Nesting of the Long-eared Owl.
(ASIO AMERICANUS)
For the Sunny South Oologist:
It was on the bright spring morning of April 25, 1885, that a friend and myself started for the big woods in search of hawks’, crows’, etc., eggs.
We first went to a crows’ nest we found building the Saturday before, and were most fortunate in securing 3 fresh eggs. This was comparatively a good find, owing to the scarcity of that bird in this locality.
