Just want to thank Kathleen MacAulay for the heads up about the Great Horned
Owl. I went to MSVU as fast as I could and with little difficulty, found
Kathleen's owl. A really close up view. At first, it was licking its
talons and preened its feathers before finally roosting/ snoozing. Three
crows flew by. Of course, the students were excited to see it. Kathleen
was right about the owl looking like a piece of wood, which could be easily
over-looked. It's a hard bird to find and see as it was my first GHOW in
four years. Kathleen's directions and description of the owl were crystally
clear.
Many thanks, Kathleen!

Subject: [NatureNS] GHOW at MSVU
A Great Horned Owl has caused a bit of a stir at MSVU today by roosting
right next to the cafeteria window, giving a lot of people who've never seen
an owl a chance to view one at quite close range.
Some people are calling it a Barred Owl. I think the misidentification is
based on its round-headed appearance, but that's because its ear tufts are
lowered. It does a very good impression of a tree trunk and the crows have
not yet noticed it.
