Howell, T.R. 1949 S:V Daggetti Crowder Flat 5200 ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 29 (cont'd.) did. Between #8 and #1 I noted at least 2 more young and I'm fairly certain I heard an adult. As I had no way of knowing the origin of these young I did not collect any. They were in small pines, tapping and screaming occa- sionally. They are certainly well-camouflaged when quiet. 8:45- on way to #3, about 1/2 way there from Twin Spring, a perfect male nuchalis came up to a pine about 10 ft. high right by me. Up and down the tree he worked, trunk and branches, gathering big ants. Then he flew off to the S. 9:00 A.M. Parents around scolding, especially A. One young out, hops and flops about in nest tree, then flutters out and flies 75 yds NW to the other side of the meadow. Both parents near nest now. B feeds a young in the nest, then to E, A up to asp, screaming and tapping, preening 9:05. 9:10 B from E to asp, to nest v.r., I feed, to branch, screams, preens. I move to a less conspicuous place. 9:15- A to nest, I feed, to branch, to asp. Still at least one young in nest. 9:20-B from E to A at asp, squks, A to E, B to nest, I feed, to branch, to S. Young cheeping, withdrawn. The one that left to the W., does not seem to be getting much attention, but it is out of sight to me. 9:23- A from E, I feed, to branch, x- wise, to S. 9:25- A from S, v.r., I feed, to branch, to E. 9:26-B from S., to asp, I feed; cries of young from NW; cheeps, yelps from adult(s), screams from young - obviously being attended- B to that direction. 9:30- A to nest, feeds, while sound of parent and young come from NW. Now a tattoo-o; more yelps. 9:33- B from E, I feed,
