Marshall, 1939 Othus flammeolus Staywhile Spring, 5150 ft., Blue Mts., Columbia Co., Wash. July 26, 1939 Clear, windless, bright moon. Camp in open valley, sloping to E., in Canadian zone timber - dense forest of larch, lodgepole pine, red fir, spruce. Ad. & young Horned Owls calling, squawking & hooting in this valley. Started out after supper (about 8:30 PM). Couldn't call up any Othus fl. in the entire valley. Walked up 1 mi. (N) to main road at top ridge (Skyline Rd.). Attempted to find yellow pine forest on S-facing slope one mi. W of this junction - but the area was burned over. The heavy forest of small, subalpine trees, growing along the ridge, was apparently uninhabited by Othus fl. Walked about 3 mi. E & along Skyline Rd. (from the S-facing slope above) calling all way. Forest too dense, trees too small (apparently). Finally, at 3 mi., (one mi. or more past junction of road to Twin Buttes) found some good-looking stands of red fir - huge trees, in open, park-
