Flucidium gnoma white rock Ranger Station, 4800 ft, Trinity Co., Calif. May 30, 1946 while hunting on a ridge - top about 2 miles east of camp (see species notes for casserella iacia for may 30 for description of terrain) I often gave flyngmy owl calls, mainly in the hope of attracting smaller fars- serines down from he tree-tops. Much to my surprise, I was answered on one occasion by two flyngmy owls, one within two minutes of the other, and on opposite slopes of the ridge. I continued my calls, and soon they were nearby, giving excited hilla as well ashoots. I was between the two birds, but they forgot about my imitations and started to go after each other. Soon both were past me. I walked on until I was again between them, and again they went past me. After this happened several times, I finally caught a glimpse of one high in a Douglas fir and dropped it with 10's. The other apparently flew off, as it did not answer my calls any longer.
