1941 The young owls were calling and scratching about in the box. While the light was still shining on the hole the adult returned again to feed. The young birds detected the ap- proach of the parent beforehand. June 29 Boulder Creek. J.T.Q. reported Steller jays as very noisy where he was working on the fallen tree. There was a Hutton Vireo near the house. Both their species may have come in from outside our acres (see June 15), but W. Tanager are nesting either on the place or just across the river, Junco feeding up out of the nest. (1 loofeather) June 30. Berkeley. Miss Gladding came up after dinner and we watched the owls in the flicker box. I think there were at least two young owls in the box. One of them frequently perched in the hole with head and shoulders outside. The other just raised his head inside the hole, high enough to look out. The parents came often to feed; never both at the same time. The food was delivered at the opening; the parent fluttery its wings as it clung to the side of the box. Then it usually alighted in the oak near by; once on the pergola. After watching from the ground for some time we went to the window of the front bedroom where we were on a level with the box and about 15ft away. With Miss G's eight power flash we could see very clearly. Sometimes the stronger young bird looked directly at us- or at the light. Sometimes we detected a spot of reflected light in the eye but no general eye.
