Hi all
I am forwarding a message from Steve Vines on he and Amber's Sunnybrae =
to Garden of Eden, (Pictou Co.) owl survey from Friday May 4. =20


Hey Guys,

We did our owl survey on Friday night.  It was a beautiful night for it =
and certainly the brightest night I have ever done an owl survey with a =
near "Super Moon" (Full moon with the moon closest to earth in its =
orbit). Our results were unusual for this route, we usually get several =
Barreds, a Saw-whet or two and if we are lucky one Great Horned.  Friday =
we detected 7 Great Horned, 2 of which I believe to be repeats so likely =
5 owls.  The 2 repeats made me reconsider just how far a Great Horned =
call can carry because when I heard them the first time they must have =
been 1.5 Km away.  We also had 3 Barred owls, one that flew in to check =
us out.  We had Woodcock at every stop but the last which is also =
unusual since we gernerally only have them at the first 2 stops. Also =
had peepers, toads, geese and snipe. A good night!

Steve
