Hi James,

I should have copied this message to you - I sent it to a few local birders
Monday evening. You might be interested.

I just got back from an hour wandering around Palmeter's woods. Aside from a
few Yellow-rumps, Chickadees and lots of Robins - after I left the wooded
area and was walking back towards the Nursing home along the railway tracks,
a pair of Barred owls called - the full call, with some overlap, twice, from
what sounded like right where I had been. Then I went along to the slightly
open area by the river, opposite the eastern end of the Nursing home, and
there was a pair of Great Horned owls - both perched on branches, staring at
me and giving intermittent, rather quiet single bark- like alarm calls. A
bit unnerving actually. I tried taking a couple of pictures, but the light
was v. poor, and then I left them in peace. I suspect there must be a nest
nearby, and if so, obviously disturbance should be kept to a minimum.
