 1 feed, off to E. 8:39 - bird from W, feeds, off. 8:39.5 - same-n>d. 8:40- some. 8:41, same, 2 feeds. 8:43- same. 8:44-same. 8:47-same 8:49-same 8:50-same. 8:50.5 same. 8:51same 8:51.5 same. 8:52-same. 8:55-same. 8:57.5 - same, but 2 feeds. 9:01- same. 9:02- same but 1 feed. 9:04-same, 2 feeds. 9:07same, 1 feed 9:09-same. 9:12- same, 3 feeds. 9:16-same, 1 feed 9:18-same, 2 feeds. 9:19 - 1 feed. 9:22-same, 9:24-same. 9:26.5-same. 9:29- same, 2 feeds. 9:30-same, 1 feed. 9:31 same. 9:35,same, 2 feeds. 9:37: same, 1 feed. 9:39-same, 2 feeds 9:41.5-same. 9:43-same 9:45-same 3 feeds. 9:48, same, 1 feed. 9:52-same. 9:53-same, 2 feeds, 9:55-same. 9:57-same. 9:58-same. 10:06.5-same, 4 feeds. Between 10:08 and 10:15 I went to the area where n>d goes usually on leaving the nest. About 75yds W. of the nest I saw n>d come and go 3 times from a group of small pines and mt. mahogany. N>d seems to be carrying on alone still, and most of the food-gathering is from the west side. 11:15 - at #11; between 11:15 and 11:25 there were 3 feedings, and the parent(s) did not go in. At 11:25, 28, 29, 31, and 11:33 a parent visited; different ones alternated. Both are typical d., or almost so. One has a small white post-ocular stripe that makes it easy to tell them apart. yesterday I made some underestimates - the tree is about 12 in. thick, and the nest about 11 ft up, or about the same height as #7. Judging by the calls of the young, the rapidity of the feeding and the fact that the parents are not going in the nest, I would say that the young are about 20 days old.

June 23 (cont'd.) that at all the nests checked today, except #1, feeding is being carried on at a rapid rate by both parents. 1:55 P.M. - I have found another nest, #13, about 40-50 ft up in a big dead pine with the bark still on. The nest faces east. It is by the road, about half way between the Twin Spring road and Upper Place. The young were calling loudly and must be well advanced cos I could see their bills protrude from the nest opening. One parent is a d>n; I will find the other later this afternoon, 2:27- At # 7. 2:29-d>n from S, in slowly, looks out,out, to NE 2:30- d. to nest, in, out, to NW (again) 2:33 n. from W, 3 feeds, lat almost all in, backs out, off to NE, 2:34 n from NE, 2 feeds in, out with debris to small pine 5yds off (not usual); do to nest sqwks, in. 2:35 d>n from NE, sqwks, d. out, d>n in, out, away. 2:39- n. from S., 2 looks, in, out to NE. 2:40 d>n in, looks out, out to NE. 2:43- d from S., 1 look, in, cleans nest to alternate tree, off to S. 2:46 d from S., in 2:47- d. out to asp 6ft off, d>n to branch by nest, sqwks, to nest, in, looks out, out to same asp as d., sits, picks. 2:50- from tree to tree, flycatches; off to S. 2:52-n. from 150 yds b NE direct to nest, 2 looks, in, out as d. from S.; d. in. 2:55-d out, to pine 6ft away. 2:57 d>n from S., in slowly, out, to NE. 2:58-n. from S, 3 feeds, off to N. 3:01.d>n from NE, in, 3 looks out, out. 3:02 n. from NE 3 feeds, in, then cleans nest to alternate tree (same as d. at 2:43). 3:06-n from S, 3 feeds, in, again cleans nest to alternate tree. 3:07 d>n to nest, in, looks out, out, to asp 6 ft off, away. 3:09- d from S., in, cleans nest to pine 6ft awaya not usual.

This is a limited-vision method, of course, but I could see 2 young at once; their eyes were half open and their pinfeathers were beginning to break open and fluff out. These young are about 15 days old. 4:06 - at #3- 4:09-A from E, I feed, flycatches, off to E, back, one feed, off to S. 4:12 B from W, u.r., 2 feeds, to NW. 4:17 - A from E direct, feed twice, off to E, followed immediately by B from W; I feed, to E. In both cases I could see the bills of young protruding from the nest hole, and there is a beating noise as though they are flapping. Their cries are clearly audible 50 yds away. 4:20-A from E direct, I feed, to asp, off to E. 4:23-B from W direct, I feed, off, A right to nest as B leaves, squk, I feed, off to W. 4:31- B from E direct, I feed, to branch, off to E. 4:32-same.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat 5200ft, 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 23(cont'd) are both daggetti >nuchalis, fairly distinct in head striping, one more so than the other. The young must be about the same age as those in #3, or about 20 days, as both are now sticking their heads out of the nest. The adults at all the nests show noticeable signs of wear, particularly about the head. 5:40 P.M. At #12 - bird leaves from nest. 5:44 - a d. to nest, feeds, away, screams. 5:45 - a d. to nest, 1 feed, off to W. 5:48 - d. again feeds once, came from W, away. 5:51 - both to nest, from E (dsn) and W (d). 1 D. feeds, dsn right below, d. off to W, dsn to nest, feeds, off to E, across meadow. The nest faces N. One is fairly typical d., the other "typical" dsn - fairly distinct head stripes, no black breast band. 5:55 - d. from [illegible], 2 feeds, in, out with debris, glides to pine 10yds N, whets bill, off to W. 5:57 dsn at nest, 4 feeds, off to W. 5:58.5 - d. from W, 2 feeds, dives straight down, then away? 6:01 - d. about half-way up to nest, gathering insects, working up slowly. 6:04 - d. off to W, without going to nest. I leave. Thus, out of 9 nests in the area, #1 is the only one attended by just one bird. Oddly enough, this one is definitely an intermediate and may be an F, of n. and d. Noteworthy today is the fact that some of the young now get their heads up into the entrance and meet the parent half way. Also, n. at #7 indulged in nest cleaning several times, and I had observed that only once before. June 24 - at #1, 5:41 P.M. - young just fed. 5:43 - dsn from W, one fed, young's head half out, off to W. 5:45 - same, but off to E. 5:46 - n >d across to W. 5:47 - same as 5:43. 5:52.5 - same.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v.daggetti crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. June 25 (cont'd). -3:57- d>n from way NE, I look, in; d. from S., d>n cleans nest; d.in. 3:58-n. from NE, squks; d. cleans nest to a pine 15yds SW; n. 2 looks, in; d. to S; n. out, to S. thicket. 4:02 P.M.-d. from S to dead asp, to branch by nest, to nest, 2 looks,in. I leave. I decided to walk through the aspen groves toward Upper Place, hoping to hear young in nests that I had missed. I heard none, but on reaching nest #2, which had had 5 eggs in it but was cleaned out by a predator on about June 1, I was astonished to hear cries of young. Also, I caught sight of one of the parents, d. strongly>n, with food. The young sounded about a week old; I will have to check by bringing the mirror and looking in. If pr. #2 laid another clutch around June 1, and took 2 weeks to hatch them, this would be about the right age. There are, then, 10 pairs of sapsuckers with young in the area - that I have found. Probably there are many more to the N. and W. 4:33-At #13. Although I watched until 5:00 P.M., I did not hear a single cry of a young bird or hear or see an adult. It is probable, then, that these young have left the nest. They were of advanced age when found; they were sticking their heads out of the nest on June 23. This will have to be checked tomorrow. There were Mt.Chickadees feeding young in a nest a few feet below #13, and they were singing as well. The young birds at #1 and #3, at least, make a clapping sound which I think is caused by rapid opening and closing of the bill. I first supposed this was due to wings flapping but now I think not. All the young are crying unless stated otherwise.

1 2 v. 50763412 I'm not sure if I am still in the [illegible] of my life but I feel like I am going to be okay with it. I had a bad dream last night about my family and my friends. It was very strange because I didn't know who they were or what happened to them. I woke up feeling scared and confused. I think that maybe I should talk to someone about this. Maybe even a therapist? I don't know, but something is definitely bothering me right now. It's just weird how some things can make us feel so vulnerable sometimes.

He perched x-wise on branch before going to nest. 10:57.5 - dzn from thicket, 3 looks, 1 feed, pause, off to NE. 10:58 - n. from way NE, 1 look, 1 feed, to branch, whets bill, off to E at least 100 yds 11:00 - I leave. It is still chilly in the shade and when the wind blows. This is the first time I have seen d. go to the nest, feed, and leave without going in. The other two do this fairly often. Dzn looks pale on the throat, now that some wear has occurred; dzn must be a ?, I think. There seems to be no coordination in feeding at # 7: sometimes they come and go separately, sometimes all 3 arrive at once. This seems true of the other nests too, but with 3 birds it is more evident. Noted for the first time was the occasional difficulty of d. and n. in getting out, and d's action of picking or poking at the inner rim of the nest hole. Possibly the latter is actually poking at the young, in which case both actions are a result of a crowded nest, which is probable. Nevertheless, d. and n. were both in at the same time once, and they seem to feed young while another parent is on the nest. 12:50 - at # 1 - from N, 1 feed, to W. 12:52 - from W, 1 feed, to W. 12:53 - same, but to N. 12:55 - same as 12:52.

I leave. D>n did not appear during this watch; I shall have to check again. I visited #13 twice during the morning for 15 minute intervals and did not hear or see a sign of adults or young. The young in nests #1 and 3 are about the same age possibly a day apart. They are so large that when one puts his head out it fills the hole. The plumage on the head and breast is sooty grey, lighter around the eye. The bill is bluish grey, much lighter at the gape. Eyes dark. The white mark from above the bill to under the eye shows plainly in these juvenals. At #3, A is more worn about the head than B, and in favorable light they are easy to tell apart. I am sure of the identifications today. The weather has remained noticeably cooler than yesterday, although clear and sunny throughout.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 27(cont'd): 3:45 P.M. - at #8 for a brief watch. I was seen by dsn, and the bird screamed loud and long. Finally I got out of sight and watched. Between 3:45 and 3:58, dsn made 2 visits to the nest and d. also 2 visits. The young had a head out most of the time, and I heard a few imm. screams. These are about the same age as #1 and #3, or about 24 days. 4:05 P.M. at #1. 4:06- nd to left of nest, not to it, looks, flies over just over my head, then to W. Silent. I am 20yds to the NW. Young very noisy, heads in and out. Some imm. screams, mostly harsh cheeps. 4:12- from W, I feed, to W. 4:16- from W, I feed, to N asps, to S, asps, to E. 4:17- across to W. 4:18- from W, I feed, to 10 yds W, out of sight to W. 4:28 - from W, I feed, to NE. Young noisier than just before feeding, few "screams" 4:30- from E, I feed, to W. 4:31- from W to N asp, to nest, I feed to hungier, to E. 4:32 from E, I feed, to E. 4:33.5- same. 4:35- across to W. 4:36- from W. to#1 feed, to N asp, to E. 4:45- from W, 2 feeds, to W. 4:49- from W, I feed, to W. 4:51.5- from W, 2 feeds, to N asp, to W. 4:55 same as 4:49. 4:58 - from W, I feed, to N asp, to SE, around to SW 5:00 P.M., I leave. The noteworthy features today are the fact that the young have their heads out (one bird at a time) most of the time, and that they are starting to make more adult noises, i.e., screams. The parents seem a bit more nervous, and in some cases (#1) feeding seems to have slowed a little. I don't think #s 1,3, and 8 will stay in the nest much longer- there can't be much room, in fact. Both parents are active at all nests except #1 of those checked today.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.V. daggetti 150 Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. June 28 (cont'd.) screams continue. 5:17 - in pine 50yds SW, then to SW dead asp again, back to pines. Attending to young #s 1 and 2? I don't see them. 5:25. SW-1 - 40yds W. 5:30 P.M. I leave. On the way I stopped at a clump of mt. mahogany 75yds W where n?d often feeds, but I did not see either of the "out" young there, nor even n?d in that few minutes. To sum up today so far: I saw two birds leave nest #1, and at least one is still in it. N?d showed great concern over the first that I saw come out, much less over the 2nd. The parent seemed to try, successfully, to lead the young up and to the west. In the meantime, feeding at the nest continued at the usual pace at times, but with some long interruptions, probably while n?d was attending to the other young. N?d seemed so excited when the first young left that it gave a tattoo on an N.asp. If is a pity I could not be at #8 and #3 also, as I feel sure some of their young left too. At #3 feeding was continuing at the usual rate, both parents participating. I had only an hour at this nest, and I have no way at all of being sure that any young left. Those from #1 made themselves completely inconspicuous within 10 /less than an hour after their exit. They seemed perfectly able to care for themselves, and were quite large - except for the grey head and slightly shorter tail, they looked like adults. It is clear that the semi-mixed pair, n?d and d at #1, have brought at least 3 and probably the

This is more remarkable in that n#d bore the burden alone for the last few days. The evidence seems to indicate strong fertility and viability of dxn. mixtures. 6:40 P.M. -to #12, briefly. I could hear the young plainly, and could see a head sticking part out for a few seconds. 12 One of the parents came to feed, fed once, screamed, and went off*. I would guess these young are about 22-23 days old. 3 7:48 P.M. At #3 - B from nest or by nest to asp, screams until 7:51; then to nest, in. I can hear faint murmurs of young as B goes in. It is now dusk; the sky is mostly overcast, and it is still windy. At 8:13 it is too dark at the nest to see, so I go over to #6 and look in with mirror and flashlight. As soon as the light shines in the young start cheeping. Then I get a good glimpse of the bright red head of an adult which is roosting on the nest. Now the adult starts a harsh scold, and I leave, 8:17 P.M. 6 June 29 -4:20 A.M. - no ice, but great snakes, is it cold! Weather clear. A few very brief cries from young, and an occasional head well out. I heard a few distant yelps and what I think were cries of #1 and/or #2. 1 4:46 sun in treetops - tattoo from SW; again twice. 4:50- loud cheeps few screams from nest. 4:52- quiet; now noisy again. 5:10 - Walking around about 75 yds SW, I scare up one of the young in some small pines - it screams a few times, then sits quietly.

I decided to collect them now, while I had a chance. I got n?d, and these 2 young. Later, I got another young bird about 40 yds S. of nest #1, which is probably of that brood. The nest is completely empty, with a few remnants of what look like chitinous insect parts. 8 Next I went to #8; the nest was empty, but both parents were around, screaming. This was a fine chance to collect both with certainty, which I

573 AT Hewett PPPI [illegible] What do you mean by 'injured'? I don't know, I suppose. It's something like that. The first time it happened was when I was playing for the school team and got hurt badly. I think it must have been about a year ago. I remember it very well because I thought I was going to die. It was so sudden and unexpected. I had just come out of my house after school one day when I saw two boys running towards me from the other side of the road. They were shouting something at me but I couldn't hear what they were saying because it was too noisy outside. Then suddenly there was this huge crash behind me and everything went black for a moment before I woke up lying on the ground with blood all over my face and arms. At first I didn't know what had happened until someone ran over to help me and told me that one of the boys had fallen off his bicycle onto the pavement just where I was standing. He must have been moving quite fast because he hit the kerb very hard and broke his leg in several places. The other boy tried to get up but couldn't so we both called an ambulance which arrived within minutes and took him away to hospital immediately. I stayed there with my parents until he was taken into surgery then went home again feeling rather shaken by the whole experience although nothing too serious had actually happened to anyone involved except perhaps for some minor injuries sustained during the fall itself which wouldn't require any special treatment anyway since these sorts of things usually heal quite quickly without needing much attention at all.

Between #8 and #1 I noted at least 2 more young and I'm fairly certain I heard an adult. As I had no way of knowing the origin of these young I did not collect any. They were in small pines, tapping and screaming occa- sionally. They are certainly well-camouflaged when quiet. 8:45- on way to #3, about 1/2 way there from Twin Spring, a perfect male nuchalis came up to a pine about 10 ft. high right by me. Up and down the tree he worked, trunk and branches, gathering big ants. Then he flew off to the S. 9:00 A.M. Parents around scolding, especially A. One young out, hops and flops about in nest tree, then flutters out and flies 75 yds NW to the other side of the meadow. Both parents near nest now.

