This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_7M/MUgsYsvzEjq6I7MMMqA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Ken McKenna Box 218 Stellarton NS B0K 1S0 902 752-7644 Hi all Rick Ferguson and I ran our second nocturnal owl route tonight (April 22). It was perfect weather conditions with no wind, clear starry skies, not many jets and amphibians are still in low gear. The temperature was -1C at the end of the route. The route runs from SunnyBrae- Caledonia (Guys- for you Jim!) mostly through an area burned in the Trafalgar fire in the late 70's. The "forest" that was planted after the fire has mostly beeen harvested and the route has very few good trees fow owl breeding. Last year we had only a single Saw-whet. This year we doubled our owl total with 1 Barred Owl and 1 Great Horned Owl, both calling in the first 2 minutes of silent listning. There was no response from any owls with the recorded owl calls. Our first stop had our only Wilson's Snipe (1) and our second stop 2 Woodcock. Peepers were heard on 4 stops and Wood Frogs on 4 stops. I saw 2 shooting stars, but we must have missed the space station pass. At the old Drummond Mine site in Westville this morning, Rick had 2 Greater Yellowlegs, 6 Wilson's Snipe and 1 Blue-winged Teal as well as singing Swamp Sparrows. --Boundary_(ID_7M/MUgsYsvzEjq6I7MMMqA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.19046"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Rick Ferguson and I ran our second nocturnal owl route tonight (April 22).
