Cogswell 1949 Blaucidium groma 2 Sep. 9 (2 mi NW) Red Mtn, 5300 ft. 15 mi. S Hayford, Trinity, Co., Calif. On the W facing slope just below the ridge top here I gave my "Ryngny owl" call to bring in some small birds from the Jeffrey Pine - Incense Cedar forest below me. After a group of Chickadees & Nuthatches had been scolding me for some time, I heard a Ryngny owl calling farther down the slope. I kept on whistling the slow tempo call with only an occasional rapid tempo one, and it finally flew closer & alighted on a side branch of a tall dead cedar about 60 yards down the slope. I shot at it, although I could not see the ground below its perch because of intervening trees. The bird went off the perch backward; but a search of the area below it did not reveal a specimen.
