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.
