Hi all,
I went up Little Mountain close to dark tonight from about 4:15 to 5:15. I had at least one, possibly two, Great Horned Owls answering me.
Of course, it could have been somebody else looking for owls too. 
Unfortunately, when I got close to the one, I thought pishing might bring it out like it seemed to do the Barred Owl last week but it must have scared it off as I didn't hear it after that. 
I tried calling for barred owl, but well...ahem...let's just say I need to work on the "barking" part of their call a bit. 
Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year, if I don't see any long-billed curlews before Christmas!! 
P.S.--I'm hoping to go to Big White for a couple of days next week, so maybe I'll get those pine grosbeaks I've been hoping for...as long as I'm not going fast down a black diamond (like I would be doing that anyway) because then I might be looking at a tree real close! ;D ;D
