R.B. Hamilton 1967 Journal Barrancos, 11 km N., 28 Km E. of Cabo Blanco, Dept Piura, Peru Monte Grande, 14 km N, 25 km E of Talara, Dept. Piura, Peru August 7 but unarmed. We ran at the confused bird and succeeded in flushing it (It fluttered low over the ground toward Carl). We shouted and Carl shot it when it got within his range. Ray then took the gun and hunted on the other side of the draw and succeeded in shooting a screech owl. I slept in the mesquite thicket near the net which had been placed for the Long-Eared Owl. However, I had no luck. There was livestock in the corral, and something managed to destroy my net last night. August 8 On awakening and just before returning to camp, I saw an owl fly over net. It dipped down and flew straight into the hole. From its behavior, I concluded that it was obviously aware of the net. After breakfast Fred and I went to the tree to try to get the owl. We attempted to climb the tree but were unsuccessful. We then tried to frighten owl out of tree but were unsuccessful and could not understand why it did not at least appear. Finally, Ray came and since he, being more agile succeeded in climbing the tree and found that owl was no longer in hole, so a couple of hours had been wasted. We then took down nets and got ready to break camp. Near camp Ray shot several Furnarius sp. and put them up as we put up other specimens. We broke camp about noon. En route to Cerro Amotape, Dept. Piura, Peru August 8 We drove south toward Talara. At Pto. Malaca, 4 km N of
