W.E. Rossell 10 th W Canby, Modoc Co., Calif. June 8 1958. This is a curious owl - very very dark and also small. His stomach contents were as interesting as his exterior. Stomach contained 1 complete Nestoma and 1 nearly complete Flammulated Owl. The stomach of the Flammulated Owl was intact and was full of insect material. In late afternoon shot the Gray squirrel, Sciurus griseus from a pine right in camp. The only one seen so far. Thomomys are really plentiful here - the meadow is losing an appreciable amount of grass just from being covered with their mounds. Am impressed not with what we have seen, but what we have not seen. Heard one Stellar Jay & have not seen a one. All the woodpeckers are scarce in fact haven't seen a single Flicker. Also haven't seen a chipmunk or Golden-mantle ground squirrel. Took 1 Grey Flycatcher on low ridge E of camp. Near there were some openings in the pine timber and around the openings there were a few large junipers. It was some 20 ft up in a juniper.