Then about 30 yds above and W. of #6, I saw a dsn working up and down a little pine just as I saw a nuchalis do this morning. Then it went to a well-drilled mt. mahogany and either drank sap or gathered insects.

Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 30 (cont'd.) - 7:59 A.M. - B to nest, sits at entrance, looks at it and looks around; over to branch, hitches down, taps. Silent. 8:06- adult scream NW of nest. 9:08- yelps, cheeps of young (not from nest). 8:15-more yelps; as I walk toward nest, B comes to nest tree, starts screaming. From the S. asps (10yds S.) a young bird flutters out across 75yds to big pines to the NW - same place one went yes- terday. Now both A and B up, screaming at me; A has insect food, B perhaps plant food. Both fly to W, after working around the usual perching places - branch by nest, asp 6ft away, small dead asp. 8:22-now A back to branch by nest, screams at me, taps, preens; goes to nest, looks at entrance, back to branch. 8:25- B from E., with insects; both scream; squks; A to E.; B still screaming, undoubtedly at me, goes to nest, looks at it, head not in; over to asp, continues screaming. Ants and flies at nest entrance. Juv. flickers in the asps are ignored. Now B over to W, few more screams. 8:37-About 100yds W- screams, yelps, cheeps- young being attended close by - I saw adult but couldn't see young. 8:42- same. 8:50 - More of same noises-now I see B feed a young bird about 8 ft up in a juniper -then B to mt. mahog. close by, works. 8:53 -Yelps from near #6- maybe young are out there; I had better go and see. As I go, A comes up a few feet away, screams at me without dropping the insects in its bill. 9:00 A.M.-at #6 - 9:01- young in nest are fed; loud cheeps, heads in and out. 9:04 d. from E., I feed, to f. asp, off. 9:05-dzn to f. asp, then out of sight; 9:08-d. to f.asp, to nest, I feed, to E. Much mt.mahogany to E.

For the first time that I can recall, there was a 16min. gap on the feeding - 10:45 to 11:01 - and n. was away for 32 minutes. It could easily have been n., therefore, that I saw near Twin Spring yesterday. Also, n. seemed nervous, and was very noisy. 1:00 P.M., at #12. Between 1:00 and 1:12, the young were fed 3 times, twice by d,, and then by down. on the 2nd time d went in the nest and came out with debris, gliding over to a nearby pine to drop it as before. I saw both parents at the nest together, with the usual squks. The young were cheeping, and I could see a head out occasionally: these young must be at least 23-24 days old. 1:20 - at #14, at Twin spring. A d,, not down, to nest; goes in, out to a pine 15 yds away, probably cleaning nest. 1:22 - d. back to nest, hitching up from below, in; out again with debris, to a different pine in the opposite direction. The young are cheeping, and a head is usually out. Those also look at least 23 or 24 days old. This pair then, is d. x down. 1:40 - to #3; I climb and look in; all I can see is a mass of ants on the bottom feeding on excrement. Nevertheless, B comes up and screams from N. asps.

I did not see or hear young, but both A and B came up screaming, and carried and gathered food, so I presume the young were being cared for still. 4:50-A spot check showed that young were still in #6. They are audible for at least 100yds. 5:07- d. feeding young in #14; heads in, sun in nest.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft, 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. June 30 (cont'd) 7:40 P.M. at #12- tapping- cries of young, head out (adult?) drawn back, 7:43. Head out sporadically for next 1/2 min - I can't tell whether adult or young; I am sure of a young once, and almost sure of an adult other times. 7:50 tapping, then silence. 7:55 last burst of faint cries from young, 8:15 P.M.- too dark at nest to see; I leave. I forgot to mention that when I looked in nest #3 I could see light from a slit or crack to the right side. Possibly this serves as an air vent, but I don't remember seeing such in the other nests. The fact that a young bird was vigorously attacked by both parents at #6 is a fairly sure sign that it was not one of theirs even though it was so close to their nest. This shows the futility of trying to be certain of the source of a young bird by its position It is possible that some young came out of #6 today, but I don't think so. Some are sure to come out tomorrow, judging by their actions today. Unfortunately there is no way of counting the young other than going in the nest after them before they leave. Since they seem to depart over a period of two days, possibly even three, the only way to count them as they came out would be to watch the nest every moment of the two days, which is im- possible for one person. The young can easily fly out of sight as soon as they come out. July 1 - 4:00 A.M.- at #6- young cheeping; still too dark right at nest to see. Tattoos heard in the direction of the former- nest #3, other-birds noisy.

I could hear young cheeping at #11. At 10:30 I arrived at #7 with Dom Salemii from the Willow Creek Ranch. I collected n, d, and dzn in that order as they came to the nest. Then we nailed cloth over the entrance and cut the tree down and sawed out the section with the nest. I chloroformened the young and opened the nest through the top. There were 5 young in it, obviously not ready to leave, but well feathered. Eggs had hatched in this nest 24 days ago; perhaps the growth of the young was retarded, or perhaps these hatched a few days later. At any rate, on June 8 this nest had 6 eggs and 2 newly hatched young; It is perhaps sig- nificant that 5 young, the same number as the usual clutch, is all that hatched or survived.

Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. July 2 (cont'd) 1:45 - at #6 - a young d. still in nest, cheeping and screaming. D. spots me from tree (asp) by f. asp, and screams for several minutes, finally flying E. At f. asp are 2 young, d, dsn, sitting quietly. They must be from #6 considering how a "foreign" juvinal was repeatedly chased yesterday. Both young are feeding, 1:58. 2:10 - & juvinal dsn flies off 30 yds to SE. Now d. to f. asp, 6 2:11; silent; feeds by juv. d, feeds it once, soft squks or cheeps; d. to E, past nest, where a young d. is still 1/2 outing. 2:22 -d, W, asp by f. asp, f.asp below juv. d, feed it once with faint cheep, no begging from juv.; then d. away, screams; not to nest. Juv. d. still feeding on its own. 2:28 d>n from NE, asp by f. asp, gathers insects. Faint squks from juv. d; d>n to juv. d. on f. asp, feeds it; juv. d. right back to own feeding, d>n to E. The cheeping nest young are (is?) ignored- 2:30 - I leave. I now walked over and searched W. of #3 - no sign of saps. Then I went to nest #3, squeaked, no response of any kind. Finally, I went to the mt. mahogany to 3 the E where I had so often seen them. Here one flushed silently and flew across the meadow to the W, flying so strongly I think it must have been an adult. This behavior contrasts strongly with the past few days. On my way back to Twin Spring I again saw a perfect & nuchalis, which cannot be n. of #7 as that one was collected this morning. It flew off and my searching about for it and/or its nest yielded no results. 14 Now at #14, 3:00 P.M. No sound of young,

At #6-a few cheeps and a finger poked in the nest showed that one 6 more young, at least, is still in. D. came up to f. asp, screamed. I moved on to the #3 area, and 3 a few squeaks brought screams from B about 50 yds away. B's agitation increased as I poked around the nest, and, sure of the identification, I collected it. Now A screamed from the mt. mahogany to the E and then came up and screamed at me and was collected also. I heard cries of young E. of #6. Another search around #11 disclosed nothing. Also, there were no young in A's mt. mahogany clump. 14 8:05-at #14 -yelps from W; nest silent, no head visible. No adults seen around. 2 8:30- to nest #2, collected the parents as they came up, chopped open the nest, and took the young which will be put in formalin. I would guess they are about 10 days old, and they were very noisy and active. This was the 2nd nesting attempt of pr. #2.

I can account for at least 4 young out of this, nest, 2 dsn and 2 d., and I don't doubt that there was a 5th. I forgot to mention that when I collected the dsn at #2, it had in its beak several red ants and a couple of small winged insects. July 4 - Departed before dawn for Berkeley.

Howell, T.R. 1950 Sphyrapicus varius nuchalis Dry Lake, 15 mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia April 28 - 5:40 A.M. Overcast. Sapsuckers were heard tattooing from all around the lake, and occasional yelps were heard, apparently when two birds came together. I once saw three together, and there was a chase. I guess there are about four pairs, perhaps more, right around the lake. All that I have seen are typical nuchalis. The tattoos and calls do not sound the least bit different from those of the daggetti that I heard so often last summer. At about 6:30 A.M. the tattoos just about ceased; only very occasionally was one heard. The tattooing birds (males?) are showing interest in nest sites, as they pause and look in when there happens to be a hole in the tree near where their noise-making is going on. At 7:45 A.M., at Round Lake (south end) about 1/2 mi. N. of Dry Lake, I came across 2 sapsuckers (nuchalis) about 30 yds apart, each in the top of a dead fir tree. One tattooed more often than the other, but when the 2nd one tattooed the first almost always answered. This went on until just after 8:00 A.M., when the 2nd bird

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.v.nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia April 28 (cont'd). flew off; the first paused, tattooed once, and flew off also. A few minutes later I found two more birds not far away-possibly the same two - in just such a talking contest. I got close enough to see that one, at least, raised its crown feathers as it tattooed. At 9:15, at the north end of Dry Lake, I heard tattooing; suddenly four nuchalis appeared within a few feet of each other "crests"raised, and squawking loudly. There was some tattooing, and much bobbing up and down (= towards and away from the branch). Two birds would approach each other on opposite sides of a branch, "crests"up, and squawking. Then one would fly to another branch, and the other 3 would soon follow. No actual contact was seen- it did not seem to be an attempt to drive one another away. One bird was lost to sight, and 3 remained. one of these was in perfect plumage, all marks distinct, and the other two seemed to be first-year birds, with many light-tipped feathers in the pectoral area. These two latter

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton British Columbia April 28 (cont'd) tattooed back-and forth on branches of the same tree, the other bird sat by silently. I could not be sure of the sexes of any. Then one of the younger birds flew off, and the other remained tattooing. At 9:55 A.M., it is still there, tattooing, although light rain and hail has come up. I do not see [illegible] or hear any of the others. 10:00 A.M. - I see the "old" bird now - it is about 8ft above the tattooing one, on the same branch. The lower one tattoos about every 45 sec.; in the middle of the tattoo, the other bird gives a brief "roll" of [illegible] its own - quite noticeable, always while the other is tattooing. Between 10:04 and 10:13, one tattooed 20 times. The other bird mostly preened, only once or twice giving a roll, and once while the other was not tattooing. On about the 18th time, there were a couple of tattoos from near by. Between tattoos, the performer just sits. At 10:37 another bird flew up nearby. One of the two flew over towards it, and suddenly there were all four, squawking and chasing. This lasted only a few seconds, and then all was quiet except for some light tattooing.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia. April 28, (cont'd.) At 10:50 there was another uproar of squawks involving at least 3 birds. The "old" one seemed to be chasing the younger bird, perhaps a F? Then all moved south about 100 yds, where more tattooing and sporadic squawks and yelps are heard. Perhaps these are all males. Quite marked bobbing up and down was noted in both birds men- tioned above, when perched lengthwise or crosswise. 11:00 A.M. Two are now about 50 yds apart, one in a big pine, one in a dead aspen. The "pine" bird tattoos louder and oftener. 11:17- a well-marked bird flies up to a dead asp about 10yds from the other sapsucker there. The latter is rather blurry about the head stripes - probably a bird of the year, but perhaps an intermediate. 11:20- yelps - now all three together, behaving just as described before. There are 2 "adults" one "imm." (the latter shows some whitish on throat- probably a F). One ad. chases the F? a short way, stops, [illegible] it and other ad. squawk at each other close together-one goes to a dead stub, tattoos; F? off to some yds north; one ad. follows then other, much squawking, yelping, tattoo.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia. April 28 (cont'd) - both "ads" again engage each other in noise making. An exchange of tattoos - one approaches the other, then flies over to pine-squawds- all four birds there, much "crest-raising, bobbing, squawking - can't tell which is after which. At 11:40 there are only two birds visible - one an "ad.," tattooing on a dead stub and a ♀? in a dead asp about 10 ft. away. After a while the ♀? flies down and out of sight. screams and yelps are heard from time to time. The "ad." is still sitting at the top of the dead stub, tattooing occasionally. I leave, 12:00. The trees around here are not much worked by sapsuckers; perhaps those here are recently arrived. I think they are just [illegible] establishing territories and choosing mates, with nest construction not yet begun. I have not yet seen any ruber; there is a high ridge running north- south just to the west of here and that may act as a barrier. Some streams run through it, so a few should drift through.

Here I heard and saw at least 3 pairs of sapsuckers, all nuchalis They were not very active; the sun had not yet reached this area, and it was very cold. 7:15 A.M. - Back at cabin; I heard tattooing right by the cabin, and 3 birds appeared - yelping, squawking, crests raised, bobbing, hitching around and chasing each other. The pattern seems to be this: one bird starts tattooing, and is answered by one or two others nearby. This goes on for several minutes. Then one flies over to another, and a third may join them. There is a great deal of yelping and squawking, perhaps some tattooing, and bobbing up and down with crests raised. They hitch around branches or the trunk towards each other. Any one may be the apparent aggressor during this. If one leaves to another tree, the other two usually follow. This goes on for a minute or so, and then they separate, find a good resonant limb, and begin tattooing again. I have not yet been able to distinguish a ♀ for sure. No copulation attempts have been seen.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.u. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia April 29 (cont'd.). About 16 mi. N. of Dry Lake, on the road to Merritt, I noted a nuchalis in a clump of aspens by the road. [illegible] In this clump was a dead aspen stub with a partial excavation, and some chips lying underneath it. The hole is about 12 ft. up. On the way back to Dry Lake, I stopped at this same place -- it is 18 mi. N., rather than 16. A sapsucker tattooed, another flew up, there were squawks and bobbing, and one flew away. I did not get a good look at both, but the one that remained was nuchalis. It flew to the small, upper branches of and aspen and fed there. I suppose a little sap was running, as buds were showing. At no time did either bird go to the excavation previously mentioned. This observation covered about 1/2 hr. Back at Dry Lake at about 2:00 P.M. -- all very quiet, no tattoos. At the north end of the lake, about 3:30, I heard yelps, and saw one sapsucker working at feeding on a cottonwood. A similar observation was made at the south end of the lake. All was fairly quiet, except for Robins, after the sun went out of the valley. I did not hear a single tattoo or squawk.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Tulameen, 17 mi. W. of Princeton, B.C. April 30 - Arrived here 8:10 A.M. - clear, sunny. Heavy frost last night. In a large aspen grove are 3 typical nuchalis - at least one is definitely a ♀ , as I can see white on the throat. This ♀ is definitely tattooing. The other two have all-red throats, and must surely be ♂s; they too are tattooing. I saw the ♀ tattoo several times, then fly over to a ♂ which yelped. Then there were squawks, bobbing, yelps; a male flew at the ♀ , and she flew off; the other male came up and chased the ♂ , more squawks. Then I saw the ♀ tattoo a few times; a ♂ flew up to her and began bobbing and squawking, crest raised. She immediately did the exact same thing. The the other male flew up; the ♀ left, the ♂ s squawked at each other then one went over to the ♀ , the other followed, more squawks. Then a quiet period for a minute or so, and tattooing start and yelping start again. The ♂ s must be tattooing also, as I have heard 2 of the three doing it at once. Most of this courting goes on about 20-40 ft up in the aspens, with frequent x-wise perching, over a radius of about 20 yds; they may go out over 100 yds, though.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Tulameen, 17 mi. W. of Princeton, B.C. April 30 (cont'd) - Now they are arranged in a triangle about 15 yds to a side, the same height - about 40 ft up in aspens; one ♀ tattoos, ♂ tattoos; same ♂ tattoos (loudest), other ♂ tattoos; then ♀. Loud ♂ tattoos, other answers. Other ♂ flies over closer to ♀, to a more resonant branch, tattoos loudly, ♀ tattoos. Both ♂'s tattoo back and forth. ♀ flies over to an asp about 50 yds away; 1st ♂ follows; squawks. Now both back to original point - ♂, ♀, on opposite sides of small branch, bobbing, squawking, crown feathers up. [For brevity, I shall refer to this behavior pattern just as

