Marshall, 1939 Otus flammeus Blue Mts. 5 mi. NW Albee Umatilla Co., Ore. July 30 1939 terr., I concluded that the bird was in the above tree & I soon caught the passing glint of its eyeshine. Presently it flew when Longhurst & I [illegible] tramped about too much in the dry leaves. It soon called from some lower trees farther on. It was collected from 10' up in a young yellow pine sitting upright on a horiz. limb near trunk. Previously had flown around us quite a bit & had come very close several times. It called steadily, but gave no protest calls. A horned Owl far was hooting all this time, far to the S. Clear, calm, moonlit night. No other owls found in several square miles of V forest. Longhurst thought he heard [illegible] more than one when the 1st was heard. It was taken at about 10 PM, #693.
