Can you describe roughly where in Dutch Gap you saw the owls (e.g which
trail)?
Thanks!

I birded near Dutch Gap today. The highlight was stunning looks at 2
Barred Owls. They still had some fuzz on their heads; I'm assuming they are
this year's chicks. I tallied 44 species at Dutch Gap, and I tallied 18

back yard borders a lake). Here's the list:
