Index of Subjects Susann and others, "One factor to keep in mind is that this has been an early spring in various parts of the province, and male NSWOs stop calling once they find a mate." This is apparently true for Boreals, but my experience tells me otherwise for NSWOs. "The calling that we use to judge population densities actually reflects failed breeding attempts, at least to the date when heard." To establish that would require a massive amount of field work - have you heard of this being done? "It could conceivably be that this is an unusually successful breeding season for NSWOs." It certainly is *supposed* to be a peak year, but all my nest boxes (that have been checked), and those of my collaborators in the province (totally 135 boxes...again, not all checked), are without owls. Grrrrr... Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS.
