S. u. daggetti
Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of
Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif.
May 23 yellow pine a few feet above me
and squawks several times. A
3rd daggetti appears perches x-wise,
and is mounted - passive, probably un-
successful, Now follows more tree to
tree stuff, squawking + tapping. The
other bird, left behind, tattoos a few
times. One of this pair does much
tapping in a small juniper. The other
goes to a hole in an aspen 3 ft off the
ground, hangs about it, taps around,
looks in several times. Continued taps
by both.