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. V. nuchalis Tulameen, 17 mi. W. of Princeton, B.C. April 30 (cont'd.) right along the Tulameen River, I found a typical nuchalis doing some excavating in a poplar about 12 in. in diameter and about 8-10 ft up. It seemed to be at a fresh digging on the north side of the tree, but when it saw me it shifted around to the south. I could see it getting its head part in and then coming out, casting chips from its bill. It saw me, and flew a few yards away silently. I waited 20 minutes, and the bird did not return. I left for fear of causing it to abandon the site. I went back through Princeton and down the Hope road for 29 miles to the Falls Auto Court. By this time it was 3:15 and no sapsuckers were calling; this looks like a favorable spot, though. 29 mi. S. of Princeton, B.C. Max! - No sapsuckers heard from 5:20 to 6:00 A.M. The sun was just coming over the mountains at 5:30, but it is an overcast day. At 6:00 I heard tattoos, yelps, and squawks from some poplars, and saw two sapsuckers - they were against the light, and I couldn't tell which race. A few minutes later I located one tapping (not tattooing) in a small fir; it was typical nuchalis. More tattooing was heard, of the exact same rhythm,

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. y. muchalis 27 mi. S. of Princeton, B.C. May 1 (cont'd.) but perceptibly slower. This turned out to be a Williamson sapsucker, S. thyroideus. Several were heard. Their calls seem to come at slower intervals, too. Farther down the road towards Hope, about 33 mi. S., I again heard tattoos and yelps and saw a sapsucker in the top of a big dead tree over 100 yds away. with 10x binocular I could see that it was nuchalis or close to it. the black pectoral band was visible, but the bird was at such an angle that I couldn't see the head striping well. Then it flew off out of sight. [Cowan later collected thyroideus here] I returned to Dry Lake in the afternoon, where it rained steadily. May 2 (Dry Lake) 5:30 A.M. D.S.T. (see Journal) The sky was light at this hour, mostly overcast. No tattooing. At 6:00, a few yelps were heard across the lake; at 6:30, again. I saw a nuchalis fly from a poplar to a fir tree, where it was lost to sight. I went over to this spot about 15 min. later, and a nuchalis flew out of a poplar to a dead tree close by and tattooed twice, then flew off. These are the only tattoos I heard this morning, as of 7:30. Perhaps the sapsuckers are just as depressed by wet, gray mornings as I am. My impression is that in the

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, f. 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 2 (cont'd) past few mornings they were most active around 8:00 A.M. (now 7:30 A.M. D.S.T.), when the sun was just beginning to shine fully into this little valley in which the lake lies. Tattoos were heard from dawn until then, though. At 8:50 A.M., in the poplar grove at the north end of the lake, I came upon a nuchalis beginning to excavate a nesting hole in a big poplar, about 10-12 ft up. The cavity was just being started, and is only about bill-deep. At 10:45 I found another, in a poplar clump at the SW corner of the lake. This one is about 20-25 ft up in a big poplar, and my attention was attracted to it by a soft whine in response to my squeaking. This is the spot where the disturbed bird tattooed earlier this morning. A typical nuchalis was working. Counting the April 29 bird by Tulameen, this makes 3 nuchalis nests in the early stages of excavation. Of course, it may be that these will be abandoned and new ones started; often a nest tree shows several "false start" holes. I returned to the 8:50 nest site at 1:00 and waited until 3:00, but the bird did not appear. Practically all this time it was raining or hailing, and both continued throughout the afternoon. I did not hear or see a sapsucker.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.v. nuchalis Dry Lake ft, 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 3 - 5:30 A.M. - Overcast, drizzling; no sound of sapsuckers. 6:00 A.M. - same. 7:45 - Rain stopped suddenly, sun came out. At the SSW corner of the lake, I heard a sapsucker tattoo lightly close by. After standing quietly I located a bird at a hole about 25 ft up in a poplar. This bird certainly looks like a ♂; no trace of white on the throat. He began to work around in the hole, sometimes going all in except his tail! I couldn't hear any sounds of tapping, though, or see him removing any chips. Mt. Chickadees came up very close, noisy, but were ignored. A light tattoo came from nearby; again. No response. Then the ♂ yelped several times. After a few minutes more, with lots of preening, he flew off a few feet. In less than 5 min. he was back, poking in the hole again. Then he hitched up above it and tapped; then to a dead branch stub 6 in above and tattooed. Back to the hole he went. Tattoo from nearby - yelps from ♂. More tattoos. A few minutes later a ♀ (whitish on upper throat) came over, with squawking by both birds. Then both flew off, but not far. This may not be a real nest; I looked in vain for fresh chips, or any kind, under the tree. Of course, rain may have washed them away, but

9.7 /13/2011 On my first day of school in the fall of 2010, I was excited to meet new friends and start learning about different cultures. The school had a variety of clubs and activities that interested me, including art, music, and drama. I remember walking into the classroom for my first period of English class with excitement mixed with nervousness. My teacher introduced herself as Mrs. Johnson, who seemed friendly enough but still carried an air of authority. She explained that we would be working on various projects throughout the semester, starting with reading a novel together as a group. As we settled into our seats, I noticed several other students around me who also appeared eager to begin their academic journey at this new institution. One girl sitting next to me turned out to have similar interests in literature and storytelling, which led us to bond over shared passions during breaks between classes.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. y. nuchalis Dry Lake ft., 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 3 (cont'd.) I am still uncertain. This "nest" is about 150 yds. S. of the supposed one found in the SW corner yesterday. I went to this one for a few minutes, but did not see or hear a sapsucker. Walking farther north, I paused and heard a tattoo just overhead. Sapsuckers seem to tattoo when one intrudes on their territory (close to the nest?). I did not find a nest here, but could easily have missed it. The bird I saw was nuchalis. Back at my cabin (SE corner of lake) at 11:00 I heard tapping and saw a nuchalis working 25-30 ft up in a poplar right behind the garage of Mr. L.T. Smith, who owns the cabins here. The bird was getting its head all the way in. 11:25 Bird at the "nest" - looks like a σ. He is now getting at least 2/3 in. Every few moments he stops to preen, or just sit. 11:26 - φ arrives, alight above σ; squawks; σ leaves, gliding off with a rattle (described April 29). φ looks in several times, begins tapping around just inside. Now she gets 2/3 in; head feathers are mussed at each withdrawal. At 11:45 She stops work, preens, and then sits. 11:50- scratches, preens. 11:51 - starts work again. 12:04 σ arrives, alights above φ, who glides off with a rattle. σ then down to hole, starts work. This sequence of events is almost identical with that of the previous exchange of places.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.v. nuchalis Dry Lake, f't., 15mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 3 (cont'd) There is a "false start" hole about 4 ft below the one now being worked on. 1:40 P.M. - ♂ at nest site at north end of lake, tapping, dropping chips. This is a shallow hole so far, only bill-deep. 1:45-♂ shifts around to left, to a false start hole a few inches away, taps in it, then to another a few inches farther left, then another few taps - suddenly flies down to ground, away. Yelps heard in dis- tance. 1:58 - Yelps; ♀ (for sure) to nest site begins tapping at it vigorously, 2:00 P.M. 2:12- ♂ to site, ♀ around to other side of tree; ♂ to left and below site, leaves; ♀ hitches back to site, stopping to look at the two false starts, begins excavating again. 2:26 ♀ leaves; ♂ not in sight, no sound heard. Back at cabin, at 4:00 P.M., 3 sapsuckers were seen and heard in the usual squawk-chase. Intermittent tattooing was heard during and after. Sporadic observation of the nest site by the garage from 5:00 - 7:00 P.M. did not reveal a sapsucker. This may prove too busy a spot for them, but I hope not. May 4 - Another drizzly morning. 9:15- at nest site at SSW corner. Several tattoos and anskers were heard close by, and 2 birds seen, but 20 min watch failed to find one at the nest. I moved to the SW corner site; at 9:35, one which appeared to be a ♂ came up and began works. This hole is a little over head deep.

Howell, T.A. 1950 S.v. nuchalis Dry Lake, ft., 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 4 (cont'd.) The bird worked, with pauses for rest and preening, until 10:20, when loud yelps were heard, possibly from the working bird. He continued to work; another flew up close to him and squawked softly, then flew off. The working bird paused, then flew off also. I left. At 11:00, one of the birds was working vigorously at the nest site back of the garage. At about 2:30, I located another nest site- the fifth around the lake - it is on the west central side, in a poplar and (I think) cotton- wood grove on a little promontary about 25 yds from the main growth. In a big, dead cottonwood, about 40 ft up, a sapsucker seemed to be just starting a nest. The hole was only about 1/2 in deep, and as big around as a quarter, as near as I could estimate. Every so often it would tap around on either side of the hole, as if testing the quality of the wood. In about 10 min. I heard two series of yelps, and another bird flew over to the nest site from about 50 yds away; there were some squawks, and the first bird glided off with a rattle. The second looked around at some other, old holes close by, then started in to work. As in all nest sites seen so far, both birds seem to share equally in the work. At 4:30 P.M., over about 200 yds east of the NE corner nest, I heard tattooing.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, f't. 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B. C. May 4 (cont'd.) squawks, and saw one nuchalis It was tattooing in the very top of a dead pine. Perhaps there is another nest in this area; I did not have time to check it today. Again, work on the nest by the garage seems to have halted at least by 5:00 P.M. At 7:30 P.M., still no bird working on it, or seen nearby. May 5 - 5:20 A.M.- heard tattooing. & 5:30-again. 6:00 - Bird at nest by garage, half in, working. Tattooing heard about 100 yds west of this, and a bird seen. Nest not located. At the nest site at the SSW corner, a bird was at the hole, sitting perfectly quietly. Tattooing and yelps heard at SW corner site. Between this and the central western site, I heard repeated tattooing and saw one bird doing it, (a ?, I'm almost sure), but could not locate a nest. Yelps and screams from the central western site indicate that it was being worked on - a bird was seen in the top of the tree. At the NW corner, about 9:00, there seemed to be a territorial dispute which raged over a couple of hundred yds., all south of the known nest site of one pair. At least 3 birds, and two of these males, were in- volved. All was just as described often before - repeated tattooing, answers,

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.v. nuchalis Dry Lake ft. 15mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 5 (cont'd), then one bird to another, loud squawks, bobbing, hitching about, then one off to another tree, other(s) follow. This went on for about 1/2 hr. and may have continued. An extremely light snow was falling during most of this. 3:15 P.M. - Bird (?) at nest behind garage - working - all in but tail. 5:00 P.M - 6:30: bird not at hole; they seem to quit working by 5:00, if not before. Intervals from 7:00- 8:10 P.M. - bird not at nest. May 6 - Day clear early, clouding up by 8:30 A.M. A few tattoos heard in the early hours. Around 9:00, I walked up to the SSW corner nest, and the ♀ (white chin plainly seen) "challenged" me with several loud tattoos on a dead branch about 3 ft above the nest. The the ♂ appeared opposite her on the branch, there were squawks, and the ♀ flew off with a rattle. The ♂ seemed much disturbed by my presence and soon flew away. I forgot to mention yesterday that several screams were heard at the NW corner - and central western sites. Screams have been heard much more rarely than yelps. May 7 - Tattoo heard at 5:15 A.M. See journal for weather. When a high wind was blowing, I noticed a sapsucker at the nest site behind the garage clinging

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.v. nuchalis Dry Lake, f., 15 mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 7 (cont'd.) rather desparately to the side of the tree opposite the wind. Apparently the wind (about 20 mi./hr in gusts) was too strong to permit work on the nest exposed to it. At the NE corner nest site a bird was working about y3 of the way in. May 8 - Overcast at 5:30; no sapsucker heard. At 6:20 I was down near the south end of Round Lake (the next one north) and heard several tattoos. Then, almost right over my head, a sapsucker flew to a poplar; there were squawks, and one flew off with a rattle, or rather glided off. This is really a sort of half glide- half-flutter, and it and the rattling call seem to go together. The bird that re- mained, a ♂, was nervous at my presence, and flew to another poplar a few feet away which had been freshly drilled for feeding. His nervousness was well founded, for I collected him then. As seemed likely, there was a nest site at the first poplar - about 18 ft up was a hole that looked about bill-deep. I waited, and in a few minutes the ♀ returned, alighting on a small branch 3 ft above the nest site Here she preened for about 10 minutes, and finally hitched haltingly down to the nest site and began to work. I collected her too. The ♀ seems to be a bird of the

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, B.C. May 8 (cont'd.) year, with many yellowish tips to the pectoral band feathers and the head striping not as distinct as in the ♂. My im- pression is that the ♂s have a more distinctly marked pattern than the ♀s. Both birds showed what I believe to be the start of a brood patch, although their gonads did not seem much enlarged; the oviduct looked rather enlarged, but not the ovary to any great extent. The birds with the nest site behind the garage were at work at 6:00 A.M., around noon, and last seen there at about 3:30. From 4:30 on no bird was seen there. At 4:40 I saw one [illegible] feeding in a very large poplar, about 40 ft up. This was behind my cabin, about 75 yds from the garage nest. I watched for 20 min, but the bird did not leave or otherwise reveal a nest site. 29 mi. S. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 9 - see journal for account of the countryside. At about 5:00 P.M. I was up on an open slope, somewhat burnt over, with lots of large dead stubs, and I heard a sapsucker screaming. It was a perfectly typical robber up in the top of a tall dead tree, about 50 ft high at least. The bird was tapping in one spot, possibly a nest site, and screaming

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. Various ssp. 29 mi. S. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 9 (cont'd.) - Occasionally. After about 15 min it flew off to another dead stub, then off to a clump of live pines, high up. I had a fine view of it, in sunlight from a favorable angle, and there is no doubt that it was typical ruber. Perhaps this race prefers the coniferous areas and leaves the aspen groves to nuchalis; we shall see. May 10 - On top of hill opposite Falls Auto Court, 6:20 A.M. - heard several screams, could not see bird. At 6:30 I walked north along the top of the ridge overlooking the road, and a sapsucker screamed and then yelped from a dead pine top about 60-75 ft up. It looked at me nervously (I was directly below) and then tattooed weakly once or twice. In a minute or so another bird flew over to it, they squawked, and the second one flew to another dead tree, same height, about 40 yds away, where it seemed to be picking insects (ants?) off the tree. Both these birds were nuchalis or very close to it; I could see distinct head striping even against the light gray sky. Then I heard distinct tattooing to the south, and 200 yds away, at the top of a burnt stub 40 ft high, was a typical ruber. He (it) tattooed about 5 times, without answer. Then it flew in a wide arc

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 27 mi. S. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 10 (cont'd.) to the top of a dead tree 60-75 ft high about 400 yds away, and then I lost sight of it. A Flicker alighted on its tattooing stub then flew. 7:15 A.M. Farther northwest on the ridge, I heard loud, repeated tattooing and came upon a bird some 20 ft up in a dead fir, on a broken branch about 8" long. This bird is, I believe, an intermediate, and I had a perfect profile view against a green background. It has a short white post-ocular stripe and a thin pectoral band, but the auricular patch and the black separating the crown from the nape were almost obliterated by red. Of course, it can be a very red nuchalis. At 7:22 the bird flew down a draw, out of sight. 7:30 - loud repeated tattooing by 2 birds; I began to hear squawks; one then flew by, closely followed by a typical ♀ nuchalis. Then both flew away. 7:37 - tattooing again - from the ♂ in possibly > r. - on a dead lodge- pole pine. Screams and a sort of scolding were heard in the distance. Now he flies to another dead tree 100 yds. away, presumably More tattooing - I find the same bird ♀ at a lodge-pole again - answering tattoos - less often and not as loud. - from about 50 yds. away. Finally a bird yelps in the near distance and he flies over to it. Squawks. Then I see a ♂ fly by to the top of a death stub 30 ft. high - she tattoos once -

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. Varius ssp. 29 mi. S. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 10 (cont'd) barely audible - then flies off. 8-8:20 - silent. then tattoos begin again. Finally I catch sight of a typical group of nuchalis - 4 birds, then 3, and the same tattoo - get together - squawks - one off - others follow - as has been described before, but here it is in the open slope dead pine and fir country. At 9:15 I heard tattooing on another slope farther south. it went on for a few minutes, then stopped for 15 min. intervals. This went on for an hour. Finally I found a male nuchalis tattooing loudly on a lodge- pole pine (dead). He flew off, and I heard yelps in the near distance, 10:15. (Presumably) this same bird continued to tattoo in this area, often from the same tree, for another half hour, but with no response. At 11:00 I came out on the open slope where I saw ruber yesterday and earlier this morning. I heard a few screams, and a ruber appeared, flying over to a lodge- pole and tattooing at a height of about 15 ft., precisely as the nuchalis do. The woods are full of these dead, leaning, lodge- pole pines (I will call them just l-p's) from which most of the branches are gone, as well as the bark. Little stubs project out an inch or so where the branches were, are these are favored for tattooing. The bird leans

