W.A Russell 10 mi. W Canby, Modoc Co., Calif. June 9 1958 Hunted owls between 10 P.M. & midnight. Had 2 Flammeulated Owls answer my calls and Ned Johnson shot one of them. He was thrilled as this was his first experience with this bird. The second owl flew before Jim could get a shot off. It was a beautiful dark, quiet night. This general area has more miles of perfect Flammulated habitat than any place I have seen. June 10 1958 Had 2 more Fignny owls answer my calls this A.M. Hook 1 of them from a juniper. The owl being only 20' above ground. He answered my calls when I was 200yds. away. Had a momentary glimpse of a coyote on hill S of Cedar Springs. Flycatcher #13324 was taken from top of Cedar some 50' above ground. Heavy thunder showers in afternoon and wondered what the Owls would do on a wet overcast night. However, the stars came out and away we went. Jim, Ned & I walked for 2 hrs. - 10 P.M. till mid-night. We heard 2 Flammulated + 3 Horned Owls. Called up a Flammulated Owl for Jim to shoot - his first one.
