The Barred Owl was in a slitely different area than where we heard the
Screech Owls. I can say that we got no Screech Owl responses where the
Barred was. The Barred Owl made no vocalizations that we could hear. We
did relocate one of the Screech Owls, in the spot that we frist heard it,
after we saw the Barred Owl.
