it was moviag from place to place in the trees and once we 
heard it strike against a dry, resonant pine branch, probably 
alighting on it abruptly as Owls are wont to do. It came 
within about thirty yards of us and after that we heard no 
more of it. 
Our squeaking also attracted some fairly large 
mammal, a Fox we thought, Ylfhich approached rather noisily on 
the ground and then, getting our wind, made off again.
