This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_gVIDR+B6FLSWWhFOa9scfw) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: NS-RBA Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 7:28 PM Subject: Eastern Screech-Owl I met Ray Staszko this evening as he was heading home after visiting Duncan Reef. He often goes out there to film whales and seals. He reported an Eastern Sreech-Owl yesterday evening near the MacIntosh Run, Halifax. He describes it as a small tufted owl with a harsh screeching call. The owl's tufts rule out Boreal Owl or Northern Saw-whet as potential candidates and the size is accurate. I held out my hands to indicate the size of the bird and he said that was correct. The area here is rich habitat reminiscent of Algonquin Provincial Park with interconnecting creeks, marshes, lakes and woodlands. It's a good place to get lost! Access to MacIntosh Run at this location is near the LumberMart, 751 Herring Cove Road. I might also try Barry Crescent or Lockwood Avenue as access points. The trail should be reasonably well used although this is the first I've heard of it. He uses a head light, literally, to make his way out in the dark.
