482 Glaucomus forerugineum 7 X 13? 8
I. yellow, Bill greenish yellow,
One yellowish green, Tocs dull
Greenish yellow, Claws black,
I have heard this or another
from sunrise for half an hour to
the same species several morning
singing? in the Cottonwoods near
camp, and this morning succeeded
in finding it. The note was
"clack "crack- cack" repeated
about twice per second for several
seconds, quite loud for the size
of the bird. At each note it
perked the tail, and the head
was thrown back with the bill
pointed out. A few times heard
the syllables "cluck" replace the other
lower, as they were not
audible as far. I have heard
a small Cool for several evening
which is probably this species as it
Different calls from that of the Whitewing Owl.