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 29 mi. S. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 10 (cont'd) over from the bole on which it is perched and gives a tattoo on the branch-base stub. The ruber then flew to some live Doug Firs, and another sapsucker flew out from where the ruber had gone in. I got only a glimpse of this bird, but it seemed to be nuchalis or close to it. I heard no sound from the sapsuckers. After about 5 min. of working from tree to tree, a ruber (same one?) came out and flew to the top of a very high dead Fir, screamed, flew to another, and I lost sight of it. This obser- vation was from 11:00 - 11:30. From this morning's evidence, there are at least 2 pairs and one possibly unmated ? nuchalis in the immediate area, and at least one ruber. Territories do not seem to be definitely fixed as yet, and it seems very un- likely that nest construction has been started yet, unless the ruber has a nest. In the afternoon I went to Copper Creek and the area behind Tower's Ranch-Grill (see Journal), but did not hear or see a sapsucker. At 7:45 P.M. I went up to the ruber terri- tory above here and waited until 8:30, but there was no sight or sound of sapsuckers. May 11 - 5:30 A.M.- on top of ridge opposite Falls Auto Court; heard screams first at this time, then yelps. The screamer was off in the

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 11 (cont'd) top of a dead fir, and I could tell little about its color. The yelper was close enough though, so I could see it was nuchalis. It flew over towards the other, and both flew out of sight into the woods. At 5:40, tattooing began over in the area where I saw 2 pairs of nuchalis yesterday. The sapsuckers were quiet until 6:00, when more yelps and tattoos were heard. A ruber came out of the woods into the area of dead trees. It screamed and flew over to a dead stub near me, and a typical nuchalis followed and alighted next to the ruber. There may have been soft squawks; the ruber reached over and gave the nuchalis a very gentle peck on the neck. Then the r. glided off with a rattle. There was no show of aggression, but I cannot be sure of the sexes. The n. remained until 6:20 in almost the same spot, preening and picking at the bark. I glanced away for a second, and it was out of sight, either back of the tree from me or gone. I heard yelps in the near distance. Others began to yelp and tattoo about 6:15. there seems to be a 15-20 min. period between bursts of noise-making. 6:30 - A- yelps from close by; r. appears at the dead tree, n. still there; r. glides off with a rattle. N. hitches around, looks in a couple of holes about 20 ft. up. A Flicker alights on the tree above n., who takes notice but no action. The Flicker (8)

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 29 mi. SW. of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May [illegible] 11 (cont'd) leaves. N. back behind tree. 6:37: B. appears 50 yds from "N's tree," works about just looking; flies over to a Flicker which is tapping, and seems to chase the Flicker; then it chases R. B. goes to a stub just like the one Y. is on, looks in a hole several times; then over to "N's tree," crown feathers raised. No squawks heard. N. leaves with a rattle. In a few moments, R. leaves also, in a different direction. 7:00 A.M. I am now on the north side of the tree, approximately; N. appears quietly, goes right to a hole about 5 ft from the top and 25 ft from the ground, facing west, and begins to dig. It is already deep enough for N. to get half-way in, and the bird works vigorously, pulling out beakful of chips, and then resting quietly and looking around. At 7:12, during one of these rest periods, there are yelps from down the slope. In a minute or so, N. flies off in that direction. I am fairly sure that N. is a F, as the upper throat looks whitish, but I will have to get a better look to make sure. It is, of course, certain that R. is the mate. 7:17- tattooing in the near distance, farther up the slope. 7:20- R. at nest, begins work immediately; then stops for a few minutes of preening, then starts work again. 7:35- Screams, not sure from which bird; N. up to nest by direct flight, crown feathers raised, bobs slightly squawks; R. stays at nest; N. flies off; R.

(a) (b) (c) I don't think that I have to say anything here. Now, "not" is not why we are going to be in this situation. There was a lot of news said about the fact that it will still take a while for the world to get back on its feet after all these years. It seems like there's no end in sight yet. So if you want to leave, just go ahead and do it. The more people who leave now, the better off we'll be as a society. So don't worry about them anymore. Just focus on your own life and what matters most to you right now. If someone says something that makes you feel bad or upset, try not to let it get under your skin too much. Remember that other people may have their own struggles going on too, so try to understand where they're coming from instead of judging them harshly. And finally, remember that life goes on no matter what happens around us. Keep moving forward with positivity even when things seem bleak at times because eventually everything will work out fine if we keep trying our best every single day until success comes our way again someday soon!

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, f., British Columbia May 11 (cont'd) looks around, then glides off with a rattle. 7:55 - Repeated tattoos from the same place they were heard at 7:17. 8:00- The tattooing bird, a ♂ nuchalis, flies over to a dead tree about 60 yds from the R-n. nest site. What I take to be both are there - much squawking, "crest" raising. R. chases the ♂ n. for a few feet at a time; Fn follows. A. tattoos; Fn answers; ♂ n. silent. ♂ n. flies over 50 yds, to what I presume is his territory: in a moment R. follows. Squawks - I believe ♂ n. now chases R. back to within about 80 yds of "his" nest site, to a balsam. Then they go lower to a dead stub, and R. chases ♂ n., who flies back about 50 yds to his own territory, and begins to tattoo. R. goes to the balsam and begins feeding. It has been used before, and has long streaks of yellow sap running down it. I cannot be absolutely certain of the sexes of the above birds, but I am as sure as I can be without collecting them. 8:20- R. just arrived at nest, working. The bird has a white post-ocular spot, as a few ruber have occasionally, but almost always F.s. 8:24- yelps; R. keeps on working. 8:25- more yelps; N. to nest from north, alights by R, who keeps on working. N. then off to north, alights low. R. leaves nest, flies by. Both go over to a stump, over the base of which a little stream flows

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 27 mi. SW of Princeton, Ft, British Columbia. May 11 (cont'd.) - r. down to the water; bathing or drinking? Both fly into the woods out of sight. I leave. A search for sapsuckers in the late morning in the region over Allison Pass was fruitless. 3:28 - at the f-n. nest tree. R. is working half in at a hole almost exactly opposite the one of this morning, which makes me wonder if the birds know the difference. 3:45 - r seems bothered by the sun in its eyes; shifts to shady side of tree, preens for 5 min. R. back to 2nd site for a moment, then hitches up to the top of the stub, looking in holes on the way up, pauses at the top, flies off to the woods to the west, 3:52. 4:36 - R. back to 2nd site; screams 4 times; begins work. 4:55- hitches to shady side, up to near top of trunk, off about 50 yds, then off out of my sight. At 6:00 P.M., neither bird had come to the nest tree, and I left. May 12 - I went 5 miles south on the road to Hope to a spot that to my eye is very much like the one above the Falls, and I arrived there a 5:25 A.M. A sapsucker was tattooing loudly at road level, but across the river and behind a clump of trees, and I couldn't see it. I went on up the slope, which is a gully with dead burnt fir and pine trees, and a live forest on either side. At 5:50 I heard some tattoos, but a roaring stream down the draw made it impossible to localize the sound.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. 34 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 12 (cont'd.) - Between 7:00 and 8:00 A.M. there has been much tattooing with answers and yelps and screams, but I have seen only one bird- a tattooing ♂ nuchalis. He tattooed steadily for about 5 min., and there were several screams and yelps from about 50 yds away. He finally flew over from to where these sounds had last come, alighted, glided off with a rattle, went up the slope, and began tattooing again. I did not see the 2nd bird. Tattooing began again in about 20 min, right up at the top of the ridge. I went up and found a ♂ n. at a dead l-p. In a few minutes he flew over to a small aspen (one of several nearby) which was freshly tapped. Then he went on to another l-p. and tattooed. I walked 50 yds down the slope to where most of the yelps had come. A ♂ n. flew off from a fir, and did some flycatching. Then he went back to a dead fir about 40 ft high, broken top, and went to a hole about 8 ft down from the top. In a few minutes a ♀ n. appeared (blurry head-stripes, whitish upper throat) and went to the ♂; there were soft squawks, and the ♀ hatched up to near the top of the stub and preened. As this was an obvious nesting pair, typical n., I left. The ♂ was about half-in the nest hole Farther down the slope I heard and saw several more n.'s, but there is no way to be certain that

ordered diff'd & ordering for my PE and if, I can't have most regular - (1 hr) gym play the morning after your last show and kid are you sure you'd get it? I'm sorry, if you're not a student of yourself, don't be surprised when you find out that you're just a fool. If you can't do something right now, you're not going to be able to later. It's hard enough as it is to make friends with people who are trying to get along with you, so don't try to get too close to them. You'll just end up feeling sorry for yourself. But if you can't do anything about it, you might as well sit back and let them have their way with you. It's not fair to them, but it is to you. (I know this sounds like a lot, but I think it's true.) Anyway, if you're not happy with your life, you can't be happy with anything else either. So don't let anyone tell you that you're just a loser. You're not. You're just someone who hasn't found the right person yet. And when you do, you'll realize how much better things can be for both of you. Don't give up just because it's hard now. Keep going. You'll get there eventually. Just don't forget to take care of yourself while you're at it. Remember, you deserve the best that life has to offer. So don't settle for less than you're worth. You're capable of so much more than you think. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're strong enough to handle whatever comes your way. Just keep moving forward, one step at a time. One day, you'll look back and see how far you've come. And you'll be proud of yourself for all that you've achieved along the way.

Howell, T.R. 1950 s. various ssp. 34 mi. SW. of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 12 (cont'd.) They were not of the same pair. Territories seem to be larger than in the aspen groves in Modoc Co., as the birds seem to have at least a 200 yd. diameter terri- tory. Perhaps it will shrink as nesting pro- ceeds, or perhaps it is larger as the country is more open, with long visibility for spotting rivals. At 10:20, sapsuckers across the river were still tattooing loudly and squawking 10:30-again; now one flies over the river to this side and across the road-250 yds. It is clearly nuchalis. There does not seem to be much point in being out at dawn. The birds seem just as noisy and active from 7:00 to around 10:00, it not more so, than when they have just come off the roost. Also, the visibility is a lot better after sun-up. 7 mi. E. of Hope, ft., B.C. Hope to Princeton Road, British Columbia May 13- I spent last night in hope and this morning started out at 5:30 to see how far east ruber ranges. 7 mi. E of hope I heard tattooing from dead firs up a steep, mossy, litter-covered slope. After an extremely slow climb I was only half way to the birds, and I gave up, especially as they were almost certain to be ruber so close to Hope. This was from 6:30 to 7:00, the sky was still mostly overcast. Two

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varous ssp. Hope-Princeton Road, British Columbia May 13 (cont'd.) more stops at likely-looking spots, 9 mi. and 18 mi. E. of Hope yielded no sapsuckers. At 22.0 mi. E. of Hope, I was exceptionally lucky. At 8:15 it was clear and sunny, and at this point the road goes up rather steeply through fir and cedar. Along the river there are cottonwoods, and I listened for 15 min. without hearing a sapsucker. Then one flew up silently and alighted on the bole of a large hemlock, about 40 ft up. In a moment another flew to the first one; there was squawks, and crown feathers raised. The first moved out a couple of feet on a branch and perched cross-wise. The second mounted her and copulated. The copulation lasted only a few seconds, and there seemed to be no resistance by the ♂. The ♂ was mounted on her at a 45° angle. He flew off about 60 ft., and the female preened for a minute or so. Then she flew off past the ♂, and he followed. I lost sight of them. Except for the squawks when the ♂ first came up to the ♀, neither bird uttered a sound. About 20 min. later, a ruber yelped from the top of a dead fir as I passed under it, then flew to another dead tree, then out of sight in the forest. I heard more yelps. This was so close to the first observation that I

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. Hope-Princeton Road, British Columbia May 13 (cont'd.) feel fairly sure it was one of the same birds. Thus, a mated pair of typical rubor occurs a few miles west of Allison Pass, which is 4403 ft. At the same spot I also saw the coast Red Squirrel (which has an orange belly in contrast to the white- bellied interior form). This record is 34 miles west of where I have found typical nuchalis; now I must narrow down this gap. It seems likely that the summit crossed by Allison Pass is the main barrier in this region. 29 mi. SW. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 13 (cont'd.) At 3:40 P.M., I was working at the nest site which faces approximately east (the 2nd one). R. continued until 3:47, when it hitched up to near- the top and flew off. At 3:56 I heard a tattoo from that direction. At 4:22, r. returned and began work again. The bird was getting from 2/3 to 3/4 of the way in (beyond the white wing stripe) by 5:15, when R. again hitched up to the top of the stub and remained there for several minutes; at 5:20 P.M., when I left, r. was still there. I have not seen n. work in the afternoon. May 14 - I am walking roughly NE from the Falls, along the ridge above the road. From 6:30 A.M. until 7:20, no sound of sapsuckers; then in an aspen grove in a wet spot in the pines, a nuchalis sounds off from

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton ft. British Columbia May 14 (cont'd.) the branch stub of a dead aspen, about 20 ft up. It tattoos repeatedly, finally gets a faint answer at 7:36, about 75 yds away. He continues to tattoo, but no more answers. At 7:44 a ? nuchalis alights on a cottonwood a couple of feet from the dead aspen, right opposite the tattooing ♂. After a moment's pause, he flies at her, and they go chasing off through the trees out of sight. I did not hear any sounds or cries. At 7:45 there is another loud tattoo from the direction in which they went. At 7:50, a bird tattoos from the same branch stub as where the ♂ was, but it is not the same bird. I am practically certain it is a ♀ but I can't be absolutely sure. It has blurred stripes and seems to have a whitish chin. Answering tattoos come from the 2nd spot mentioned above. Tattoos and answers go on for 5 min., and then the ?♀ flies over in the direction of the answers. Silence. Then, as I move on, more tattoos. A couple of hundred yds. further NE is a marshy pond about 1/4 mi. long and about half that wide. There are many aspens around it but I did not hear any sapsuckers. Pine and fir-covered ridges rise steeply on either side of the pond, to the NE and SW. On top of the NE ridge, at 8:40, I saw a nuchalis flying silently from tree to tree. The sun came out fully about 10 min. ago; before then

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 14 (cont'd.) there had been light clouds - a "buttermilk sky." Now, at 8:45, it is completely clear. I crossed to the SW ridge, and at 9:25 I heard squawks and saw a pair of nuchalis hitching around on a dead fir. They became silent, and flew to live trees in opposite di- rections, the & quite near to me. They worked on to other trees, and I did not see them again. 11:30 - at the r.-n. nest site. At 11:40, r. comes to the tree, hitches up, down and around the trunk above the nest site several times, then begins to work on the NE site which seems to be the permanent one, 11:47. A good look at r. shows a trace of a post-ocular stripe, but not enough to call the bird an inter- mediate. I have not seen n. at the nest site since the day I discovered it. this has only been 3 days, however, and I have not watched the site in the earlier hours of the morning. From here to Copper Creek, then, I saw two pairs of typical nuchalis and possibly more. This form seems to occur in the dead conifers on the tops of the ridges as well as in the aspens. A ruber this far over must be just an occasional stray. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., B.C. May 15 - 5:45 A.M. - clear, cold; ice on most quiet pools. Sun on tops of ridges about 6:00.

