Howell, T.R. 1949 Twin Spring, Modoc Co., Calif. May 21 (cont'd). noticed one that was freshly felled, apparently by a beaver as it had tooth marks all over the cut ends. 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."
