In both cases, you might call them 'urban owls'? Or certainly in more
open places than a 'forested environment'?

<p>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. <br>

<p>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.<br>
