Dave,
The Red-wing numbers were back up to 12 yesterday along with two Common
Grackles, and early this morning before daybreak I heard a Barred Owl call near
the house - probably the same one I heard before. The goldfinch numbers are up
to around 50.

Roger,
You're outdoing me on Redwings so far. I haven't seen more than 10 or so at
our feeders. I have heard a Barred Owl calling recently from the woods above
the barn.

The Red-winged Blackbird count in my yard has jumped to 28. They were
eating everything in sight until a Cooper's Hawk chose a perch at the edge of
the woods. The Red-wings left and this morning only one was hanging around.
On Monday night as Lynda and I were traveling home on Slate Creek Lynda
spotted a Barred Owl perched beside the road almost at eye level. I didn't see
it very well, so we turned around and came by it again. I slowed as we got to
it, and the owl was facing away from us, but turned to peer at us as we went by.
Last night near midnight I heard the call of a Barred Owl here on the
mountain. It called only a few times then fell silent. I was hoping it would
continue calling so I could fall asleep to the sound, but it wasn't to be. It
was still nice to hear it, even briefly.
