How did you determine that they were male and female?

An excursion to look for the owls sponsored by Jo Solem and the Howard
County Bird Club on Saturday, February 19th, and led by Jay Sheppard,
yieled 2 SAW-WHET OWLS, probably a female and a male.

The female was spotted in a pine stand along RT 97 just inside Howard
County near the Patuxent State Park parking lot. The male was seen in the
pines off Annapolis Rock Road. Evidence of Long-eared Owls was also found
at the Annapolis Rock Road location.
