Modoc Co., Calif.
May 21 (cont'd) of the hole and then shifted
over to it. For 10 minutes he stayed in this
position, looking around at me and occasionally
bobbing his head into the hole but not
going all the way in. Then the female
alighted higher up on the tree and he
popped in. After that, I went to look
for other nests (see Journal), The obser-
vation was concluded at 10:30 A.M.
In the afternoon I went to the
Crowder Flat Ranger Station where
there are some nice aspens. I saw
lots of workings but only one s'sucker,
a daggetti
I returned to Twin Spring at 4:00 P.M.
and at 5:00 P.M. went out to nest No. 1
(1st described on previous page) and looked
in with mirror and flashlight. I saw
no eggs but was not sure that I
could see the bottom of the nest. About
half-way back to Twin Spring I saw
a perfect typical daggetti working (feeding,
I believe) in an aspen. It seemed a
little nervous, and screamed once before
resuming its workings. Then it flew
over to a large yellow pine, screamed
twice, and then six times. After this
it flew off out of sight.
