Stavocanis paratiticus
15-16 July
Point Ley
About 10 individuals seen in two
sleep and 2 were collected. Three
of these, one collected, were in the
dark phase.
I found that by making a
certain whistle, falcons and grills
flying near enough to hear could
recently always be found over me
and frequently within 410 range.
27 July
Pitt Point
Three, one black, flew over
calling while I was setting out traps
on T2. They produced no response
from the local pouncaries.
August
Jugo Lake
A pair—one melanistic—was seen
ca 1 1/2 mi up stream from the lake.
They attacked a short-eared Owl that
I scared into their area. When I walked
over to where I had seen them, they
could not be found. Sable said he
had seen a pair earlier in the summer.
August
Jugo Lake
At 11:15 after sleep over camp. One
was melanistic. Also heard them around
camp at 0700 before I got up.
