You're very welcome! I'm glad you were both able to find it.
I wondered about its health myself when I heard that it had been in one location
for so long, and from the fact that it was so oblivious to passerby. It doesn't
look injured, though of course that's not the only possibility. It's good to
hear that it's mobile.
As for the crows, aren't we getting close to the breeding season, when the major
communal roost no longer occurs? I can't recall exactly when the roost usually
breaks up.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] GHOW at MSVU
Hi Everyone;
I'd like to second Liz and say thanks to Kathleen for the heads up. I live in
Clayton Park which is just two minutes away from there!
I didn't know which building the cafeteria was in, so on Pat Chalmers advice, I
called the main switchboard and they told me it was in Rosaria.
Drive up the hill and take your first right, Roasaia Student Centre. The bird
was in the first tree past the building. You can park in the parking lot to the
right and walk back to the corner of the building, and scan that first tree at
the intersection of the road and a paved walking path that goes up alongside
Rosaria.
The students said it had been there for two days now. Jean Hartley (who I ran
into there) and I wondered about its health and fitness. After going back to
Jean's for a quick visit, I had to pass by the Mount again on my way home; so I
ducked up to Rosaria to check on it again, but it had gone. As I was scanning
the rest of the branches to see if it had changed its perch, I heard it give a
single hoot from somewhere close to the right. As I got back into my car, I
heard it again. So, it's mobile.
Interestingly enough, I did not see many crows tonight - usually there are
thousands. Last night a few hundred were gathered in behind my house at dusk.
It's possible the crows have temporarily moved their roost. They do that a
couple of times every winter. Perhaps the owl was taking advantage of this
break?
Cheers;
Suzanne
