Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 53 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., British Columbia June 3 (cont'd.) I spent these hours wandering about the slopes and giving what sound to my jaded ears like reasonable imitations of a sapsucker tattooing - at least as good as the ones that got results at 50 mi. SW. Not a sap- sucker was seen or heard, although I took pains to spend time in the exact spots where I saw and heard ruber here once before. Oddly, I got good responses from Rufous Hummers and the Empidonax flycatchers. I have noticed that hummers sometimes fly at a woodpecker while it is tapping, and they frequently came up to my imitations. I was very disappointed by this morning's failure, for I went into fairly open places with lots of dead trees and also into the heavy green, mossy live forest. Either the birds are not in here or they keep very quiet. If here, they are probably incubating and thus are not in a tattooing mood. 29 mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. June 3 (cont'd.) I walked up to a spot on the slope above the Falls where I have always seen nuchalis, and one was there this time. I waited for about 20 min. to see if the bird would go to a nest, but I didn't see it do that. It was chased several times by a Mt. Bluebird. I did quite a bit of tattoo imitating then and although I got good responses from the bluebirds and a Western King- bird, the sapsucker(s) took no notice at all.
