At roughly 20-minute intervals, I hear two notes that sound like blue-jay calls, then silence. could a blue jay be calling at night? could it be an owl? there are plenty of large, old trees, including a couple of dense white pines. the night is extrmely warm. any ideas would be welcome regarding ID, or how to look for the bird! thanks, rob Robert Weiner (rweiner@gwu.edu) George Washington University Washington DC 20052 202 994 5981 ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
