Media notes
NOTES: Birds were 2-6 m up and 15-25 m away in a small stand of three or four large Coast Live Oak trees (Quercus agrifolia) with an understory of grass and Sticky Monkey Flower (Mimulus aurantiacus), all surrounded by Coastal Sage Scrub on east-facing slope just below saddle along Rattlesnake Flats Trail; although I saw four or five birds at the time, I was unable to differentiate between adults and immatures, but when I later recorded these same birds in cut #05-RDAT03-11, I was able to confirm that the begging calls were indeed given by juveniles being tended by their presumed parents; there may also have been an interaction with the flicker; clear and still breezy but recorded in a somewhat sheltered spot, mid-60s. Number of individuals=UU4-5;. Other Behaviors: Establish Flock Contact, Advertise, Establish Parent Young Contact, Beg, Social Context: Family. Habitat: Forest, Evergreen Forest, Chaparral, Scrub, Grove.
