K Dixon 1949 Otus flammeolus April 21. Sawmill, 27 mi. NE Globe, 5600 ft., Elevation, Az. Hunted with Russell from 8:00 - 9:30 PM in area near camp; bottom of basin with nearly pure stand of yellow pine of moderate size. Ward called and obtained answers from several quarters almost at once. One individual flew down to perch 6 feet above ground in a scrubby pine in response to the calls. I took this bird, a ♂ (#342). Working upstream, Ward located another male calling steadily, not merely in response to his calls. This individual remained in the taller dense portions of the pines, shifting perch 4 times within about 20 minutes yet never showing itself. The last perch was ± 175 yards easterly of the first. This individual continued calling after we left although we did not prompt it further. We were unable to locate any other individuals; activity seemed to subside after 8:30. April 22. While hunting through low woodland (oak, juniper, yellow pine) 15-18 feet in height I saw a brown-backed bird fly into a juniper tree. I couldn't find it then but later flushed a bird of similar appearance from an oak - I saw the owl perched in the juniper looking at me and I took it (♂, #348).
