Extension of the Known Range of the Flammulated Screech Owl in California
Online Full Text
On the night of July 8 and the morning of July 9, 1940, Mr. Joe T. Marshall, Jr., and I climbed over the northeast slope of Mount Hanna, Lake County, California, looking for Flammulated Screech Owls (). As a consequence of Mr. Marshall’s excellent vocal efforts, two of these elusive little owls were enticed close enough to be seen with the aid of a flash light. One of these two individuals, an adult male, was taken, and is now number 79271 in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The reaction of these owls to an imitation of their note would indicate that they were on their breeding grounds. This is apparently the first record of this species in the west-central part of the state.
