Nov. 17. occasion may have been purely fortuitous. 
(YU. H), 
This is the first opportunity I have ever had of 
watching the Long -eared Owl while actually engaged in hunting, 
all the birds that I have hitherto observed having been either 
met with in the day-time or seen at evening flying across 
openings on the way from one piece of woods to another. I 
confess that I had not suspected that they sought their prey 
to so large a degree in the open and by flying about in search 
of it but had pictured the bird sitting erect and still in 
the depths of the woods watching the ground beneath.
