The sky was completely clear, and there was = no wind at all at most stops. Dry conditions, little running water = noise, few nearby peepers. So listening conditions were good. In the past, over 25 owls have been heard on this route. There was no = moon in the sky last night, however, and this was not a night when owls = were sitting up and advertising territories, which I've found in Cape = Breton will happen even late in the season, when there is a bright moon = in the sky. We heard 11 owls; - 5 Barreds: 2 pairs nesting close to the road, that flew in, and one = distant owl calling in response to the survey playback; - 5 Great Horneds: 2 pairs and one single giving quiet contact calls to = communicate with mates in response to the playback; and - 1 Northern Saw-whet, tooting away in the distance. With shooting stars and calm conditions, this was a most enjoyable night = to be out owling.
