Howell, T.R. 1949 S.V. daggetti 18 Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. May 26 (cont'd.) young, brings them a beakful of big ants. About 30 yds farther, I find a small clump of about 12 aspens, one with many old and new holes. I started to poke around in them, and looked up to see a sapsucker's head sticking out of one about 10 ft. up. I squealed, and the bird squeezed out and flew to a small pine close by and screamed. It was a typical daggetti. I marked this #7 and walked on. At 12:10 I returned. The same bird comes to the nest, and a typical nuchalis, apparently a male, emerges, after usual exchange of soft squawks. 12:18 The daggetti out, with a gaping beak full of chips, flies to small pine a few feet away, tosses them with a shake of the head. The nuchalis (it turned out to be a ♀) probably a ♂, full red throat + chin) goes in hole. 12:20. 12:25 - A White-headed comes into one of the close pines - d. flies over to him - no sound, can't see. 12:30 d. to hole - squawks - n. out - d. in. I leave. Nest #2 again, 12:45. Typical d. close by, at level of nest in very small aspen. screams slowly 50 times. 12:55 - The
