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.
