Marshall (1942) = Otus cooperi cooperi
Otus choliba ? ?
1. Olomega
Faint Otus trills heard
by several members of
party and by myself 3
times various nights. Once
heard call 3 or 4 times
at stream track of camp
but could never "call up"
nor would birds ever
continue calling long enough
to locate.
Last night at
Olomega station heard some
notes similar to Otus but
rather gruff and changing
in pitch low in trees at
edge town along railroad
track. I kept in conversation
with it for quite a while
but was never certain that
it was actually an owl as the
notes came from so close to
the ground. Didn't have a
light or gun.
