I would encourage anyone trying for this owl to be extremely judicious about
playing any owl calls in this area. We need to keep in mind the birder's
code of ethical behavior, and don't want to chase this owl from its chosen
habitat. Please don't play recordings in an attempt to bring the owl in for
a closer look.

Peter,
As we have birded across the country in many locales, sometimes well after
dark, that in general, U.S. Border Patrol officers have been very
respectful/helpful...much more so than local police who have stopped or
hassled us with no good reason. Much easier to engage Border Patrol officers
who seem to have a better sense of humor than police officers who often act
as if we're wasting their valuable time and who seem more interested in
asserting their authority.