There are still drifts several feet deep in the woods, but the crust is hard enough to walk on. Between 6:00 and 6:30 I heard several loud tattoos - at least 2 birds were involved - but failed completely to get even a glimpse of one. This was most exasperating, especially when a bird tattooed several times directly overhead, so loudly that it startled me. Try as I would, I could not see one. I waited at this spot until 7:00, but there were no more tattoos. my feet were so cold from standing on the snow that I felt I had better walk down to the road again. In a few minutes I went back up on the drift-covered slope and strolled around until 8:50 A.M., but did not hear a sapsucker except for possible screams in the distance, about 7:30. I looked for sapsuckers at several likely spots on the way back to the Falls, but did not see or hear any. May 16 - 5:35 A.M. - at the same spot. The road at this point runs roughly north-south, and snow-covered ridges rise steeply on either side. On the west ridge there is more live timber than on the east. At 6:00, as the sun was just about to come over the east ridge, a sapsucker tattooed from the west side. This was repeated several

The sky is clear except for a haze on the horizon, and the sunlight was just then touching the tops of the ridges; the tattoos were from the level of the road, or slightly above it. At about 6:10 A.M. I caught sight of a bird on the east slope as it flew from one tree to another. It was definitely an intermediate. It's head striping was thoroug hly suffused with red, so that it almost seemed red-and-white rather than black-and-white. Loud yelps came from across the road, to the W, and the bird flew over there. In a few minutes one sapsucker followed by another flew back to the area on the E slope, and tattooing and answering began between them. Again, I was completely unable to see either of them although I got quite close. The snow is deep and soft in amongst the trees, and walking is clumsy and noisy. Promptly at 6:30 tattooing stopped. At 7:40 I heard very distant yelps, as the sun was just reaching down to road level. 8:23- tattooing began on the E. slope; yelps answered from near the road or across it. A few more tattoos, and a nuchalis, typical, probably a flew out to a hemlock and began to drill it and feed. After a few minutes of this, it suddenly flew a couple of hundred yds. down into the woods. There were a few yelps, then silence.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. 6 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 16 (cont'd). This is the place (22 mi. E of Hope) where I saw a pair of ruber on the 13th of May. I got here at 9:25 A.M., and a sapsucker tattooed twice nearby, but I could not see it. This is 13 speedometer miles from where I saw typical nuchalis and an intermediate this morning. As corvus flies, it is less than that. It may well be that nuchalis is more aggressive and is colonizing "the burn" even if it is over the pass- That is west of Allison Pass. I started back in the direction from which I came, and stopped after about 6.5 miles at a spot where it looked as though I could walk around a bit. This was an l.p. pine, Doug fir, red cedar forest; it was rather moist, with much moss on the ground and a pale green moss hanging in streamers (like "Spanish moss" in SE U.S.) from the branches. In a few minutes a typical ruber came into sight, seemingly accompanied by a ? Nairy Woodpecker. The ruber worked rapidly from tree to tree, keeping rather low, usually not over 5 ft above the ground, tapping a little and apparently feeding. The Nairy drifted in the same direction, but they didn't seem to notice each other. There were no cries, and the ruber was soon out of sight. This point is exactly 6.6 speedometer miles from the first place where I stopped this morning.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Hope - Princeton Road, British Columbia May 16 (cont'd) - The road runs through Manning Park in a sort of a "V". The Falls is near the upper right limb of the figure, and Allison Pass is a little way up the ascending limb on the left (W) side. At the pass, 4402 ft., with slopes rising to 6000 and 5500 ft. on either side, the forest is mostly lodge-pole pine, locally called jack-pine. Beyond the pass to the west is the 1945 "burn." Mr. R.F. Boyd, the Park Ranger, says that the burn occurred at just about the place where the coast forest blended into that of the interior. The red cedar is a good indicator of the coast forest, and it comes right up to the western edge of the burn. On both sides of the pass there is Engelmann Spruce, Hemlock, Balsam, and- Douglas Fir, and Lodge-pole Pine. It is possible that the 1945 fire burned out the area of intergradation of the sapsuckers, at least that along the road. The road follows the Skagit Creek (= Cedar Creek) and there are enough cottonwoods along the creek and live conifers scattered through- out the burn to permit a continuous sap- sucker population, but it could make for small contacts and very limited interbreeding. Now I want to record my impressions of the ruber that I saw at close range today. ruber looks definitely larger than nuchalis

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Hope-Princeton Road, British Columbia May 16 (cont'd.) as large as a Hairy. It is very dark-looking and no stripes show through the red of the head. The back and wings appear almost all black except for the longi- tudinal white wing-stripe. The ruber that I have been watching at the Falls seems less typical in comparison; it really looks like a daggetti more than a ruber, which may indicate a bit of muchalis in its ancestry. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 17 - 7:20 A.M. Sunny and cloudy after a night of rain. - At the r-n nest site; 7:22 n up to tree, r. leaves with a rattle from the other side of the tree from me. After a minute or so of hitching up and down, n. goes to the other side too. A third hole is being excavated on the north side, between the other two. N. gets about half way in. 7:30 - Tattoos and yelps in the near distance; n. goes on working. Flickers are calling loudly close by - now a pair flies over to the dead tree about 5yds from the nest site. B. immediately flies over and alights on the same tree above them, "crest" raised, but no sound. The ♂ Flicker, the one highest up, about 10 ft from R., moves down . a few feet.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 17 (cont'd.) Flickers were. At the same time there are tattoos in the near distance. N. and R. both seem to be nervously alert; the little hawk is just sitting quietly. N. hitches away from the nest and to higher up on the tree. R. flies over towards where the tattoos came from, about 100 yds. The Sparrow Hawk leaves. N. goes over to the tree where it was, hitches up to the top, flies off. This is about [illegible] 7:45 AM. At 7:55, R. flies to that tree, hitches around out of sight at 7:58, C comes down to the nest site (the new one), and begins work. 8:05. R. gets 3/8 of the way into the nest, comes out with a beautiful of dark-looking chips. 8:08 - N. to nest, R. glides off with a rattle to the balsam tree where he went during the Sparrow Hawk incident; it is running with pitch. Then N. flies over to the little scrub alder (?) 30 yds from the nest, and taps at what looks like a very fresh, first working. As I am close and the light is favorable I can see that N. is definitely a F, with a clear white chin and whitish upper throat. She screams once, then flies off from one dead tree to another. 8:17; a tattoo, and R. comes up to the nest, starts work. 8:28 - M Sparrow Hawk comes by again, alights 20 yds. from nest. R. seems to notice him, hitches away from nest, bobs, screams several times, 'crest' up. The hawk leaves, although he took no apparent notice of C Distant tattoos. 8:33 - R. leaves, screaming. 8:53 - R. goes by 200 yds from nest, from the top of one tree to another, screaming. Then he

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varicus ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 17 (cont'd) flies out of sight, at least 1/4 mi. away. 9:00 A.M. - yelps from n., 100 yds from nest. 9:02 n. to nest, presus. 9:13-n. begins work. 9:24-r. up to nest, then leaves with a rattle; n. leaves after a pause. The ? seems to do most of the work on the nest, but it is clearly not an all-day occupation. I don't know why they keep changing the site unless the direct sun bothered them at the other two. 56.6 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 18 - 5:50 A.M. It is snowing moderately, and apparently has been for some time. This is the spot where I have found ruber farthest east, except at 29 mi. SW. I stayed in the woods until 6:30, and as I heard only a Pileated drumming and as the snow began coming down heavier, I came out. This is a good-looking spot for sapsuckers, though - lots of green timber, but with stands of large dead trees too. At 7:00 I was at a point 1.7 miles E. of where the road crosses Cedar Creek. this is about the western edge of the Burn', and I stayed until 8:35 looking and listening. At about 8:00 I thought I heard sapsucker cries, but they were not repeated. The timber here is mostly Hemlock with l-p. pine and a little Red Cedar. It was still snowing lightly. At 9:00 I was at 22 mi. E of Hope, where I first saw a pair of ruber. As I stopped the car I saw one, and it screamed a few times and flew off. In the next hour I heard yelps several times, but did

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 22 mi E of Hope, ft., British Columbia May 18 (cont'd) not see another bird. The forest is full of soft snow here and walking is very slow. At 10:00 the weather had not cleared at all, so I started back to the Falls. It was not a very successful morning, and I would like to blame this fact squarely on the weather. May 19 - see Journal for account of morning's activity. No sapsuckers seen or heard. 29 mi SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 19, also. In the afternoon I went up the slope where the mixed nest is. Several hundred yards from it I scared up a ? nuchalis with a very white throat: only the lower 1/3, it looked had any red at all. I arrived at the mixed (r.-n.) nest just before 3:00 P.M., and at 3:10 I came up to the north-facing hole, the 3rd one on which I have seen them work. It was present, however, at the time I first found the pair. Today I was going all the way in the hole, completely out of sight, but apparently there is not yet room to turn around as he backed out laboriously every time. When he withdrew, he would toss a beautiful of light yellow chips with a shake of his head, and the wind whipped them away like a puff of smoke. At 3:25 n. came up to the nest tree, alighted, and hiked over to r., who continued work for a moment, and then rattled off. N. paused, then rattled off also. I waited until 4:00 P.M., but did not see either one again.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 19 (cont'd.) The "rattle" seems to be characteristic of a bird leaving a nest site, as I do not recall hearing it at any other time. Also, it seems that if the bird working at the nest does not stop when its mate arrives, it loses its chance to be replaced, so to speak, and the mate leaves. This is not invariable, of course, but I have seen it often. May 20 - no sapsuckers seen or heard in the morning; weather lousy. See journal. At 4:15 P.M. I was at the r-n. nest. At 4:17 r. appeared, hitched about and preened, but did not work. Then 2 tattoos were heard; r. screamed 5 times after the 2nd. At 4:32 n. came over to the tree; r. then began to look in the nest, and n. left with a rattle; then r. left. I heard squawks, screams, and yelps, and some tattoos - this was from about 200 yds E., where there is a nuchalis territory. I went over this way, and heard squawks close by. n. was perched crosswise on a branch, and r. approached her lengthwise, his crown feathers up, and mounted her; n. was facing towards me, and had her head laid far back between her scapulae. I was too close, and r. seemed to notice me, climbed off and flew away. N. remained in the same position for a moment, then began preening. It was now 5:00 PM. More tattoos came from nearby, at a place about 150 yds from the r-n. nest. One bird tattooed

Finally they got together with a burst of squawks, but where I couldn't see them. Tattooing began again farther from the r-n nest. Then a n. flew to the same tree where the birds were a few minutes ago, and a f n. followed. The 8 looked alarmed at my proximity, and he flew about 30 yds to a large spruce. I left then, 5:15 P.M. Neither r nor n, were at their nest as I passed. It was darkly overcast and drizzly the whole hour. * 52 mi. SW. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 21 - 5:45 A.M. - Darkly overcast and raining; I will sit in the car and listen for tattoos. I stayed until 7:55, with no results. See Journal. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 21 (cont'd) It rained sporadically until about 3:30 P.M., and I went up to the slope just west (about 1/4 mi.) of the one where the r-n nest is, and from which it is separated by a slight ridge covered with live trees. I left my watch in the cabin, but I estimate that the following observations were from 4:00 to 5:30 P.M. I heard squawks, and was surprised to find a ruber and a nuchalis (sex?) working about low on the dead trees. They separated, then the n. followed the r., and it came over to the n.; there was bobbing and squawks, r. seeming slightly aggressive. The r. flew far down the slope, about 300 yds. Both

Howell, T.R. 1950 5. Various ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 21 (cont'd) birds screamed back and forth a little. The n. flew up the slope to a broken-off dead Tree and began to work in a nest-site, into which it got about 1/3 of its body. I did not see the r. again, but heard two yattoos from that direction later. The n. worked steadily for what seemed like half an hour, the flew off with a few screams. I strongly suspect that this is the same r-n. pair, if it is a pair. The ruber looked exactly like the previously-observed one, with a faint white post-ocular mark. The nest site is in a dead stub which is of the same size and at the same level as the one on the other slope, and the site is at the same height. I will have to look into this further tomorrow. May 22 - 8:50 A.M. (overslept)-at the spot just de- scribed. Yelps, a bird to the nest site, one leaves with a rattle; I am too close, the other leaves silently. 9:15- typical nuchalis to nest; it yelps. Another typical n. comes up -- squawks -- one leaves silently. The remaining one goes right to work, getting 3/3 in the nest. As both birds are typical, it is likely that r. wandered into this territory yesterday and is in no way involved in this nest. 9:24- this bird flies 200yds down the slope. Another appears; they get together and squawk. Then the work up the slope, 100 yds or so past the nest. More squawks. At 9:29, a tattoo. 9:37- Yelps from up the slope; now both birds to nest--squawks--one leaves, the other begins to work. I leave.

At 10:54, I heard a scream. At 10:55, n. hatched up to the nest from below, and looked in. No response. she went to the side and waited. The wind was blowing strongly and I could hear nothing else. In a moment r. squeezed out and flutter- glided away. N. went to the nest and went in. About 5 min. later I saw a bird beside the nest, and it flew off. This must have been n., for at 11:48 r. returned to the nest, went in, and started throwing out chips. (to town in afternoon). 53 mi. SW. of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 23 - here at 5:35 A.M. - overcast, occasional ex- extremely light snow. At 6:10 a bird tattooed from near the top of a dead tree by the road, and repeated until 6:15 or 6:20. It was typical ruber. At 6:20, it flew across the road into heavy timber, a few minutes later, I heard yelps from that direction. At 8:00 I had crossed the river and was near the "yelp" spot. I heard squawks, and there was a ruber. It seemed curious, and flew over to within 10 yds of me. There were screams close by, but I could not see the bird's head at that moment and was not sure that it or another uttered them. This ruber showed faint traces of head striping under its red at

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varus ssp. 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 23 (cont'd.) close range, but I would not call it an intermediate. I think probably all rubber show this, as it can be made out in skins. The bird moved to several other trees, worked at feeding diggings on a hemlock, and flew down into denser timber, out of sight. I waited until 9:00, but there was no further sign of sapsuckers. A 3-toed woodpecker, (&-P. tridactylus) was close by, feeding, but neither he nor the rubber took apparent notice of each other. This observation was on a slope at the edge of a burned area, and probably not over 200yds air line from where I first heard the tattooos. West of here is plenty of green timber, but there is very little visible from the road until a spot 3 miles E., where I have seen nuchalis. The intervening area is all burned. It may well be that the Burn is an effective barrier at this particular junction of the ranges. There are numerous Red Cedars here; I have not seen them east of the burn, although there are probably a few. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., B.C. May 24 5:30 A.M., clear, cold (see Journal). I stayed here until 6:45 and no sapsuckers were heard. It was so god damned cold that I could hardly persuade myself to walk around, and I didn't much. I moved to 22 mi. E of Hope, where the sun was shining at road level, and arrived at 7:15 A.M.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 22 mi. E of Hope, ft., British Columbia May 24 (cont'd). Not until 8:45 did I find the rubber that has a territory here. One was feeding on a hemlock about 8 in. in diameter. Hemlocks and balsams seem to be favored. The bird moved around from tree to tree, usually sticking to hemlocks, but not at all strictly. It made several flycatching forays out over the road, and finally moved down 170 yds where it did the same thing, and finally alighted in a small clump of willows. Here it tapped and did more flycatching, then flew to a huge live fir. There were screams, and the bird disappeared. It is annoying not to be able to find this nest as the birds are so obviously close to it. This is an area of really huge timber, though, and it is very easy to lose sight of a bird on just a short flight. I left at about 10:15 A.M., stopped and listened at 50 mi. SW of Princeton, but heard nothing. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 24 (cont'd) - At the r-n nest at 3:15 P.M. At 3:28 I arrived, looked in several times, went in. Occasionally he threw out chips, or screamed from the nest. After about a/2 hour he came out and hitched up to the top of the tree and stayed for 15 min. before flying off. I heard yathws twice from that direction, and some yelps, but neither bird came to the nest again while I remained, which was until 5:15 P.M.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 25 - 7:30 A.M. clear, cold. I walked around in and out of the snow here where I had found nuchalis farthest west but did not see or hear a sapsucker. I crossed the road and went up the opposite slope, which is similar but more open, with less snow, 10:15. Almost immediately I saw a nuchalis going from dead tree to dead tree and catching the numerous flying insects that came out in the warm sun. There were screams, and another sapsucker came up; I could not see it well but I am almost sure it was ruber. Twice the nuchalis chased this bird, and it flew far back away from the road. I saw the nuchalis a little more, but it finally worked back out of sight, about 10:35. I stayed until 11:45 looking, but did not see it again. This slope rises above Cedar Creek, and by the creek and on the other side of it is a fine stand of green timber. I have seen one cedar in here. The timber and along the creek is full of soft deep snow, but much of this slope is free of it. It is quite steep though, with no trails, and walking is slow. At 4:00 P.M. I went to 53 mi. SW, and walked a long way up the slope where I saw ruber on the 23rd. I stayed until 6:30, but did not hear or see a sapsucker. There is an abundance of apparently good nesting trees, but I found no nests.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 26 - partly cloudy - 9:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. I climbed up the slope where I saw sapsuckers late yesterday morning, but found none. This was discouraging for there are many apparently suitable nesting sites. On the slope above the falls, if one spends 2 hrs. just walking or sitting at almost any time of day sapsuckers are sure to be seen or heard. Either there are none nesting on this slope or they are very quiet about it. Probably yesterday they were more active because of the many insects visible in the bright sunlight. May 27 - I started out at 4:00 A.M. for 50mi SW to determine just when the first tattoos begin, if there are any, but ran into so much rain that it was pointless to go on over the pass. At 4:40 I got back to the falls. It was still dark, just getting light in the east, and I stopped at the slope here to listen. Robins were singing loudly, and a few other birds, but it began to rain here too and I gave up until later. At 2:00 in the afternoon I went up the slope at 29 mi. SW, and met r or one just like him feeding around in the live conifers just west of his nest. A few minutes later, a nuchalis appeared nearby, and r flew over to her. There were squawks, and a copulation following the usual pattern. The nuchalis (n.?) perched cross- wise on a branch, and the r approached

