Howell, T.R. 1950 S.varius ssp. Alexandria, 1800ft., 29mi. S. of Quesnel, British Columbia July 9 (cont'd.) until the ♀ came and poked its head in the nest. The ♀ had screamed at me a lot before going to the nest, but the young one(s) did not make a sound. I saw a juvenile at the small alder in the same woodlot where I have often seen adults; probably this is one from the same nest. 29mi. SW of Princeton, ft., B.C. July 11 - I went up to the r-y nest here, and found it silent, with neither parents nor young nearby. I heard a scream and two yelps from the ridge to the west. By my cabin at the Falls, there was a typical nuchalis working about in the fir- trees. July 12 - An exhaustive search, with frequent tattoo imitations, failed to turn up the birds. At the lower part of the slope, where I had often seen, the rubber and nuchalis feeding, a tattoo brought a yelp from a nuchalis which is quite possibly ♀. of the pair. I did not see any young, or ♂., although I "tattooed" long and loud at the nest site. On another part of the slope I saw a pair of nuchalis and at least one juvenile, so it seems that it is a normal time for young to be out of the nest. The ♀ of this pair is one described about a month ago, with much white on the throat.
