I learned tonight at a social event of a possible Great Gray sighting yesterday in Norwich, with an emphasis on 'possible'. When I showed up late tonight, after having gone looking for the bird seen on East Wheelock/Trescott Rd. in Hanover, a friend remarked enthusiastically that "I saw it yesterday". This person is from California originally, and frequently watches Barred Owls at his feeder and in his neighborhood. The possible subject bird was seen along New Boston Road, in the fields across from where Douglas Road cuts off (i.e., 2-3 miles from Norwich). He described it as "much too big to be a Barred Owl". Whether or not he did indeed see a Great Gray yesterday, we should keep an eye out throughout the Upper Valley for the bird seen today in Hanover. And please, please, please get word out ASAP of any possible sightings, via UVB, eBird, telephone, or smoke signals!! Thanks, Doug Hardy, Norwich
