[Birdtalk] EAST CANYON/ BIG MOUNTAIN PASS - OWLS - 6/10

[Kristin Purdy]

...and if you want to double freak yourselves out, try owling in a cemetery 
at night. I've done it; it's better than watching a horror movie through 
your fingers because you're the star!

  The mountain called me tonight to come look for owls. I headed up to the 
big mountain pass and into East Canyon. I had multiple FLAMMULATED OWLS just 
East of the Big Mountain pass, calling and with the help of my ipod, I lured 
one in right over my head for a great look and a new lifer for me. 
Unfortunately I wasn't able to hear or see any Saw-Whets. At a different 
area further East into the canyon, I heard many GREAT HORNED OWLS. On the 
way back, west of the pass I had a NORTHERN PYGMY OWL calling with my ipod 
and just when I was certain he was going to fly in, a couple of cars zipped 
past and ruined my plans. However, not a bad result for a spontaneous owling 
trip. By the way, anyone looking to freak themselves out, I highly recommend 
owling alone in the dark mountains at night.
