In the seventies, they nested in Hanover on the Sewage Treatment property, between Mink Brook and the CT River. I haven’t seen (or heard) them in Hanover since then.
I flushed one off a skunk on George’s Pond in Enfield Center in the early eighties; my last great horned owl in the UV.
I’ve always wonder why they are so scarce up here.
