Howell, T.R. 1948 Sphyrapicus varius daggetti 8 mi. N. and 13 mi. W of Canby, 4700ft, Modoc Co., Calif: May 23 (cont'd.) screamed 7 times, and left at 8:32 A.M. I returned to the area about 2:45 P.M. At 2:55, Bird B came to the hole, looked in, and left. Not until 4:20 did another sapsucker appear — this time Bird A, which was collected at the hole. I waited until 5:00, but Bird B did not appear. From 6:45 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. I watched the tree but Bird B did not appear. I heard several series of screams nearby but did not see any sapsuckers. May 24 Returned to area at 6:50 A.M. Heard quite a bit of drumming but could not be absolutely sure whether it was one bird or two, but I think two. At 7:15 the presumed Bird B alighted on the dead tree above the hole and began to drum in the same spot I had seen B drum before. The bird flew a moment later. I heard sporadic drumming nearby; at 7:35 there was a series of screams and B alighted at the drumming spot and drummed. I shot the bird, which proved to be a ♂. I can't be absolutely sure, but I think TRH No.'s 351 and 352 were a mated pair.
