Curious thing so far have not been able to start at Flamulated Owl calling. This area looks just perfect for them. This is really a sub. range for rattlesnakes. Someone sees or collects that least 1 or more every day. So many faide it's confusing. July 15 1959 yesterday came on 4 turkeys at the edge of a manganita slope.
