Aug 25 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
- of that saddle, saw a Golden Eagle in
very fine immature plumage come over the
hill from the east and sail off south over
the Bald Hills south of Coyote Peak. Tried
to collect a Sparrow Hawk but failed. Back
in camp, about 7 p.m. a ? Horrel Owl was
hooting (who who-a-who-who) in the
fir forest across the meadow N of Camp.
While Cogswell went after her I wandered
down the road to the east, saw a Pileated
Warbler, missed a shot at a Hermit Thrush
heard a ? Horrel Owl down by the Black
Oak area (see map p. 148). As I got closer
I also heard a ? answering in the same area.
Moving down, I saw the ? fly into a big fir -
I started hooting and after about 2 minutes
he flew to a nearby big fir, then dropped
into the top of a small cedar, stopping
about 50 feet away. At that range a
#6 load brought him to the ground.
Aug 26 Humboldt Co., California - Left French
Camp about 12:30 p.m., drove to Martin's
Ferry, going for several miles through
creaks to pure Chinquapin forest, and
then dropping into a mixed Chinquapin-
Madrone nearly pure Douglas Fir forest,
on down to a Chinquapin-Madrone
