Howell, T.R. 1949 105 s.v.daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 21 (cont'd.) - 10:29- bird to nest from E., feeds off to W. 10:30- n>d to nest, 10 ducks in, away. 10:31- n>d to nest feeds once, off. 10:36- bird & nest, feeds, off. 10:37- same. 10:38- same- I think this is d. 10:38, 5- same, 10:39- same, 10:40.5- same- d. for sure? At this point I ran out of ink and returned for some; I will go back to the nest in a few minutes. The activity is so fast I will have to omit the parts about which direction the birds come and go to (+ from). I will just try to identify the parent, which is difficult as they get their heads in the nest so rapidly. 11:23- back at #1.- 11:25- n>d feeds twice - to W. 11:28- n>d. again feeds, off to N. 11:29- d. feeds once 11:31- n>d feeds once. 11:34- n>d feeds once. 11:35- ? feeds once. 11:37- same. 11:39 n>d feeds thrice. 11:41- n>d feeds once. 11:43- ? to nest, feeds thrice. 11:47- n>d feeds once. D. nearby, within 10 yds, picking around + flycatching, now off to W. 11:49-? feeds twice. Jay nearby, noisy; 11:54- n>d feeds twice 11:55- n>d feeds thrice 11:57- n>d feeds once. 11:58- same. 12:00- same. 12:03- n>d feeds twice. 12:05- same. 12:07- same. 12:09- same. 12:10- n>d feeds 4 times. 12:13- n>d, 3 times. 12:15- n>d, twice. 12:17, same. Young almost silent. 12:19- n>d, 4 times. 12:23- n>d to nest, bobs in 5 times, away with some food left. 12:24- n>d, twice; off over 100 yds to N. 12:26- same. I leave. Most of the time n>d came from the W. and left to the N; it might circle to the W. or fly that way a minute later. I question any identification of d. at the nest. At 11:47 I saw both at once; d. was around but not feeding the young. N>d was working a furious pace. At no time did an adult go in the nest. These young are about 18 days old.
