Dear Rob and Tweeters,
?
For some reason, early fall (September and October) is?always the easiest time?to find?this species. I just checked my Skagit County?records; of the 78 times I've found this species here, 28?have been in September and October.?I reckon that's about 36 % of the records during?only 17 % of the year.?There was one calling outside my bedroom window a few nights ago. I don't know why this is, but they start hooting around now.
?
Yours truly,

Gary Bletsch

"Nun," sagte ich, "wenn ich ein Taugenichts bin, so ist's gut, so will ich in die Welt gehen, und mein Glueck machen." Und eigentlich war mir das recht lieb, denn es war mir kurz vorher selber eingefallen, auf Reisen zu gehen, da ich die Goldammer, welche im Herbst und Winter immer betruebt an unserm Fenster sang: "Bauer, miet' mich, Bauer, miet' mich!" nun in der schoenen Fruehlingszeit wieder ganz stolz und lustig vom Baume rufen hoerte: "Bauer, behalt' deinen Dienst!"

>Tonight while at a party in the woods,
there was a repeated single note owl call, which sounded to my ear to be a northern
pygmy owl.? Is? there another owl that I might be confusing it with and if not,
is calling in September a normal thing??
