s.v. daggetti
Crowder Flat, 5200 ft, 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif.
July 3 (cont'd.) may have been d. from either #6 or #[illegible] came up to above the juv., [illegible] fed it, and seemed to lead it higher up the trunk. when the juv. got about 40 ft up, it flew over toward #6.
At 4:45 I returned to #6. All was silent, and a look with the mirror showed the nest empty. Then (separately), the parents came up screaming, and I collected both. I can account for at least 4 young out of this, nest, 2 dsn and 2 d., and I don't doubt that there was a 5th.
I forgot to mention that when I collected the dsn at #2, it had in its beak several red ants and a couple of small winged insects.
July 4 - Departed before dawn for Berkeley.
