On November 30 while driving the Highway 101 toward Yarmouth, near Port =
Maitland, a large heavy bodied bird crossed the road, but I was only =
able to get a glance at it. I was completely lost regarding an id of the =
bird. It was heavy bodied like an owl but too large for any I have seen =
including a Great Horned of which I have seen many. It was too heavy in =
the body for any hawk(too big) and a bit too small for an eagle(body to =
heavy anyway). I may have seen this bird, nothing else makes sense.
On another note I saw several Barred Owls between Digby and Yarmouth on =
the same day.=20

I heard this too, while at home for lunch. I too was very intrigued by =
what sounds like a good description of a Great Gray Owl in NS, and also =
didn't get the location. Ian said it could be added to 3 or 4 records in =
the Province. I gather there is only 1 recent record with an adequate =
description. Ian, or anyone - can you give us any further details?
