>> Hi Jim
>>
>> I don't know if anyone is keeping a record of known barred owl  
>> nests in Kings County.  We have  a family - two adults, two  
>> juveniles - in our subdivisiion in Cambridge (Cambridge Woods  
>> Subdivision) just off Highway One.  This is the second or third  
>> year they have nested on a vacant lot across the road from our  
>> house.  The adults often perch in a tree in a neighbour's front  
>> yard and now that the juveniles are starting to roam, they are  
>> often seen perched with the adults.  At dusk, we start to hear the  
>> young and I have had them flying about overhead when I am out for  
>> a walk.  Our subdivision is quiet with little traffic.  They are  
>> seen swooping down and catching something from our neighbours'  
>> lawns (moles [voles?] or mice perhaps)  Fun to observe.