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various esp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 27 (cont'd) her, moving lengthwise, and fluttering his drooping wings (I noticed this before, but in- explicably failed to write it down), squawking, and with his crown feathers up. He mounted her for a few seconds - she was entirely passive, her head arched far back - and then hopped off and flew away. As I moved on, I heard two tattoos from that direction. I arrived at the r-n. nest at 2:20 P.M. The weather was still very unsettled, with occasional light rain and hail, which was annoying. An hour later, at 3:20, I heard one scream; n. flew to the nest and went directly in. A few moments later she looked out, then came out to a branch below the nest, paused, and flew away. I waited until 4:00 P.M., and though I heard a few nearby screams, neither bird came to the nest. I doubt if there are eggs yet. May 28 - 8:40 A.M. - R. (or one like him) was down in the just-budding leafing aspens right by the cabins, screaming and tapping around. He was about 1/4 mi. from the nest, if it was the same r. At 9:00 A.M. I was at the nest. At 9:38 r. came up, hitched up and down, looked in and went in. 9:40 - n. arrived at nest, squawked, moved aside, preened and scratched. r. then squeezed out, flew off with a rattle, n. went in. N. looked out a few times, came out at 10:00, diving down and alighting crosswise,

She sat there a few moments, then flew off. 10:15 - r. returns, goes to nest, seems to listen, looks in, hitches around, finally goes in. In a few minutes he looks out a few times, finally comes out, 10:30. When r. emerges, he usually does so with his head down, then pivots on one foot and comes around right side up. He flew off to some nearby trees, screamed some, returned at 10:40, hitched around but did not go in the nest, then left. At 11:00, I left. neither bird was there. During this 2hr. period I heard various screams, yelps, and a few tattoos, but could not correlate and activities with the sounds. I went to the nest site on the slope west of the r-n. nest slope, arriving at 11:20 and waited until 12:00, but did not see a sap- sucker. As I was returning along the lower part of the wooded ridge that separates the two slopes, I heard a scream and saw a ? nuchalis. She worked around a few trees, then screamed loudly several times. A ruber came up, and they approached each other, squawking. The ?n. then seemed to invite copulation, perching crosswise on a branch and arching her head back. The &r. then approached lengthwise, fluttering his wings, his crown feathers up, and squawking. He did not mount her, however, but stopped for no

The ? n. remained for a few moments, then flew off also. I feel sure this is the same r-η. pair as is nesting up higher on the slope, but there is no way to be absolutely certain. I went up on the more western slope at about 4:00 P.M. Around 4:30 or 4:45 (I forgot my watch) I heard yelps, and saw a nuchalis at the nest site described several days ago. More yelps-- the bird flew over to a large dead tree about 75yds away, where another nuchalis was - squawks. One, apparently a δ, crossed out approached the other lengthwise on a branch, squawking, fluttering his wings, bobbing slightly, crown feathers raised. The other was not receptive, and did not assume a copulatory pose. I am not even sure it was a ?, but there was no sign of aggression. They hatched crossed out around, and the same actions were repeated - no copulation. One flew off, the other paused, followed, the flew far off up the slope and I lost track of the other.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia May 29 (cont'd.) very fine snow or rain continued. At 6:00, I walked around a bit on the west slope, and found a typical nuchalis feeding at a small conifer which had clearly been visited often. After a few minutes, the bird flew about 50 yds, to near the edge of the road; I heard a few screams, but could not locate it again. By 7:10 the rain had increased somewhat, and I came back to the car. At 7:30 it was still raining steadily, and I left. A few miles east of the pass, it was relatively clear. I heard a few yelps during a brief stop at 34 mi. SW. 8:45- at 29 mi. SW of Princeton, B.C. - I went to the wooded ridge between the burned slopes and saw r. right away; he was feeding at a small balsam about 6ft high, eating sap with his head turned partly sideways, the way all sapsuckers seem to do. Then there were screams and yelps from nearby. r. flew towards tem. In a minute or so n. (supposedly) flew up the ridge a little, followed by r. R. tattooed once. I lost sight of n. after the two got together for a moment, but saw r. moving up the slope in the direction of the nest, 9:00 A.M. [To Princeton for supplies] 4:30 P.M. - at r-n. nest. very windy, cloudy, occasional very light snow.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 30 (----) delayed by car trouble, I got here at 7:30 A.M. The disappearance of much of the snow has revealed a marker, M34, which means 34 miles from Hope, by road. This would make the spot a little closer to 49 mi. SW of Princeton, but by my speedometer it is 50. I started up the east slope, heard screams, and saw a sapsucker fly up nearby. It was right in the sun and I never did get another look at it. I went all the way to very near the top of the ridge and down by a different route, but I did not see or hear a sapsucker - 10:15. I crossed to the west side of the road [A creek runs from the southwest into Cedar Creek at this point. on one side, the timber is al- most all green, and on the other the Burn starts. The small valley in which this creek runs extends to the southwest and provides green timber for several miles, quite possibly to the other side of the Burn. At 10:25 I saw a nuchalis in a dead tree_ on the green side of the creek. Then a typical ruber flew to a small balsam near me, on the Burn side. The ruber moved_ on up the slope a short distance, and began to feed near and even on the ground, apparently on ants, which are fairly large_ and abundant. The nuchalis, which I am virtually certain was a 0 by its color,

{ "text": "9.27.10\nA.T. Howard\n\nI have to tell you that I did not see the house (or any of your other stuff) because we were on our way to the beach and we got lost somewhere. We drove down the road for a while and then turned onto the highway again. We had no idea where we were going but we knew we were close to home so we kept driving until we saw a sign that said \"Welcome Home\". Then I realized we were back on our way home.\n\nWe stopped at a gas station to fill up my car with gas and then continued our journey towards the beach. It was getting late in the day but it didn't matter because we wanted to get there before sunset so we could watch the sun go down over the ocean.\n\nWhen we finally arrived at the beach, I was surprised by how beautiful it looked. The water was crystal clear and the sand was soft and warm underfoot. There were people everywhere enjoying themselves as they swam or played volleyball on the shore.\n\nAs we walked along the beach towards our hotel room, I noticed something strange about one of the palm trees near us. Its leaves seemed to be moving even though there wasn't much wind blowing around at that moment. At first, I thought maybe someone had tied them together with string or rope but when I got closer I saw that they were actually connected by some kind of metal wire which made them sway back and forth whenever the breeze picked up.\n\nI decided to investigate further so I started walking towards the tree while trying not to attract too much attention from passersby. As I approached, I noticed that there was a small plaque attached to its trunk which read: \"This tree has been planted since 1985 by John Doe who hopes it will bring joy and happiness to all who visit this place.\" Underneath the inscription was also written another message stating: \"Thank you very much for taking care of our beautiful garden today! Sincerely yours, Jane Smith.\"\n\nAfter reading these words aloud, I felt incredibly touched by their sentimentality and decided to take a photo of them just in case anyone else wanted to see what they looked like later on down the road. Once finished capturing images using my phone camera app, I headed straight back towards our accommodation where everyone else was waiting patiently outside awaiting news regarding whether or not everything went smoothly throughout entire expedition trip itself.\n\nUpon returning inside building complex containing various amenities including restaurant facilities plus swimming pool area located nearby front entrance lobby section specifically designed solely purpose providing refreshments drinks snacks etcetera throughout evening hours until closing time reached approximately midnight sharp when staff members began preparing shutters ready seal up premises securely locking doors tightly preventing unauthorized entry attempts during nighttime period.\n\nNext morning arrived early around sunrise time bringing bright golden light flooding through windows illuminating interior spaces casting shadows across walls floors ceilings creating mesmerizing patterns resembling intricate tapestries woven from threads spun by celestial bodies dancing above earth below beneath vast expanse starry sky filled countless twinkling points light shining brightly guiding way forward ahead towards new day full hope promise renewal rebirth regeneration renaissance resurgence resuscitation resurrection revival restoration restoration restoration restoration\n\nAt 8:30am I woke up

Then it flew to a small dead tree and tattooed several times. The ruber payed no heed. The nuchalis did some flycatching, then flew down to the ruber, "crest" up and squawking. The ruber flew off a little ways, and began feeding again. In the next 30 minutes, this was repeated several times - the nuchalis aggressive, tattooing - the ruber flying off a short distance when approached, never tattooing. The action took place over a strip of hillside about 100 yds long. The nuchalis flew over across the road to the east slope, a distance of several hundred yards, and in a few minutes was back. Another nuchalis appeared, probably the mate of the first. One nuchalis, presumably the ♂ and the same one each time, continued to harass the ruber, tattooing loudly and the flying over to it in an aggressive way, squawking and with its "crest" up. The 2nd nuchalis seemed to follow along, giving an occasional tattoo. The ruber always flew off when the nuchalis came up, but seemed determined to stay in the general area - the chase went back and forth, often involving the same trees. The ruber stayed consistently low or on the ground, but did a bit of flycatching. The nuchalis tended to stay about 20 ft up, did quite a lot of fly-

Finally, about 11:50, the ruber flew far up the creek, to the southwest, and the S nuchalis followed. They went over the shoulder of the ridge, then came up again, and worked back towards me. Again they went off [illegible] to the southwest, finally across the creek to far over on the green side, where I saw the two in the very top of a dead spruce over 200 yds away. I could barely make them out. Then the ruber went farther southwest, and I lost sight of it; the nuchalis remained in the tree a few moments, then went a little to the east, and I lost sight of it too. At least 1/4 mi. was involved in this activity, which lasted until 12:05. I would guess that this is the territory of a nuchalis pair (both were typical), although it is a large one. The ruber may have wandered up from the west, but its unwilling- ess to leave may mean that its own territory is not far away, although far enough so that no defensive attitude was aroused. The weather was almost completely clear. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C.

R. comes to the nest; n. leaves; r. pauses, leaves also.

N. hitches to one side, waits. In about a minute r. squeezes out, pivots, seems to catch a claw. N. comes up, waits for him to get out of the way: he leaves, n. goes in. 5:34 - screams; n. looks out; after several attempts, n. squeezes out, drops to the branch 3 ft below the nest. 5:25 - n. leaves. I leave too. Neither bird seems to remove anything from the nest, and I presume it is finished. They don't stay in the nest enough to be incubating, I don't think, but they keep going in from time to time. 50 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. May 31 - 7:40 A.M. - still ice, heavy frost; clear. I went along the lower part of the west slope, following the direction of the creek which runs from the southwest. Just off the road, at 7:45, I saw a nuchalis, in the area where they were yesterday morning. It tattooed several times, then flew over towards the creek. About 1/2 mile or more from the road, at 9:30, I chanced to see a sapsucker fly up into a big dead tree. It was nuchalis. After 15 min of quiet crosswise perching, it flew about 200yds east to a very large, barkless dead tree with a number of holes in it, near the creek. I kept the glasses on it, and was barely able to see it go into a southwest facing hole about 30 ft. up.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 31 (cont'd.) I noted the spot carefully and con- tinued west. About 200 yds farther on, I heard tattooing, which was repeated a number of times. I finally located the bird, which was typical nu- chalís. It continued to tattoo irregularly from this general area for the next hour and a half - 10:30 - 12:00. I happened to have a small socket wrench in my pocket, and I found that a very rough imitation of a tattoo made by tapping the wrench on a dead tree got con- sistent responses from the bird. I continued on another ¼ mile and reached the end of the area from which the snow has gone. Another creek comes in from the north, and to the north and west steep, snow-covered slopes rise. Turning back, I was able to start the above-mentioned nuchalis tattooing again by imitation, but it took about 15 min before it came close enough for me to see it plainly. Then I walked within about 20 yds. of the nest described on the previous page and began to tattoo In a few minutes a bird came from the nest tree over to within a few feet of me, obviously much agitated, its crown feathers up. I was able to keep the bird right over head by continuing to tap: finally in went a few yards off to a dead tree and began to tattoo. This was a very red nuchalis; the head stripes were distinct but red overlapped most of the black pectoral

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varicus ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton, ft, British Columbia May 31 (cont'd.) band. It could be either a male or possibly a slightly intermediate ♀; I think it is a ♂. As I started to leave, its mate came up, and they squawked together. Then one of them went directly to the nest and in. I think incubation must be under way. The mate was typical nuchalis. Back at the car at about 1:30, I heard yelps from close by the road on the east slope. So far, I have found only nuchalis territorie in here, although I did see a ruber yesterday. Since the tattoo imitations worked so well, even around mid-day, I will try to define the territories accurately and find out if ruber is breeding over here. June 1 - Rain all morning. At 1:30 I was at 50 mi. SW, and tried tattoos on the east slope for 15 or 20 min. with no results. Then I went to 53 mi. SW, and tried there until 5:00 p.m., with no better luck. The weather was windy and unsettled, alternating sun and light rain. June 2 - 52 mi. SW of Princeton, B.C. 7:45 A.M. - clear. This is a patch of green tim- ber in the middle of the burn, but not a big patch. Mostly the trees are large and with heavy bark - not too favorable for sap- suckers. I walked around in here for about 2 hrs., imitating tattoos, but did not see or hear or see any signs of sapsuckers.

Howell, T.R. 1950 5. various ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton ft., B.C. June 2 (cont'd.) I got here a little before 10:00, and it was already hot. My tattooing on the east slope near the road got no response. I crossed to the west slope, right to a spot where I have seen sapsuckers several times. My tattoo imitations got no apparent response, but at 10:20 I heard yelps and saw two nuchalis near the road. They were a good distance away, but I saw one approach the other with wings fluttering and attempt to copulate with a crosswise-perched bird. The ♀, if it was one, was very unreceptive and would not permit the ♂ to mount. In a moment both flew across the road. As my continued tattoos were unsuccessful, I went back across the road too and although I found a nuchalis feeding there I could not get any response by tattooing. I left at 11:35. This was discouraging, as the success of May, 31 led me to think I had a sure method of locating any sapsuckers within hearing distance, but today it did not seem to work at all. I did not hear a single tattoo from any of the birds. Oddly, it seemed to excite Hammond Fly- catchers more than anything else. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft, British Columbia June 2 - (cont'd.) tree 15 yds from the nest. 3:08- n. struggles out, drops to her usual branch 2 ft. below the nest. Both r. and n. engage in fly- catching close by the nest tree, frequently going within a few inches of the nest itself. 3:20 n. finally goes back in the nest; r. drifts off, flycatching. There are many insects visible in the bright sunlight. 3:50 - n. struggles out, taking a full minute, drops to her usual branch, looks around, preens. 4:00 P.M. - n. hitches up and down the nest tree above and around the nest, flycatches. 4:30 - n. finally leaves the nest tree, out of my sight. 4- [illegible] 4:45 - n. return directly to the nest, then sits looking around and preening for 10 minutes. Sapsuckers must be among the preeningest of all birds. 4:55- n. finally goes in the nest; I leave. This behavior leaves me uncertain whether the birds have eggs or not. They are definitely not working on the nest cavity, for they do not cast out any chips. I was sure they were in- cubating until the nest was left empty for a full 65 minutes -3:50 to 4:55 P.M. Of course the sun is on the nest tree all day, although never directly in the nest, and it may get pretty hot inside. Still, I don't believe the birds count on that. 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. June 3 - Clear except for slight haze, not very cold. Arrived at 6:10 A.M, stayed until 10:30A.M.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia June 3 (cont'd.) I spent these hours wandering about the slopes and giving what sound to my jaded ears like reasonable imitations of a sapsucker tattooing - at least as good as the ones that got results at 50 mi. SW. Not a sap- sucker was seen or heard, although I took pains to spend time in the exact spots where I saw and heard ruber here once before. Oddly, I got good responses from Rufous Hummers and the Empidonax flycatchers. I have noticed that hummers sometimes fly at a woodpecker while it is tapping, and they frequently came up to my imitations. I was very disappointed by this morning's failure, for I went into fairly open places with lots of dead trees and also into the heavy green, mossy live forest. Either the birds are not in here or they keep very quiet. If here, they are probably incubating and thus are not in a tattooing mood. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. June 3 (cont'd.) I walked up to a spot on the slope above the Falls where I have always seen nuchalis, and one was there this time. I waited for about 20 min. to see if the bird would go to a nest, but I didn't see it do that. It was chased several times by a Mt. Bluebird. I did quite a bit of tattoo imitating then and although I got good responses from the bluebirds and a Western King- bird, the sapsucker(s) took no notice at all.

