Kullian 1949 Glaucidium gnoma -1- Sept 4 Brennan Mtn, 3700 ft, 4 mi NW Willow Creek, Humboldt Co, Calif. This morning while hunting on the S side of the ridge west from the peak, I gave a series of Pygmy Owl calls and got a response from an owl down in the timber to the S. As long as I gave the single note, I got a steady response, but each time I gave the rapidly repeated note the bird became silent. It took 5 to 15 minutes of steady calling with a single, spaced note to get a reply after each time I did that. Finally, after about 2 hours of "conversation" I gave two series of rapidly repeated notes, and was not able to get a sound out of the owl afterwards. Last night I called an owl up into the trees overhead, and had it there for our 15 minutes. I saw it only once, and then it was in flight from one tree to the other, high above me. When this bird first came in it very excited gave a several series of these rapidly repeated calls. I wonder if it is not a territory warning call, or something of the sort. Summary- Northwest Coast Transect, Calif.- None of these owls were encountered on the coast, I was heard at least 1 night at French Camp, but
