Howell, T.R. 1949 S.V. daggetti 150 Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co, Calif. June 28 (cont'd.) screams continue. 5:17 - in pine 50yds SW, then to SW dead asp again, back to pines.

N?d seemed so excited when the first young left that it gave a tattoo on an N.asp. If is a pity I could not be at #8 and #3 also, as I feel sure some of their young left too. At #3 feeding was continuing at the usual rate, both parents participating. I had only an hour at this nest, and I have no way at all of being sure that any young left. Those from #1 made themselves completely inconspicuous within 10 /less than an hour after their exit. They seemed perfectly able to care for themselves, and were quite large - except for the grey head and slightly shorter tail, they looked like adults. It is clear that the semi-mixed pair, n?d and d at #1, have brought at least 3 and probably the
