Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas Modoc Co., Calif. June 19 (cont'd.) 2:58-n. to nest, squks, d. out, n. looks in, in. Now d>n to nest, I looks in, squits, n. out, d>n in. 3:03- n. to nest, squks, d>n out, n. feeds twice, away. 3:05- d. to nest, in. 3:06-n. to nest, squks, d. out, n. looks in, in. 3:09-d>n to nest, looks in, aside, n. comes out with squits, d>n goes in. 3:12-d. to nest, aside, d>n out, d. to nest in. Silent. I leave. The behavior of n. at this nest is new in that she frequently did not go in the nest on her visits to it. N. would arrive at the nest with food, duct his head in and out once rather quickly, and then go about half- way inside for a few seconds, coming out without food no longer in his bill. D. and d>n almost always go right in the nest and stay until relieved or until they decide to clean the nest. I have seen n. clean nest only once, and the others several times. Possibly d.and d>n are both F.s. (d>is a f) At #1, only one bird has been noted cleaning nest, and at the other nests both birds although, probably one does most of it. 7:14 P.M. Back at #7-sky clear. 7:17-cries of young clearly audible. No son in meadow; all very quiet; still quite light. 7:20-n. to nest, squks, d. out, n. feeds, d>n flies up, seems to scare n. off; d>n goes in, cleans nest to alternate tree, back to nest, half in, off to usual dis- posal tree.
