Bubo virginianus
June 9 Bogard campground, 5600 ft., Lassen Co., Calif. At
dusk heard on and in the distance. Walked
out on the sage flat near camp and started
hooting. To the N I could hear 2 individuals at
the edge of the sage & forest, or just in - one
high pitched one further E, + a low-pitched one.
Off to the S I could hear 2 others - one high,
one low. The low voiced one nearest me (I)
flew to the top of a Yellow Pine about 25 yds.
from me, then to another about 40 yds from
me. Plan it flew mayon to where the S pair
was hooting. After while it came back
toward me, but on the S side of the flat.
After a long time the high voiced one near me
flew S to a tree in the sage, then on to the
top of a tree in the forest at the edge of the
flat. Here I could see both of this pair in
the tops of trees, and could still hear the other
pair beyond them.