Nowell, T.R. 1950 S. varous ssp. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft, British Columbia June 3 (cont'd). At 4:40 I was at the r-n. nest. At 4:47 P.M., n. looked out for a while, then went back in. At 5:00, she looked out some more, then squeezed out, to the usual branch, 5:02. Then she did some flycatching, usually returning to the nest tree, until 5:20, when she flew off to the east. At 5:56, n. returned to the nest tree; I had heard screams nearby just before. she sat by the nest hole for 5 minutes, then went in at 6:01 P.M. I did not see r. at all. It seems to be a custom for n. to leave for an hour in the late afternoon; it could not have been very hot in the nest as the sun was not out after 1:00 or a little later. June 4 - warm, partly cloudy. 9:15 - at r-n. nest. 9:16 - n. looks out, then back in. 9:23- n. looks out, comes out to usual branch, scratches, preens, up by nest, preens some more. 9:29- n. goes back in the nest. 9:46 - n. comes out, stays by nest. 9:50 - n. back in. 9:57- r. to nest directly, squawks, n. out and away; r. pauses, goes in. 10:04- r. out to the usual branch, goes back in, 10:05. looks out, draws back in. 10:23- n. to nest, squawks, r. to branch, n. in; r. goes to nearby tree, then off 200 yds. 10:34 - n. out, back in at 10:38. 10:52 n. looks out, comes out at 10:53, to branch. 10:56- n. off to near where r. went; screams. 11:12 n. back to nest, in.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 30 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia June 4 (cont'd) a mile away. Here I found another sapsucker nest, about 30 ft up in a broken-off dead conifer, about 3 ft below the top. At 3:45 a bird flew up to the nest, squawked, and one came out and alighted close by. After a pause the other went in. Both birds were typical nuchalis. I imitated tattoos for 10 min. right by the nest and got no response at all. This has been such a complete flop except for the first time that I am amazed that it worked then. However, the birds tend to be quieter and more secretive during incubation, and that may account for it. 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. June 5 - 4:40 A.M. - partly cloudy. No sapsuckers seen or heard, though I watched a likely nest site from 5:30 to 6:00 and from 7:30 to 8:00. I walked up the east slope and it is most unpromising. the trees are al- most all lodge-pole pines, and I did not see any likely-looking nest sites. I left) at 8:45. At 6:30 P.M. I returned and watched the likely nest site until 7:15, but saw nothing. One of the men at the Manning Park Ranger station said he had seen a woodpecker build- ing a nest nearby; his description fitted nuchalis - "head with black and white stripes and red" - or at least, not ruber. June 6- steady rain. June 7- travelled north to Alexandria, B.C.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft., 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. June 8 - 6:15 A.M. - clear, not very cold, out in the aspen groves. At 7:15 I heard one tattoo that was not repeated. These groves do not look as though they have a large sapsucker population - very few workings, and those mostly years old - and even fewer trees with nesting holes, although there are many of all ages and sizes. At 9:00 A.M. I was by a small trickling stream where there were a few workings in some birches I saw a sapsucker at fresh drillings in a small birch about four inches thick; it was a real intermediate, perhaps slightly towards nuchalis. Unfortunately a Robin suddenly drove it away out of sight, the Robin has a nest a few feet away. In the vicinity of Quesnel and Dragon Lake B.C. (see journal) I did not see or hear sapsuckers, but it was mid-afternoon, the worst time. June 9-10. no sapsuckers; see journal Between Kersley and Alexandria, B.C. [ =17.5 mi. S. of Quesnel ] June 11 - my speedometer is not working so I can't record exact mileage now. A. Robertson's Farm is at this point. Weather clear, hot, many insects on wing. At 10:40 I was passing here and saw a sapsucker fly across the road. Before I got a good look, it went back into the aspens, but another came up. It seemed to be nuchalis > ruber. It looked like a

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 17.5 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia Junell (cont'd) big, dark, nuchalis, but the white post-ocular stripe was completely obscured and the black pectoral band was narrow. It too worked back (east) into the aspens out of sight. I looked around in the grove but did not see or hear them. As I returned to the road another bird came up gathering insects low and almost on the ground, like the others. This one was absolutely typical nuchalis. (Few minutes later) - I just found the nest - about 35 or 40 ft up in a big aspen, live, about 18 or 20" in diameter, facing NE. It is the only hole in the tree. I saw both the above-described birds go into it, and they are feeding young. One, the darker and in all probability the ♂, cleaned the nest. A good look at him shows a normal pectoral band, and it is quite possible that he is not an intermediate. [collected, June 14; TRH #s 414-15] McCleese Lake, ft., 20 mi. N. of Williams Lake, B.C. June 11 (cont'd)- This is an attractive lake, with conifers and mature aspen and cottonwood around it. I found two nests, both in aspens, and with parents feeding young. All were typical [see June 18] nuchalis, as expected. One nest was only 7 or 8 ft. up in an aspen about 12 in thick, the other about 25 ft up in a slightly larger tree. I would estimate the age of the young as less than a week. The parents went in the nest to feed, and often stayed in until replaced-10 min.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft., British Columbia June 12 - at 8:25 A.M. I found a nest in a large (18" thick) aspen, facing south, about 13 ft up. There were several older holes in the same tree, which is a live one. I had seen fresh workings within about 50 yds in some birches, and as I scanned the surround- ing trees I saw the ♀ looking out. A chick- aree was scolding loudly. In about 4 min. the ♂ came up, rather nervous, perhaps as the squirrel was still sounding alarms. Both birds are nuchalis. The ♂ carrying food, was like the one seen by the road and described yesterday; the white post-ocular stripe was very obscure and the bird looked dark in general, but it is still nuchalis. He squawked, and the ♀ came out. The ♂ went in with the food, and I left. There are a couple of small clearings by this nest, as is usually the case. I don't believe many, if any, nests will be found in the dense stands of small aspen. Sapsuckers depend too much on flycatching and ant- gathering to feed their young to stay where the trees are very close all around. At 10:00 I went to Ronny Moffatt's ranch, about ½ mi. S. of the Alexandria railway station, where I can get accomodations. Also, I have been told by two people that there are lots of woodpeckers in the woods back of the house. In the afternoon I walked

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. Varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft, 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 12 (cont'd) about 1 1/2 - 2 miles back up a logging road. At first the road goes through mixed aspen - birch - conifers, then as it ascends, it is mostly fir. About half-way up I found numerous old and new sapsucker workings in the birches, and located what I feel sure is a nest a few yards away in [illegible] a big aspen about 35 ft. up. It is a nice freshly cut hole, one of many older ones, and faces west. I waited 23 minutes ([illegible] 3:45 - 4:07) but did not see or hear a sapsucker. June 13 - 5:15 A.M. - light, but sun not yet up. I went walking in an aspen-birch grove 100 yds or more from the ranch house. At 6:00 I heard a scream and a tattoo, but could not find the bird. At about 6:45 I saw at very close range a typical nuchalis, probably a [illegible]; it was working on a small alder. At 10:00 A.M., on my way to Quesnel to get my speedometer fixed, I saw a sapsucker fly across the road. It alighted in a small lodge-pole pine and I got a good but brief look through the glasses: it was ruber or at least very close to it. This spot is a mixture of imm. l-p. pine and aspen, mostly the former, and is 12.7 mi. S. of Quesnel - that is, between Quesnel and Kersley. On my way back to Alexandria, I stopped and collected my northernmost pair of nuchalis, at

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. 17.5 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia June 13 (cont'd.) this spot at 3:45 P.M. It was very hot, probably around 90° in the shade. The young were very quiet until a parent came up. The ♂ was up first, went in, cleaned the nest to a dead aspen about 20 yds away and began screaming at me. His rectal temper- ature was 41.8°C. In about 6 min. the ♀ came up to the nest and I collected her; she was 42.0°C. I hate myself for leaving the young to starve in the nest, but there is no way I could get to them as the nest is high up in a smooth, large trunk. Only 5.2 miles north is where I saw ruber this morning. Alexandria, 1800ft., 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. June 13 (cont'd.) At 5:30 P.M. I went up back of the ranch house in an aspen-birch-fir woods and found a nest about 40 ft. up, facing NW, in a mature aspen—a tall one about 14" in diameter. One parent a ♀, I think, is a typical nuchalis, and the other is ruber. Right next to the nest is a large clump of birches that are riddled with workings. Both birds made 3 or 4 visits during a 20 min. interval; the ruber cleaned the nest once. June 14—screams and a couple of tattoos from the aspen grove by the meadow, and again I saw typical nuchalis feeding at an alder. I visited the r-n. nest here, and saw the ruber plainly; it looks perfectly typical.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 14 (cont'd.) At 7:00 P.M. I found a nest about 25 ft. up in an aspen about 20" thick, which had no other holes in it, facing west. It is at the northwest corner of the aspen birch grove where I saw nuchalis this morning; both parents were seen at the nest at the same time, and they are typical nuchalis. Both came bringing insects in their beaks, and went in at each visit. The birds seem to depend on birches a great deal for feeding, but so far I have not seen a nest in one. The usual location seems to be in a mature aspen not far from a clearing of some sort (for flycatching?) and with well-worked birches and/or alders near by. This nest is at the edge of a large, marshy field. The ♂ nuchalis I collected yesterday has no white post-ocular stripe - just solid black. This seems to be the case with the ♂ at the nest of June 12; it is why I thought the birds were intermediates when first seen. June 15 - clear, warm. I went to a large birch with extensive workings which had attracted a swarm of hornets, butterflies, and other in- sects. I saw a nuchalis, possibly the same one, visit the tree twice during the morning. It came up, promptly chased the hornets away, and began to feed at the sap wells at the top of the working, hitching round and around

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 15 (cont'd) the tree. I was not successful in following it to its nest, although on the first visit it had gathered a beautiful of insects and was clearly on its way to feed young. At 4:00 P.M. I went to the nest described on June 12 and collected the parents as they came up to it. I fired a couple of heavy loads into the tree about a foot below the nest opening; I hope this killed the young instantly. June 16 - I went about 3 miles back of the ranch house, and probably up a total of 200ft in a long, slight rise. First the trail passes through aspen-birch, then cut-over fir, then a narrow belt of mature fir, then lodge-pole pine and immature fir, with scattered patches of aspen, all small. I spent most of my time in the upper part of the trail, but did not find sapsuckers. I saw one or two old nest holes in mature aspens, and some old workings in a birch. I hoped to find ruber in the mature fir - through which mature aspen is scattered - but didn't. I think the absence of hemlock and virtual absence of balsam makes it rather unsuitable. At 4:15 P.M. I was looking around a large grove of mature aspen where I had not been before, and found a single typical nuchalis, apparently a male. I will come back and hunt for the nest. Between 8:00 and 9:00 P.M. I heard screams and saw at least 2 sapsuckers, one definitely nuchalis.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft., 28mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 17 - At the north edge of the "town", there was an extensively-worked birch clump that was visited several times by at least one sapsucker, a typical nuchalis. I heard another screaming not far away. The bird went 200yds non-stop on a couple of its flights away from the feeding tree - 8:30 A.M. McLeese Lake, ft., 20mi N. of Williams Lake, B.C. June 18 - As I had not had a good look at the male symbol of the pair described on June 11 with the nest 25 ft up in a mature aspen, I went down again today with the Moffatts. This time I got long, close looks in good light, and he looks like this: head and breast mostly red, with some black on the anterior part of the auricular patch, and a white post-ocular spots; only a slight hint of a black pectoral band; some black-and-white in the post-nape part of the head. This bird must surely be ruber nuchalis. The female symbol is typical nuchalis. I saw him several times at the limit of close focus of my 10x50 binocular, and also that close while he gathered insects hopping around and hanging upside-down in warbler-fashion in a small aspen. Once or twice he cleaned the nest; I didn't see the female symbol do this. She was more nervous than he when I was close. Both parents went in to feed but usually stayed only a moment or so; the young were noisy as they entered. A Tree Swallow nest is in the next tree, 10ft. away.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft., 28 mi. S. of Guesnel, British Columbia June 18 (cont'd). The distribution of Ruber-like birds is a bit confusing, as is the extreme scarcity of good intermediates. A possible explanation of the latter may be that if the intermediates are migratory like nuchalis, they will breed mainly with that ssp.; if non-migratory, they will breed primarily with ruber. In either case, the intermediate characters would tend to be swamped by those of the typical race. There is some cedar along the Guesnel River, and although ruber does not depend on it, it may be an indicator of conditions favorable to ruber. As the Guesnel River extends to the north and east of this locality, it may be that some ruber work along its valley to points southeast of the normal range. At 8:00 P.M. I went to the spot at the ranch where I saw and heard nuchalis on the evening of June 16. I saw two, but got only a good look at only one for certain; it was typical nuchalis. It was up in the dead top of a 100-ft fir, screaming frequently and occasionally flycatching. A ? Flicker alighted about 2 ft away and preened, but neither payed much attention to the other. As this was going on, another sapsucker flew over- head from nearby, but I could not be sure it was nuchalis. I saw one (some one?) fly into the same general area of the woods after gathering food, but I was once again unable to find the nest; the flights are over 100 yds.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. Kersley, ft., at 14.8 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 19 - I stopped at the Kersley store at about 8:45 A.M., and walked about for a mile or so to the west and south, but did not find a sap- sucker; I saw only old workings and a few old nests, even though there were some likely spots. Then, as I came up back of the store at 10:50, I saw a typical ruber working in a birch tree. It stopped and preened t* and I observed it very closely with 10x50 binocs. It was absolutely typical ruber in every respect. From the birch it move to some small fir logs on the ground, and at 11:15 it flew to a fence post and then into the: trees out of sight. I did not find the nest. This locality is only 2.7 mi. N. of where I col- lected a pair of typical nuchalis, at 17.5 mi. S. of Quesnel. There is no perceptible change in the character of the countryside between the two points. Alexandria, 1800ft., 28mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. June 19 (cont'd.). At 2:45 in the afternoon I found another nest by going up the trail back of the ranch. I found this one as I heard young birds chattering nearby; it was about soft up in a mature aspen, facing west, and with several other holes around it. Both parents seemed to be typical nuchalis, at least one is, and they seem to be in worn plumage. They made about 5 visits in 20 minutes. This is on the edge of a boggy spot swarming with mosquitoes

