Taken in the Tehipite Valley A SUMMER HOME OF THE CALAVERAS WARBLER Photo by the Author The female Calaveras sits very tight, but when once dislodged she instantly disappears; and she returns, if at all, only after the lapse of a tedious interval. Even then she approaches with the greatest caution, ready to dart away again at the first movement of the intruder. In this connection, according to Mr. Bowles, the male has a very curious and amusing habit. If he sees his mate after she leaves the nest, instead of joining her and consoling her in her misfortune, he promptly gives chase in the most furious fashion, driving her from bush to bush as though she had wilfully deserted their treasures. As near as we can determine the Calaveras Warbler nests but once in a season in California. Five eggs make the usual set complement, and deposition occurs from May 20 to June 20, according to altitude. Ceanothus cordulatus, snow-bush, is a favorite cover, according to Mr. Chester Barlow, in the middle Sierras; and C. velutinus further north. A favorite lining is soap-root fiber wherever this is obtainable, but dried grasses, horsehair, and feathers are wrelcome elsewhere. Nests are still rare in collections, and are likely to remain so wrhile California chaparral offers such ample asylum to the birds. 454.
