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.
