Marshall, 1938 Otus flammeolus Whitakers Forest, 5500 ft., 10 mi. NE Badger, Tulare Co., Calif. June 30 At midnight, heard from my bed on E porch of Sugar Pine Cabin, the persistent & measured hooting of Otus from somewhere to N.E. Probable 150-200 yds. away. July 1 Same as above. Redwood Canyon, 6000 ft., Sequoia National Forest, Tulare Co., Calif. July 4 None heard in upper end Canyon nor within terr. of Strix occidentalis on saddle of Redwood Mt. July 6 Again, none heard in upper end Canyon, although called for persistantly. Whitakers Forest, 5500 ft., 10 mi. NE Badger, Tulare Co., Calif. July 9 Calm, clear; moon past lst [illegible]. Went to terr. at NW corner property in order to locate owls for flsh photo.About 11 PM. Called up one male, hooting rather softly and not until a long calling up. Returned [illegible] hr later with photographer, but owls not answering. Moon low, perhaps activities lessen late at night. Later, after moon had set, called for Otus in terr. above "haunted house". After much calling, finally obtained ans. far up on hill N haunted house. Followed in succession of stops up this hill - owl would call only a few times in succession then a long silence (15 min) and resume 50 - 100 yd. away. Would invar- iably stop hooting at my approach. Never saw, although twice managed to get under tree where owl was . Toward daybreak, back down hill, my hooting brought the owl near me on two occasions as indicated by three or 4 hoots each time. At no time this night did the owl give the steady & prolonged hooting characteristic of its be- havior several weeks ago.
