Sorry for the slow response. I didn't get to my email yesterday.

I saw the owl in the SE quadrant of the park on Thursday. On Friday, I =
spent two hours walking most of the Eastern half of bridle trails =
without any luck. Apparently Thomas Weir spotted in the in the NW =
quadrant on Saturday. So I heartily agree with him that the best plan =
is to ask riders and others where they have seen the owl. =20

Good luck,
Steve

Steve, where did YOU see it? I have a couple hours to look for it
tomorrow but it would take longer than that to thouroughly cover Bridle
Trails so I might as well start in a likely location. Has anyone else =
on
Tweeters seen this bird?

Parenthood sure cuts into the birding time. I am eagerly looking =
forward
to what will probably be an unsuccessful owl search in the rain :-)
