Cogswell 1949 Glaucidium gnoma Aug. 24 (7:40-45) P.M. French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. One was heard calling from lower branches of the Douglas Firs around a small grassy area below the spring near our camp. It gave both the singly spaced "hoots" every 1½ to 2 seconds, and the rapid "whu-whu-whu-whu-whu-whu-whu" call followed by the slower ones. I tried to approach the bird after it failed to come closer to me; but I did not get to see it. Aug. 27 7:15-7:30 a.m. mid-a.m. 3 mi. N. Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. I heard one calling (and glimpsed it briefly) in the upper branches of the maple-alder forest on the N-facing slope of Loon Creek Canyon. It gave the rapid call occasionally, + the slower one for short periods at a time. [Dr. Pearson collected one here on its 28th] One called briefly from the Tan Oak-madrone Douglas Fir-Chinquapin forest about ½ mile W. of the above spot, or on the same slope. Sep. 1 Three Creek + Brannan Mtn. roads, 4½ mi. W Willow Creek, Humboldt Co., Calif. 2 heard, 1 of them called toward me but not obtained. Both in Douglas Fir-Tan Oak-madrone forest. Sep. 3 Brannan Mtn., 3700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Two heard calling in evening from open pine forest along ridge top + next a.m. I heard 2 at different points Sep. 4 nearly 1 was able to call one into tree top over me. Shot at it, but failed to obtain it.
