Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat 5200ft, 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 23(cont'd) are both daggetti >nuchalis, fairly distinct in head striping, one more so than the other. The young must be about the same age as those in #3, or about 20 days, as both are now sticking their heads out of the nest. The adults at all the nests show noticeable signs of wear, particularly about the head. 5:40 P.M. At #12 - bird leaves from nest. 5:44 - a d. to nest, feeds, away, screams. 5:45 - a d. to nest, 1 feed, off to W. 5:48 - d. again feeds once, came from W, away. 5:51 - both to nest, from E (dsn) and W (d). 1 D. feeds, dsn right below, d. off to W, dsn to nest, feeds, off to E, across meadow. The nest faces N. One is fairly typical d., the other "typical" dsn - fairly distinct head stripes, no black breast band. 5:55 - d. from [illegible], 2 feeds, in, out with debris, glides to pine 10yds N, whets bill, off to W. 5:57 dsn at nest, 4 feeds, off to W. 5:58.5 - d. from W, 2 feeds, dives straight down, then away? 6:01 - d. about half-way up to nest, gathering insects, working up slowly. 6:04 - d. off to W, without going to nest. I leave. Thus, out of 9 nests in the area, #1 is the only one attended by just one bird. Oddly enough, this one is definitely an intermediate and may be an F, of n. and d. Noteworthy today is the fact that some of the young now get their heads up into the entrance and meet the parent half way. Also, n. at #7 indulged in nest cleaning several times, and I had observed that only once before. June 24 - at #1, 5:41 P.M. - young just fed. 5:43 - dsn from W, one fed, young's head half out, off to W. 5:45 - same, but off to E. 5:46 - n >d across to W. 5:47 - same as 5:43. 5:52.5 - same.
