P.A. Kelly 1988 Journal. Sat. Feb.20 (cont.) 1545 PST: Hzes Y19 & 20 inactive. But Y Houses? designated, 14 (new #) 18, 21, 22, 23, 24 and pair of new houses (1 Arb + 1 Tors) whereof from 17. Set pairs of traps at all of those 6 houses. Also set 4 traps in Spider Tree for untagged jw. at H.6. I also set traps at the "130" series (100A, 100C, 101A, 102, 103, 103A) (130, 131, 132, 134, 136) 127A, 227, 228, 100A -> 103A, 201, 205, 116, 98, 96, 90, 64, 61, 28, 26. 1726 PST at H.98 saw a Northern Pygmy-Owl dead (Glaucidium gnoma) with a banded Brown Towhee (Pipilo fumus) in its talons in the Arroyo Willow over the creek in front of H.98. I approached within 6" feet before the owl dropped the Towhee and flew down creek. I removed the band from the Towhee's leg (# 702-57289) and left the warm Towhee corpse on the branch, where G. gnoma was perched (hoping it would come back again to feed). 1749 PST. Came back by H.98 after setting traps up creek at Hzes 96, 90, 64, 61, 28 + 26 to find the Owl busy flucking the Towhee on the branch where I left it. I lay down in the grass about 30' away and watched the owl there' my Binoculars. The owl frequently turned its head completely in a vigilant manner. Hard to know back from front in the twilight
