Howell, T.R. 1950 S. various ssp. Alexandria, 1800 ft., 28 mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia June 21 - This morning I saw at least 2 sapsuckers, both nuchalis; one was tattooing at around 10:45 and 11:00 A.M., and fluttering around squawk- ing.- for no apparent reason, I feel fairly sure there are no more ruber or intermediates around here. June 22 - Steady rain since dawn. Tomorrow I think I will go up to the Prince George region for a week and return here in time to see the young out of the nest, [illegible] June 23 arrived in Prince George; no sap- suckers seen en route. Nukko Lake, ft., mi. NW of Prince George, B.C. June 24 - I came out here at mid-morning, clear, warm day, with Mr. Smith of the Game Commission here. Yesterday Inspector Gill had identified the Peterson plate of nuchalis as the bird he saw yesterday by the fish trap at the lake, emphasizing "stripes on the head" and saying that it looked worn. However, at the exact same spot I found a nest of typical ruber, about 45 ft up in one of the fairly numerous mature aspens in a forest predominated by spruce. There are also a few birches, with sapsucker workings; ditto for alders. The nest faced approximately east, and was the only hole in the tree. The young chattered and cheeped, and the parents went in the nest each time to feed them, coming right back out. I collected both parents.
