Phil, In response to your questions re. the owl totals we had a combined total of 2.45 hours owling. I had 5 ESOW and 2 GHOW, with Michael having 9 and 7. I owled from about 0510 to 0650, with maybe 6 stops. I try for Barred Owl on this count, which takes about 30 miniutes and cuts down on the totals for the other species. FYI.
