You might be interested. Richard I just got back from an hour wandering around Palmeter's woods. Aside from a few Yellow-rumps, Chickadees and lots of Robins - after I left the wooded area and was walking back towards the Nursing home along the railway tracks, a pair of Barred owls called - the full call, with some overlap, twice, from what sounded like right where I had been. Then I went along to the slightly open area by the river, opposite the eastern end of the Nursing home, and there was a pair of Great Horned owls - both perched on branches, staring at me and giving intermittent, rather quiet single bark- like alarm calls. A bit unnerving actually. I tried taking a couple of pictures, but the light was v. poor, and then I left them in peace. I suspect there must be a nest nearby, and if so, obviously disturbance should be kept to a minimum.
