I received this request from Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon
State University.

I have already posted this on both the Washington State Audubon and Rainier
Audubon mail lists.

Please contact Liz Kelly at: lizgabriel at aol.com with any sightings reports.

Thanks!

We are currently seeking Barred Owl records for a project on the
distribution

Oregon and Washington. If members of your birding organization have any
information they would like to contribute to this effort, it would be
