I'm posting this report, though tardy, because I remember reading that someone is logging northern owl reports. I didn't save that post and I don't remember if there was a special place to send them, so putting it here. I apologize for the tardy post, wrote it but forgot to send it when I got distracted by a car quitting on us, and shopping for a new one.