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 19 (cont'd.) and flies. Also, a small Black Bear, probably a yearling, strolled up about 40 yds away. He ambled off when I shouted at him. I stopped at the mixed nest and watch two visits each of the parents. As with the previously described nest, the parents went in and came right out. 16 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft. British Columbia June 20 - I walked back west about half a mile from the highway on a logging road at about 4:00 P.M. The trees were mostly conifers, but with a liberal sprinkling of birch and aspen. Near the end of the road, in a mature aspen about 45 or 50ft up and facing north, was a sapsucker nest. Nearby were several well-worked birches, and there were several other holes in the nest tree. I saw both parents at the same time - one is nuchalis with possibly a bit of ruber in its ancestry, and the other seems to be nuchalis > ruber. It shows head stipes but washed with red, and the black pectoral band is practically obliterated. One bird cleaned the nest while I watched A big rainstorm was coming up fast, and I left after 15 minutes. During the morning I looked for sapsuckers in several likely spots around Kersley, about 15 mi. S. of Quesnel, but didn't find any.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft., 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 21 - This morning I saw at least 2 sapsuckers, both nuchalis; one was tattooing at around 10:45 and 11:00 A.M., and fluttering around squawk- ing.- for no apparent reason, I feel fairly sure there are no more ruber or intermediates around here. June 22 - Steady rain since dawn. Tomorrow I think I will go up to the Prince George region for a week and return here in time to see the young out of the nest, [illegible] June 23 arrived in Prince George; no sap- suckers seen en route. Nukko Lake, ft., mi. NW of Prince George, B.C. June 24 - I came out here at mid-morning, clear, warm day, with Mr. Smith of the Game Commission here. Yesterday Inspector Gill had identified the Peterson plate of nuchalis as the bird he saw yesterday by the fish trap at the lake, emphasizing "stripes on the head" and saying that it looked worn. However, at the exact same spot I found a nest of typical ruber, about 45 ft up in one of the fairly numerous mature aspens in a forest predominated by spruce. There are also a few birches, with sapsucker workings; ditto for alders. The nest faced approximately east, and was the only hole in the tree. The young chattered and cheeped, and the parents went in the nest each time to feed them, coming right back out. I collected both parents.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. Prince George to 25 mi. N. of Summit Lake, British Columbia June 25 - No sapsuckers seen; see Journal for description of countryside. Summit Lake, ft. B.C. June 26 - after much walking around I saw one sapsucker, a typical ruber. It was gathering what appeared to be ants in a pile of logs on the ground and in a moment flew far into the woods out of sight. I searched in the direction it went, but could not find the bird again or a nest. several of the birches around the lake have fresh-looking workings. Summit Lake to 37 mi. N. B.C. June 27 - no sapsuckers seen - see Journal 16 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., B.C. June 28 - I walked west here as far as the cliffs, above the Fraser River, which must be about a mile or more from the road. I found another nest here - about 40ft up in a mature aspen, facing west; lots of other holes in the tree, including one made by a Pileated Woodpecker. I was attracted to it by the loud cheeping of the young. The locale is the type that seems most favorable - a clump of mature aspen in a rather open spot, with spruce and birch close by. Dense stands of pure aspen do not seem to be favored. One parent is typical nuchalis, and the other looks like nuchalis> ruber; lots of red on the face. When I collect them I can be sure.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 16mi. S. of Quesnel, ft. British Columbia June 28 (cont'd.) I visited the nest described on June 20 also, and it is progressing normally. At neither nest did the parents go in to feed the young, they merely poked their heads in. I estimate that these young will be out of the nest in another 7 days. At 12:45 by the road, I heard several tattoos and loud squawks, but was unable to locate the bird. June 29 - looking for new nests, I was un- successful; no sapsuckers seen or heard. 14.7mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., B.C. June 30 - this area is in the town of Kersley. After a long walk I found a sapsucker nest in a grove of mature aspen by a clearing. It was about 25 ft up, facing west, the only hole in the aspen. I was attracted to it by the loud cheeping of young. Both parents were typical nuchalis, and I collected them. This surprised me, as I had seen typical ruber .1 mile south of here and also less [illegible] than 3 miles north. (just 2mi.N) 14.5 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., B.C. July 1 - I drove and walked around many likely- looking sapsucker places, but did not find a one. It was very discouraging. At 10mi. S. of Quesnel I stopped at a grove predominantly of mature aspen, and quickly found a ruber nest, about 40 ft. up, facing south, in a mature aspen. I first saw one of the parents in some aspens

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varus ssp. 10.0 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia July 1 (cont'd), going from one to the other gathering insects. Then the bird flew directly to the nest, about 50 yds away. Both parents appeared to be typical ruber; the young were cheeping loudly but not with their heads out. The parents did not go in the nest to feed them. I intended to collect only one, but the first one I shot proved so tough that I had to shoot it a second time, and it fell from high up, then set its wings and glided out of sight into very thick brush. I couldn't find it, and I had to collect the other, which also took two shots to finish. This is 4.7 miles north of where I collected a pair of typical nuchalis yesterday, which is pretty close. July 2 - No sapsuckers seen, looked for at two places south of Quesnel. See Journal. 14.5 mi. S of Quesnel, ft., B.C. July 3 - Considerable searching revealed only a lot of workings in birches and a fresh- looking but empty nest in an aspen. Bah. Alexandria 1800ft. 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. July 4 - I went to the ruber-nuchalis nest here, and all was quiet. Soon the parents came up screaming, but the young were evidently out. I had very bad luck in trying to collect the parents - I wounded them both at close range, and they both got away into the bush. All efforts to locate them failed. I finally managed

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia July 4 (cont'd.) to get two of the young, and saw at least one other. They were about 50 yds from the nest, in a clump of birches and firs. I am disgusted at not getting the parents, but it can't be helped. The young are TRH # 444-5; one is like ruber, the other like nuchalis. At 4:30-5:30 P.M. - I went to the same spot. I heard and saw one young one high in a fir, and heard quite a few tattoos. I think the latter must have been by an adult, but I didn't see the bird. McLeese Lake ft, 20mi. N. of Williams Lake, B.C. July 4 (cont'd.) - I went to the nest here which involves a ruber ?> nuchalis and a nuchalis. The ♀ made 5 trips to feed the loud-cheeping young (heads out slightly), then the ♂ came up and I collected him (TRH #446). Unfortunately, I got him in the head and neck, and some of his post-ocular feathers were lost. Still, I think he has nuchalis in his ancestry. I intend to get the ♀ and some of the young when they came out, which shouldn't be long. There were still young in the other nest, typical nuchalis. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. July 5 - I went back to the r-n. nest site and began tattoo imitations - it got results, and I soon got both parents and a juvendo to come up and start tattooing and screaming. I collected the ruber, which was the male.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft, 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia July 5 (cont'd.) The other two scattered, and I could- n't call them up then. I went back about 1 1/2 hrs. later and got responses to tattoos. I saw the & nuchalis, lost sight of her for a moment, then shot what I am fairly sure is the same bird and not a juvenil, as it was only a few feet away. However, the bird hung in a croch of a branch, and is still there at the moment. All efforts to dislodge it failed, and I am going back now to cut the tree down. [Later] To my surprise, this adult nuchalis turns out to be a male. It left testis was slightly larger than the right, but it is definitely not a double ovary. There is now no use in trying further collecting of young or adults by this nest, as there can be no certainty whether the bird collected belongs to it or not. Anyway, I got the rubber, which is the important one - there are plenty of typical nuchalis around. In the afternoon I went to the nuchalis nest below the ranch house. Both parents came to feed, and the young were cheeping loudly and clapping their beaks, but with heads in. The & screamed at me several times. 16 mi. S. of Quesnel ft., B.C. July 6 - I went back to check on the two nests at this spot, and to my surprise they were both empty. At one, a tattoo brought an adult instantly to the nest; I shot at

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 16mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia July 6 (cont'd) it, but it flew away strongly. I heard a few screams from that direction. More tattoo imitations failed to get a response. At the other nest, no trace of adults or young was found. This is very discouraging; I was sure these nests would not be out so soon. Tomorrow morning I will try again. Now for some general notes: the parents seem to be attracted back to the nest site a short time after the young have left, but once shot at, the become very wary. This is in contrast to their behavior when the young are still in, for they are very bold and persistent then. When shot at or even wounded, the adults will return or never even go away Alexandria 1800ft., 28mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. July 6 (cont'd) - A late afternoon (7:00 P.M.) visit to the ruber-nuchalis nest site did not reveal any adults or young, although tattoo and scream imitations were tried repeatedly. There are still young in the nuchalis nest below the house, and both parents in attendance. 16mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., B.C. July 7 - I went to the nest first described on June 20, and began tattoo imitations 7:45 A.M. Almost at once a bird flew up and began to answer.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 16mi. S. of Quesnel, Ft., British Columbia July 7 (cont'd) looked in; I collected it then. It is almost perfectly intermediate between nuchalis and ruber. About 50 yds away I saw a juvenal, probably from this nest, but there is no way now to be sure. In any case, it is certain that this intermediate was quite fertile as it had a whole nest full of young which evidently came to maturity and cleared out. To my surprise, this bird was a ?. Then I went to the other nest and did some more tattoo imitations, getting responses from at least two birds, but could not get one up to the nest. Within 50 yds of it, however, I found a birch "feeding tree" in use by 3 juvenals, all with some head striping, and saw a [?] ad. nuchalis come up and feed them, then start feeding itself. This bird did quite a bit of screaming, but apparently no tattooing. Finally I stalked a bird which was responding well to my imitations, and it was about 100 yds. from the nest. Thus, I am not sure what terri- tory it kept. The bird was very close to typical ruber, and may have been so. I took careful aim and fired, and it flew away. I cannot understand why, when I had previously collected 5 pairs with casual ease, I should now find myself lucky to get half the birds I shoot at. Such is malevolent fate.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. McLeese Lake ft., 20mi. N. of Williams Lake, British Columbia July 7 (cont'd) The young were still in the nest here but surely about to leave as they were poking their heads out and giving screams as well as cheeps. I collected the ♀ (nuchalis) as she came up to feed the young, and then cut down the tree and got the juvenals out of the nest. These are TRH **s 450-454, and the ♂ parent **446. One juvenile may have already come out or got away somehow, as I heard cries that sounded like one, but didn't see it. The young birds all had hyoboscid (sp?) flies on them- the first time I have noticed these on sapsuckers. 16mi. S. of Quesnel ft., B.C. July 8 - I went to the nest where I collected an intermediate yesterday and imitated tattoos. There were a few yelps, and another intermediate flew from over 50yds away directly to a dead branch close to the old nest, and on the same tree. [illegible] the bird began to tattoo, and I collected it. This bird was a ♂, undoubtedly the mate of the ♀ collected at the same nest. Then I went to the other nest I had located in this area and did more tattooing, but got only distant responses. 2 juvenals were at the same birth tree as yesterday, and soon a typical nuchalis came up to the tree and fed with them. They flew off to another tree, and the adult then went over and fed both. After a while it noticed me, flew to a dead stub, tattooed once, and the flew away and screamed quite a bit. I walked back toward the other nest, and stopped about half way when [a loud tattoo came from

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. Kami, S. of Quesnel Ft. British Columbia July 8 (cont'd.) The top of a tall dead tree right overhead. The sky was overcast with haze, and I couldn't see very well as far as colors go. There were more tattoos, and I noticed a group of at least 3 juvenals lower down, all of which looked like nuchalis. An adult nuchalis came up and chased a juvenal, and a large juvenal seemed to do some chasing itself. Then, suddenly it seemed, there was a wave of sapsuckers involving at least 5 juvenals and 4 adults -- possibly two family groups. The adults worked very high, going from dead-tree-top to dead-tree-top, tattooing and screaming, and squawking when two or more got together. Once 4 adults were at the top of the same dead tree. I was sure I saw one ruber, possibly more, and am positive of 3 nuchalis. The juvenals all had at least some head-striping. Suddenly the birds stopped tattooing and dispersed, and all was quiet. I walked from this spot back towards the main road, and saw a ruber. Soon I heard the cheeping of young coming from a big mature aspen. The nest was about 25-30 ft up and faced west. I shot one parent (9), although dead, to a branch. The other came up right away, greatly agitated, and screamed and flew and hatched around its mate. This was a pathetic sight and made me feel more fiendish than ever, but I shot the mate too. I had to shoot the branch off to get the other one.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varlus ssp. 16 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia July 8 (cont'd.) The young of this pair of ruber were cheeping loudly but not putting their heads out or screaming, and I think they would stay in the nest a minimum of two more days. Thus the ruber pairs are not necessarily ahead of the nuchalis, but may even be a bit behind. Those birds with young several days out of the nest are starting to show pinfeathers on their brood patches. In this area, then, are found unmixed pairs of typical ruber and typical nuchalis, and a few intermediates that are fully fertile. Interbreeding thus seems very limited, for one would expect a mixed population of mostly intermediates. The pair of ruber with young still in the nest shows that they, the residents, do not necessarily nest earlier than the migrant nuchalis. Mixed matings seem to occur chiefly when one ssp. has wandered a bit beyond its normal range, as the ruber at Alexandria and McLeese Lake. It is perhaps significant that in the mixed pairs and also the intermediates, the male is either ruber or closer to it than the female; this suggests that redness may be selected for by the females, or lack of it by the males. I have not found any pairs of male nuchalis and female ruber. Alexandria, 1800 ft., 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, B.C. July 9 - At the nuchalis nest in the woodlot below the ranch house, there was still at least one young one in the nest, although it was perfectly quiet

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft., 29mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia July 9 (cont'd.) until the ♀ came and poked its head in the nest. The ♀ had screamed at me a lot before going to the nest, but the young one(s) did not make a sound. I saw a juvenile at the small alder in the same woodlot where I have often seen adults; probably this is one from the same nest. 29mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. July 11 - I went up to the r-y nest here, and found it silent, with neither parents nor young nearby. I heard a scream and two yelps from the ridge to the west. By my cabin at the Falls, there was a typical nuchalis working about in the fir- trees. July 12 - An exhaustive search, with frequent tattoo imitations, failed to turn up the birds. At the lower part of the slope, where I had often seen, the rubber and nuchalis feeding, a tattoo brought a yelp from a nuchalis which is quite possibly ♀. of the pair. I did not see any young, or ♂., although I "tattooed" long and loud at the nest site. On another part of the slope I saw a pair of nuchalis and at least one juvenile, so it seems that it is a normal time for young to be out of the nest. The ♀ of this pair is one described about a month ago, with much white on the throat.

Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. 50 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia July 12 (cont'd.) where all had been snowdrifts when I left, it is now thick brush and herbs. In a few [illegible] minutes, however, I found a typical nuchalis nest here which is surely the one I hunted for so hard before. It is in a big, gray, barkless dead conifer, about 35 ft up, facing approximately east. Both parents were seen together, and one cleaned the nest. They go halfway in to feed the young, but it may be that nests in tough wood are deeper horizontally. A roaring stream prevented me from hearing any noise the young may have been making. Across the Burn, at 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C., I saw a typical ruber right where I saw one tattooing over a month ago. It flew about gathering insects and then made a direct flight into some nearby timber, but I could not find the nest or the bird again. There is a roaring stream here too, which prevents location of nests by ear. There cannot be much gene flow if typical and different nesters are found on opposite sides of a 3 mile gap. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. July 13 - I was by the r-n nest site before the sun was over the ridges, which was about 5:15 A.M. All my tattooing and squeaking, here and in adjacent areas, got no response at all except one very distant scream. After two

Howell, T.R. 1950 S.Various ssp. 29mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia July 13 (cont'd.) hours of searching in all the places where I had seen the birds away from the nest, I gave up. Either they did not nest in that particular spot or one very close by, or they finished several days ago and scattered far off. It was after June 2 before the birds started to act as though they were incu- bating, and even then they left the nest empty for intervals up to over an hour. Even if incubation started on June 2, it would be 14 days later, June 16, before the eggs all hatched, and 24 days later, July 10, before the young could be expected out. Since I got here on July 11, I would surely have seen parents and young close by. Of course, they might have actually had eggs earlier than I thought or clipped a couple of days off the schedule somewhere, but in view of the fact that young are still in at 50mi SW and adults and young nuchalis were seen close by their nest site right here, it is just as possible that the nesting didn't take place. Anyway, there is no way of telling now; if I found a ruber, it might or might not be the same one, and of course it is impossible to be sure of the original n.

Howell T.R. PPPI Notes on & subscribers from M. (1906) I have not written to Mr. Howell since I left the office in July 25, 1894, and received a letter from him on August 1st, which I had no answer to. I do not know when you will reply to my letter of June 21st. A few days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Howell dated July 30th, in which he says that he has been unable to find any information about the matter mentioned in my previous letter. He also states that he is waiting for further instructions before proceeding with any action. In reply to your letter of July 25th, I would like to inform you that we have not yet received any response from Mr. Howell regarding the issue discussed in our earlier correspondence. We are still awaiting clarification on several points raised by him. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you updated as soon as we receive more information. Please let us know if there is anything else you would like us to investigate or report back to you. Best regards, [Signature] Date: [Illegible]
