Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. 6 mi. SW of Princeton ft., British Columbia May 16 (cont'd). This is the place (22 mi. E of Hope) where I saw a pair of ruber on the 13th of May. I got here at 9:25 A.M., and a sapsucker tattooed twice nearby, but I could not see it. This is 13 speedometer miles from where I saw typical nuchalis and an intermediate this morning. As corvus flies, it is less than that. It may well be that nuchalis is more aggressive and is colonizing "the burn" even if it is over the pass- That is west of Allison Pass. I started back in the direction from which I came, and stopped after about 6.5 miles at a spot where it looked as though I could walk around a bit. This was an l.p. pine, Doug fir, red cedar forest; it was rather moist, with much moss on the ground and a pale green moss hanging in streamers (like "Spanish moss" in SE U.S.) from the branches. In a few minutes a typical ruber came into sight, seemingly accompanied by a ? Nairy Woodpecker. The ruber worked rapidly from tree to tree, keeping rather low, usually not over 5 ft above the ground, tapping a little and apparently feeding. The Nairy drifted in the same direction, but they didn't seem to notice each other. There were no cries, and the ruber was soon out of sight. This point is exactly 6.6 speedometer miles from the first place where I stopped this morning.
