M arshall, 1938 Otus flammeolus Eshom Cr. Campground, 5000 ft., W Base Redwood Mt., Tulare Co., Calif. August 6, 1938 Upon learning from Ranger Volmer at Sequoi Guard A- Station that a camper at Eshom had a small live owl, this camper was sought out and the owl investigated. A man in an adjoining camp had felled a dead yellow pine snag for fire wood two weeks before and had found three young "Bill "Billy Owls" in a cavity apparently at the base of the stump.Two were dead (I couldn't find whether they had been killed by the felling or whether they had died previously.) The third was alive although injured and was taken home to a lady in the camp. This lady was next interviewed as was also her small son who had fed the owl. He said that it had taken readily food of all kinds especially bread soaked in milk, beetles, and most of all, worms. It had died after a week in captivity and had been buried (this having taken place a week ago.) They said that it had brown eyes and was "Just a little Billy Owl." A man listening in said that he had seen one the night before near his camp at dusk. The young buried owl was finally dug up and is now preserved in formalin. Juv. # 511. When washed, many of the body feathers sloughed off, but the well developed rectrices & remiges held on. They were colored like those off the adult birds; the juvinal body feathers were uniformly barred with grey & white as in a young Screech Owl,. There was no indication anywhere of any rufous color ,. Whitakers Forest, 5500 ft., 10 mi. NE Badger, Tulare Co., Calif. August 6 In the evening, after dark, a walk was taken after dark to the terr. NE the "Haunted House". Here the owls behaved exactly as they had at the beginning of the season, except that calling was not so prolonged. The male with the triple note preceding his regular hoot, answered immediately from a clump of tall firs, and kept on calling 22.
