Re:[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl at Sapsucker Woods
Hi all, sorry for the terse email, I was walking with a friend and didn't have much time. This is presumably the same owl that seen last week sitting in the same spot in the same tree (on the Severinghaus trail). If you go o look for it, don't stay too long. The bird flushed after multiple visits last week. It gives great looks with binoculars if you make a brief stop.

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl at Sapsucker Woods
The local SFO group on Sunday had a great scope view of a/the Barred Owl as we looked east from the trail between the Wilson Trail and the trail intersection just west of the gate along Sapsucker Woods Rd. A sharp-eyed SFO student at the back of our group discovered it in a distant relatively small pine, halfway up, close to the trunk, and not obvious to the untrained naked eye. I don't think we bothered it because we stayed on the trail which was not close to the bird. The bird appeared to be dozing with eyes half shut and it did not move.--Dave NutterOn Apr 24, 2012, at 09:26 AM, Brad Walker edgarallenhoo...@gmail.com wrote:Hi all, sorry for the terse email, I was walking with a friend and didn't have much time.This is presumably the same owl that seen last week sitting in the same spot in the same tree (on the Severinghaus trail).

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl at Sapsucker Woods
The bird seemed very relaxed and sleepy while we were there (SFO group). I went back after class after grabbing my camera from the car and the bird was gone. When I emailed our local group (Broome County--bluewing) Anne Clark emailed me back saying that she'd heard my owl repeatedly when she was near her crows nests. Makes a person wish they knew (and saw) more in the lives of these creatures!
