So, we should have some little balls of feather around the first week of March. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Stasz [mailto:Jlstasz@AOL.COM] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 10:31 AM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Great Horned Owls in Odenton Hi Folks! When two Great Horned Owls are calling and you can hear two distinct pitches, it is a pair "duetting". The lower pitched bird is the male and the higher pitched is the female. I am not certain which Atlas Code to use "P", "T", or "C", but in any event you can list these as "Probable". Sometimes you will hear two males calling from different areas. Both will have the same low pitch. These should have the Atlas Code "X" and be listed as "Possible". Good Birding!
