--_b3e16ae8-ed24-4853-9b06-842df63b3fea_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable An interesting evening for running this route with owls on 8 out of 10 stop= s. We missed out on owls interestingly on two of the stops that we usuall= y get them. One of these stops now has a trailer at the location=2C so tha= t could be the reason. The other stop we always have wood frogs and spring= peepers so loud that it is unbelievable=2C but by that point the temperat= ure had dropped to around freezing. Wood frogs and spring peepers were at = the first five stops and I suspect we would have heard them on all stops ha= d the temperature not dropped. As the temperature dropped the owls seemed = to become less vocal. I don't know if any studies have been done in respec= ts to this observation or not. In all we had 10 barred owls. Most of the = owls all except for the first stop where there were three=2C two of which w= ere seen=2C were all more distant than is the norm on this route. James R= .
