3 June 81 Camp Lowell. To shoot from as the brush was thick. Whichever way I went the wing was interposed and when I backed away for enough to shoot I could not tell which was Owl and which was leaf, but after working a while I shot by guess and it fell, I walked up and was picking it up when I was surprised by another of the same species, which I had not seen at all before, falling near me. Of course some stray bullet had struck it, but at first I almost imagined it had been frightened to death. The bird that flew out of the brush was probably one of the same species. 6172 485 Micrathium whitneyi 5.7/14.8 ↑ 6173 486 Ditto. 5.5/14.6 ↑ 6174 This leaf is also added. 487 Harpobrychus var. rubrum 11.1/3.7 ↓
