Howell, T.R. 1950 S. varius ssp. 17.5 mi. S. of Quesnel, ft., British Columbia Junell (cont'd) big, dark, nuchalis, but the white post-ocular stripe was completely obscured and the black pectoral band was narrow. It too worked back (east) into the aspens out of sight. I looked around in the grove but did not see or hear them. As I returned to the road another bird came up gathering insects low and almost on the ground, like the others. This one was absolutely typical nuchalis. (Few minutes later) - I just found the nest - about 35 or 40 ft up in a big aspen, live, about 18 or 20" in diameter, facing NE. It is the only hole in the tree. I saw both the above-described birds go into it, and they are feeding young. One, the darker and in all probability the ♂, cleaned the nest. A good look at him shows a normal pectoral band, and it is quite possible that he is not an intermediate. [collected, June 14; TRH #s 414-15] McCleese Lake, ft., 20 mi. N. of Williams Lake, B.C. June 11 (cont'd)- This is an attractive lake, with conifers and mature aspen and cottonwood around it. I found two nests, both in aspens, and with parents feeding young. All were typical [see June 18] nuchalis, as expected. One nest was only 7 or 8 ft. up in an aspen about 12 in thick, the other about 25 ft up in a slightly larger tree. I would estimate the age of the young as less than a week. The parents went in the nest to feed, and often stayed in until replaced-10 min.
