3 June '71 Camp Lowell 6170 483 Selasphorus amira? 4.05x4.65 F 6171 687 Compsognathus difficilis 5.5x8.1 B 1 P.M. A few minutes ago while I was walking past an older brush in a thicket a small bird flew from it, and I only cought a glimpse of it, and thinking it had flown from it I walked around the brush for it, when I saw a Whitneys Owl sitting on a limb with its side toward me, and one wing held up shield fashion before its face I could just see if it had kept its eyes shut. Sometimely its eyes over its wing I had overlooked it. It squeezed itself together into the small- ast possible compass so that its head was the widest part of its outline. It looked very comical. I backed off a little and circled around to get a better view.
