"Jamaa  and Mike" said they have had a BARN OWL in their back yard for  two
days.  They have watched it fly and have been able to approach it  within
several
feet.  They are obviously concerned about the bird and  said they would
appreciate it if a biologist or Audubon member would come  to their home to
assess the
situation.  They said they have many  photographs of the bird and they will
e-mail them to me this evening.   Although the bird has flown Jamaa was
concerned
that it may be injured and  may need attention......


I called the home number and left a message suggesting that  they call Second
Chance Wildlife Center in Gaithersburg (301.926.WILD) to see if  someone
there can go over to assess the bird.
