All-
Bruce LaBar, Marcus Roening, Gene Revelas and myself headed up to Sunrise on
Mount Rainier tonight (9/24) for some owling. Weather was nice, cool and
crisp and windless, which was a nice plus. Not to mention a beautiful moon
with clear skies.
We heard 2 BOREAL OWLS near the lodge between 9:00-9:45PM that would respond
well to our immitations of it's "skeew" call. It gave that call plus
several other various staccato hoots.
We also had 3 more Boreals down the road away from the lodge where the road
makes a big "U" shaped turn, at about 10:15PM.
A very good evening with very vocal owls.

Cheers and Good Birding
