An interesting evening for running this route with owls on 8 out of 10 stop=
s. We missed out on owls interestingly on two of the stops that we usuall=
y get them. One of these stops now has a trailer at the location=2C so tha=
t could be the reason. The other stop we always have wood frogs and spring=
peepers so loud that it is unbelievable=2C but by that point the temperat=
ure had dropped to around freezing. Wood frogs and spring peepers were at =
the first five stops and I suspect we would have heard them on all stops ha=
d the temperature not dropped. As the temperature dropped the owls seemed =
to become less vocal. I don't know if any studies have been done in respec=
ts to this observation or not. In all we had 10 barred owls. Most of the =
owls all except for the first stop where there were three=2C two of which w=
ere seen=2C were all more distant than is the norm on this route. James R=
