Howell, T.R. 1949 S. v. daggetti 175 Crowder Flat, 5200ft, 38mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. July 2 (cont'd), no heads out. No adults seen or heard. At 5:30 A.M. this morning the young were cheeping and screaming, and a head was out--same at 6:45 A.M. 11 6:35 P.M. -at #11; no sound or sight of adults or young. 6 Now to #6; one young at least still in nest, cheeping and screaming with its head out. 6:45-at #14-no sound or sight of young; an adult comes up to nest tree, hitches up near nest, then away; I think this was dzn. 14 July 3 6:55 A.M. -at #11~no sight or sound of young, 11 but dzn was close by, silent. At #6-a few cheeps and a finger poked in the nest showed that one 6 more young, at least, is still in. D. came up to f. asp, screamed. I moved on to the #3 area, and 3 a few squeaks brought screams from B about 50 yds away. B's agitation increased as I poked around the nest, and, sure of the identification, I collected it. Now A screamed from the mt. mahogany to the E and then came up and screamed at me and was collected also. I heard cries of young E. of #6. Another search around #11 disclosed nothing. Also, there were no young in A's mt. mahogany clump. 14 8:05-at #14 -yelps from W; nest silent, no head visible. No adults seen around. 2 8:30- to nest #2, collected the parents as they came up, chopped open the nest, and took the young which will be put in formalin. I would guess they are about 10 days old, and they were very noisy and active. This was the 2nd nesting attempt of pr. #2.
