Howell, T.R. 1949 S.u daggetti 31 Crowder Flat, 5200ft., 38 mi. N.N.W. of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 2.- Went out to Juniper Spring area, 2mi. W. of Crowder Flat. At 10:00 A.M. I saw a daggetti working around in a Juniper and a dead pine stub- no nest seen. There were quite a few aspens along the small creek here, and some showed saps, workings, but I did not see a single hole in any of them. At 12:50 I saw a d., feeding silently in a Mt. Mahogany. At 1:30 I heard several saps, screams nearby. At 2:30 I returned to the same Mt. mahogany; at least 2 daggetti used it to feed on in the next half hour- one had faint head streaks and the other just a white post-ocular spot. They both used much the same route for leaving, and would remain only a few moments. They fed by poking their bills into the pits and grooves they had drilled from an angle quite off to the side. The spot was visited 5 times in the half hour. At 3:15, about 1/4 mi. from the previous spot, I saw another daggetti; like the others, it was silent. This makes at least 3, probably 4 birds seen in this area, all daggetti.
