--Boundary_(ID_5CeWGrHcKOtd294EZg3B1w) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT 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.
