Marshall, 1939
Otus flammeolus
Flagstaff, Ariz.; June 2.
Time. Would answer
my hoots with soft notes
if I moved from place to
place often enough. Would
often come very close to
answer although I never
saw him. He perched
sometimes in open-branched
high yellow pines, often
in dense groves of sapling
pine, and in black
oaks. I walked up the
canyon which was now,
very narrow & choked with
small pines, and the Ot
was silent! About 75
yards farther, a O answered,
may have been same one.
Called very faringly & very
softly - only single hoots. I
followed it up the N
side of the canyon & tried
to see it as it called fairly
steadily (as long as I answered
from time to time) from
a black oak. I circled the
oak (among small pines)
