The bird was seen in the beam of the flashlight twice for good looks within 30 feet - yellow eyes, big head, brown chest stripes, markings in disc all seen - really incredible after waiting all this time. The bird was really annoyed / by my imitations and at one time landed on a branch 3 feet from my head no - found this call to be a saw-whet call on 4-4-73 ? Spotted Owl - 1 - screaming whistle owlings: perfectly calm, cold, clear - no vocalizations except a couple of distant Great Horned - Saw-whet and spotted responded only to my calling = Annals Hummingbird 2 Allens Hummingbird 10 Belted King fisher 2 Red-shafted Flicker 12 Acorn Woodpecker 10 Downy Woodpecker 4 Black Phoebe 10 Horned Lark 15 Violet-green Swallow 2 Tree Swallow 40 Rough-winsed Swallow 3 Barn Swallow 50 Steller's Jay 15 Scrub Jay 10 Common Raven 15 Common Crow 8 Chestnut-backed Chickadee 20 Common Bushtit 12 Pygmy Nuthatch 1-h.o.
