The entire hour (after news) was a call-in with Steve Sutherland,  
host, plus our Ian McLaren for NS, Dwayne Oakley for PEI, and Jim  
Wilson for NB.  Ian sounded impressed by the sighting, as was I re  
hiuge size plus dish face plus yellow eyes, not dark, and close  
views, and a neighbour also saw a huge owl a day later or the same  
day.  It was call number 14 out of 17 calls, and it was from Fall  
River, N.S.  I didn't get the name of the caller.  I listened to the  
whole show and took selected notes.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
