An Abode of Otus Flammeolus
Online Full Text
At the head of Saliz Canon, San Francisco Mountains, New Mexico, is a road camp and a garage made out of upright pine poles, roofed with galvanized iron. wherein is kept a three-ton Packard truck. For several mornings prior to October 1, 1927, when the men went to take out the truck they heard the flutter of a bird; but not until Saturday did they discover it was an owl.
The bird was brought to me and proved to be a male Flammulated Screech Owl. Evidently it had found the semi-darkened interior of the building a satisfactory resting place during the day, and might have stayed indefinitely if undisturbed.
Reserve, New Mexico, September 29, 1927
