I'm not sure John. I don't spend a whole lot of time inland, especially aft=
er dark. I typically find Great Horned Owls around coastal and island spruc=
e/fir forests. We did have two on the Welshtown owl route in Apr 2017.

Alix,

Do you have a possible explanation for the lack of Great Horned Owls? The l=
ast atlas shows them declining in western Nova Scotia.

Paul Gould and I completed a new owl route last night. It is along the Spar=
 Ridge Rd in Yarmouth County. This is a 22 km road that goes around a few l=
arge lakes. The southern portion has more large spruces and pines and the n=
orthern section has mostly deciduous trees. There is no cell service for th=
e most part and there are no houses and very few camps.

We had 15 Barred Owls during the survey and another three at a random stop =
once the survey was done. Some of the Barred came in and started vocalizing=
 near us, so I was able to get a recording that I'll post to eBird soon. Th=
ere was one Northern Saw-Whet in the deciduous portion of the route. We hea=
rd gulls (Herring or Great Black-backed) at two stops near Big Gull and Spa=
r Lakes. I'd like to visit those lakes to confirm breeding and numbers. We =
also had a few Common Loons, Spring Peepers, what sounded like another frog=
 species and a few meteors. There were no clouds so the temperature dropped=
 from 1 degree at the start of the survey to minus 4 at the end.
