Howell, T.R. 1949 S.v. daggetti Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. July 2 (cont'd) 1:45 - at #6 - a young d. still in nest, cheeping and screaming. D. spots me from tree (asp) by f. asp, and screams for several minutes, finally flying E. At f. asp are 2 young, d, dsn, sitting quietly. They must be from #6 considering how a "foreign" juvinal was repeatedly chased yesterday. Both young are feeding, 1:58. 2:10 - & juvinal dsn flies off 30 yds to SE. Now d. to f. asp, 6 2:11; silent; feeds by juv. d, feeds it once, soft squks or cheeps; d. to E, past nest, where a young d. is still 1/2 outing. 2:22 -d, W, asp by f. asp, f.asp below juv. d, feed it once with faint cheep, no begging from juv.; then d. away, screams; not to nest. Juv. d. still feeding on its own. 2:28 d>n from NE, asp by f. asp, gathers insects. Faint squks from juv. d; d>n to juv. d. on f. asp, feeds it; juv. d. right back to own feeding, d>n to E. The cheeping nest young are (is?) ignored- 2:30 - I leave. I now walked over and searched W. of #3 - no sign of saps. Then I went to nest #3, squeaked, no response of any kind. Finally, I went to the mt. mahogany to 3 the E where I had so often seen them. Here one flushed silently and flew across the meadow to the W, flying so strongly I think it must have been an adult. This behavior contrasts strongly with the past few days. On my way back to Twin Spring I again saw a perfect & nuchalis, which cannot be n. of #7 as that one was collected this morning. It flew off and my searching about for it and/or its nest yielded no results. 14 Now at #14, 3:00 P.M. No sound of young,
