brown grass?

Yesterday evening around 6:45pm, my parents, Larry and Sara Jane Hymes, and
I went for a nighttime jaunt in Upper Buttermilk Falls State Park to
attempt to locate a lost phone (which we successfully found on the West
trail around Treman Lake). On the way back from our nighttime hike, around
I just returned from a long walk on the eastern portion of the east
Ithaca Recreation Way. As I reached my half-way point at Judd Falls
Road I heard the four-note call of a Northern Saw-whet Owl repeated

toots of equal length and spacing, then took a break and tooted some more. The
sound was so close that I sensed the breathiness, very
It is very possible that it had been hit or tumbled by a car. I've seen
at least 2 instances of birds being hit and sort of stunned by cars, both
