I did my first owl monitoring route on the evening of 04/10/09.  Dorothy Po=
ole accompanied me and it was a perfect night for such.  I did my Lapland/L=
acona route and it was not bad.  We had six barred owls and one great horne=
d owl.  I believe this is my lowest count yet on this route and the owls we=
re all a lot further away than normal.  This is the first year ever that I =
did not get to see an owl on the count.  Anyhow=2C it was good to hear the =
owls.  It is also the quietest that I've ever run the route.  If not for a =
large amount of air traffic other than the owls and frogs and a few dogs no=
thing else would have been heard. =20

=20

Near the end on two of the stops vehicles with loud exhaust leaks did not h=
elp.  I must say though this was also the least amount of vehicular traffic=
 that I've had on the route.  Also=2C of special note=2C this was the first=
 year ever that we did not hear a large number of loons.  In fact the first=
 year that I've run the route that we did not hear one loon even.
