Texbirders,
Sean Byrne commented that such reports often end up being Barn Owls. I
agree with him that is usually the case. But... if folks up that way are
out birding they might want to swing by Lake 'o the Pines and they should
check the area where the bird was spotted. It would be a wonderful find.
Thanks
Dennis
