[Bristol-Birds] Re: Screech Owl Query

Ken,
I have not seen a roadkill screech owl in at least 3 years.  I have however 
found 2 roadkill barred owls on US 58 Alt between Norton and Coeburn Va 
recently.  I don't travel that road often but I did see the two birds in 
January; one on January 1 and one on January 24.  I also found the remains of 
what I suspect to have been a red shouldered hawk on a very out of the way road 
in Wise County Virginia between Wise and Pound.  The bird's remains were along 
the road near an illegal dump close to a defunct surface mine.  I have no 
hypotheses for how the bird got there.
 
On a more positive note:  I saw 13 GBH standing on/near nests in 22 nest 
rookerie on Buthcer's Fork of Powell River near Big Stone Gap, VA.  I have been 
trying to monitor these nests for the past 3-4 years.  I have not accrued any 
serious data however.  It has been interesting to watch the birds and take some 
interested people to view them.

Several years ago, I would regularly encounter road-killed screech owls (for 
lack of a better term). Tried to slow down and look for leg bands.
As I traveled back from Beech Mountain to Bristol last night, I realized it had 
been quite some time since I have seen a screech owl on the roadside, or had 
one stoop in front of the car. 

When did you see your last road-killed screech owl? With what frequency do/did 
you see them?
