1912.
July 30 
[July 30, 1912]

  The old Owl was in the top of cherry tree and two of her young 
were in grape arbor, all day. We had the entire family in 
sight at dusk, about 7.45 P.M., in the birch grove where they 
flitted to and fro with interesting freedom and restlessness, 
shifting from perch to perch every few minutes and scrutinising 
the ground beneath attentively, apparently in search of prey.
July 31 [July 31, 1912]  Old bird in top of cherry all day; two young on 
stump of apple at edge of Jungle, the other two not found.
Aug. 1 [August 1, 1912]  Mother Owl in top of cherry tree east of grape arbor, 3 young 
low down in cherry near tool house. At 7 P.M. I could 
find only one bird - a young one. Late in afternoon 
Gilbert startled one from the tool house, inside which it was 
perched on a rake handle.
 Aug. 2 [August 2, 1912]  Three young Owls spent day in top of easternmost cherry 
tree - a new station. We failed to find the other two birds. 
Aug. 3 [August 3, 1912]  Three young in same cherry tree to-day.
