Birders, Rob Thelen just brought me a barn owl that I presume was catching/feeding on a little critter on an exposed road shoulder. It's pretty messed up, but I will attempt to salvage any parts I can. The bird was found near Arcadia in western Carroll County. It's starting to seem as if there is a fairly decent population of barn owls in the county, between confimed annual sightings, road-kills, and injured birds. January 3 is the Carroll CBC, come over and help out, maybe even find a barn owl......
