a Long-eared Owl which is more likely to be in a grove of pine trees. =
The bark of the Long-eared Owl also sounds much more like a dog than a =
Short-eared Owl.=20

Hi All=20
Last evening on the river doing a little fishing, a Short-eared Owl=20
started barking in a grove of pine trees beside the water.=20
At first it sounds like a little dog but when you listen closely=20
it is different. Hard to describe but not many dogs bark 15=20
meters up a pine tree.=20
A Great Blue Heron came in for a landing. It wanted where I was =
standing.=20
Very impressive a Heron coming towards you with all the brakes on.=20
When it got 10 m or so away it decided another spot 20 m away would=20
do as well and turned just in time.=20
A flock of ducks went over very high followed by 2 geese half the height =
-=20
they were having a good chat. Sounds nice against the background of =
running=20
water. =20
There is a lot of flowers beside the stream just now. Asters, Pipewort=20
Boneset, Turtleheads and a nice bed of Ladies'- tresses. The Pickerel =
Weed=20
is finished for this year and is producing seeds. It would be=20
hard to grow such a nice garden.=20
This years models of Gaspereau seem to have exited the river. None=20
were visible at any rate. They have a season.=20
Enjoy the last of summer=20
