reasonable in view of Whitaker's & Big Meadows Observations - rarity
& hearing of yet they call rather consistently when they are found;
Also could acclt for gt distances covered by J's their overlapping
of "territories" & their incessant hooting.
No other otu found tonight the much seemingly
good Jeffrey Pine co. covered.

Lodgepole Pine.
