--0016363b799a5db1780486a12dfb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed; delsp=yes I did a late-season Nocturnal Owl survey last night, on Hwy 357 north of Musquodoboit Harbour. Ended up seeing and/or hearing 7 Barred Owls spread throughout the route. Most didn't make any noise/become visible until the Barred Owl playback started. Most who responded were close when the playback started, though, suggesting that perhaps the Boreal Owl playback had drawn them closer to the car. One pair stayed distant and simply returned calls after hearing the playback. Nice evening to be out--calm and mostly clear skies, and the 357 was pretty quiet in terms of traffic after the first stop or two. In addition to the owls, I heard Wood Frog ( at a couple of stops), Peepers (at every stop), one American Woodcock, a couple White Throated Sparrow singing in the dark, Hermit Thrush singing just before dusk, and perhaps a Snipe at one of the late stops (it was distant so I wasn't sure).
