It would be fun to form some sort of auditory census for Great-horned 
owl nesting pairs right about now.  It's interesting to learn of just 
where they are nesting and whether they are increasing/decreasing.  The 
nocturnal owl survey takes care of this to some extent, but it would be 
interesting to learn more of their whereabouts, particularly close to 
towns, etc.


Here's hoping that this 2nd apparently 'open winter' (I know that March 
can still surprise us) does not negatively affect Barred owl 
populations.  Bernard Forsythe's report of last year's uncommonly low 
(nonexistent?) success rate for nesting Barred owls leaves us hoping 
this winter will be more productive.


The yellow-breasted chat must be regretting its choices by now?
