The first seen was taken by Charlie [Guiguet] at Q.C. [Queen Charlotte] city when it flew across the road + landed in an alder while we were shooting bats. It was at a point where heavy forest gave way to deciduous growth bordering a clearing. At Copper Bay on Aug. [August] 23 one bird came to us as we were shooting bats in a marshy meadow tight against the climax forest. The bird made a screeching noise. Yesterday we heard 3 owls in the same area after dark. They were along the forest edge where deciduous growth bordered an open meadow I picked up a freshly dead individual, very thin + with 3 holes, apparently claw holes in its right side.
