No one can finesse the 'net like Mr. Coffey. Considering the angle and
detail of the photo of the barn that Wallace has so nonchalantly shared
with us, I think it would behoove all of us to consider more carefully
what we are or are not wearing when we step out in the early morning to
listen to the dawn chorus. :-)

Subject: [Bristol-Birds] new Barn Owl nesting location in Sullivan Co.
A new location for nesting
Barn Owls was found today
in Sullivan County, TN.
It is located on the Crumley
Farm on Paddle Creek Rd.
In response to my asking
about any known owls in
the area, I was told about
these birds.
Carolyn and I went there
2 Aug 2009. The owner
had, in response to my
advance call, unlocked a
gate and left it open. The
roadway was access to
the needed vantage point
to see these owls. It was
nearly dark when we arrived at 8:57 p.m. One owl was perched in the
opening
of a silo which is the one in this photo that has a black hole or spot
on top.
At 9 p.m. (3 min. later) a second flew from within an perched in the
sam
e opening.
The two began to call rather frequently. Within seconds, a third owl
joined them.
They were staggered by size and each was slightly different from the
other.
At 9:03 p.m. the middle-sized owl (the one that was perched alone when
we first
arrived) flew off to the east. It flew high above the ground. It went
out of sight.
At 9:07p.m. the smallest flew away and at 9:09 p.m. the largest left.
All flew in
the same direction. So it appeared that they either went to a common
hunting
area or parents birds may be in that direction. Maybe both. We were
not
joined by the owner so we closed and locked the gate. We called the
owner's
phone and left a message about our findings.
Let's go birding . . .
