Marshall, 1943 Stris name Dec.2 Washington Univ., St. Louis, Missouri. Dark, Cloudy day, cold. No wind. At noon walked S across campus to Chancellor of Univ Throop's property which includes a large heavily wooded (deciduous) gulley. Here were many Crows & Jays. Gave Stris hoots to attract them. Instead of coming to me they all flurked excitedly around a real barred owl which appeared presently on the side of a church, then chased thru the woods & around several city blocks each flight about 80 yds. When I first saw it it was about 50 yds away in a lg. tree - looked at me when I hooted. Crows dove sts. at it & when I moved it flew. Flight low & heavy with much prolonged gliding. Went whole length of woods, & broke thru town, finally went into a house chimney at 20 Wydown Terrace. Didn't come out into the house. Gardener said he saw it try to get out but it couldn't. Saw during the chase, For squirrels, Titmouses, Jays etc. Other birds seen on campus: Starling, Downy Woodpecker, Flicker, Eng. Sparrows, Cardinals, Sparrow Hawks in afternoon. Dec 11 Freezing in Am. clear. Starlings bathing in icy puddle!
