Howell, T.R. 1950 S. v. nuchalis Dry Lake, 15mi. N. of Princeton, British Columbia. April 28, (cont'd.) At 10:50 there was another uproar of squawks involving at least 3 birds. The "old" one seemed to be chasing the younger bird, perhaps a F? Then all moved south about 100 yds, where more tattooing and sporadic squawks and yelps are heard. Perhaps these are all males. Quite marked bobbing up and down was noted in both birds men- tioned above, when perched lengthwise or crosswise. 11:00 A.M. Two are now about 50 yds apart, one in a big pine, one in a dead aspen. The "pine" bird tattoos louder and oftener. 11:17- a well-marked bird flies up to a dead asp about 10yds from the other sapsucker there. The latter is rather blurry about the head stripes - probably a bird of the year, but perhaps an intermediate. 11:20- yelps - now all three together, behaving just as described before. There are 2 "adults" one "imm." (the latter shows some whitish on throat- probably a F). One ad. chases the F? a short way, stops, [illegible] it and other ad. squawk at each other close together-one goes to a dead stub, tattoos; F? off to some yds north; one ad. follows then other, much squawking, yelping, tattoo.
