I'm having good luck with owls out here below Mt. Cube this month. Tonight it was a Northern Saw-whet Owl perched on a pole near our feeders. I went out after dark to fill them and practically walked right past the owl. I noticed it when I scared it into a nearby tree. I got my flashlight on it and got great looks, the first I've ever seen. I've heard them a few times over the years here, but have never seen one. I'll be listening for "tooting" tonight. I've had some owl reports lately from friends. A woman at work perfectly described a Saw-whet near HER feeders in Lebanon and another friend said he has seen a Great Horned Owl a couple of times around Boston Lot Lake while winter mountain biking. He said he got a particularly good look while crows were mobbing it and described the owl well. I went owling there a couple of years ago trying for the Eastern Screech-Owl John Lloyd heard there. Maybe it is time for another trip to check again for both species.
