About three or four years ago I found similar differences in songs of Northern Waterthrushes. All in the same location, that is Sapsucker Woods on the Dryden side of the trails. Initially, I distinguished them by sound, then I recorded them and looked at the sonograms. I was surprised that my

Hi all, Yesterday after the unsuccessful owl outing I was heading home and on Freese Road in the headlights, I saw an owl fly across the road from the creek side to Liddel Woods. It was a large owl. But I could not say if it was a Great Horned or Barred as it flew into woods. Meena Haribal
