Howell, T.R. 1949 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft.; 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 18 (cont'd.) - #3, and noticed well-grown young Hairy Woodpeckers flying about. 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.
