> Hi,

> I got home yesterday from a course in Halifax, and Liz told me she  
> had heard a pair of Barred Owls calling from some woods close to  
> our house (north of Kentville). So we went over at dusk, and I  
> successfully called in a single, silent Barred Owl, twice. So this  
> morning I went back, this time with Bernard Forsythe, to see if we  
> could find a nest. No luck, although we found a roosting area, with  
> "whitewash" and some pellets, on the ground. But we did find an  
> active Red-tail"s nest, which I will monitor over the next few  
> weeks. Also present were a F. N.Cardinal that flew out of a thick  
> clump of bushes and behaved as if a nest was nearby, + A Black-and- 
> White Warbler, several Yellow-rumps, and several Blue-headed Vireos.
>
> At home we now have 2 active Robins nests with eggs.
