Howell, T.R. 1950 S. Varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft, 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 12 (cont'd) about 1 1/2 - 2 miles back up a logging road. At first the road goes through mixed aspen - birch - conifers, then as it ascends, it is mostly fir. About half-way up I found numerous old and new sapsucker workings in the birches, and located what I feel sure is a nest a few yards away in [illegible] a big aspen about 35 ft. up. It is a nice freshly cut hole, one of many older ones, and faces west. I waited 23 minutes ([illegible] 3:45 - 4:07) but did not see or hear a sapsucker. June 13 - 5:15 A.M. - light, but sun not yet up. I went walking in an aspen-birch grove 100 yds or more from the ranch house. At 6:00 I heard a scream and a tattoo, but could not find the bird. At about 6:45 I saw at very close range a typical nuchalis, probably a [illegible]; it was working on a small alder. At 10:00 A.M., on my way to Quesnel to get my speedometer fixed, I saw a sapsucker fly across the road. It alighted in a small lodge-pole pine and I got a good but brief look through the glasses: it was ruber or at least very close to it. This spot is a mixture of imm. l-p. pine and aspen, mostly the former, and is 12.7 mi. S. of Quesnel - that is, between Quesnel and Kersley. On my way back to Alexandria, I stopped and collected my northernmost pair of nuchalis, at
