Hi All,

We are postponing this evening's Owl Prowl until next Saturday (9 April, 6:00 PM), assuming that the date will be okay with Eastern Neck Refuge staff. If you have friends who don't have online access or don't check their e-mail often please inform them for us. If you have not looked outside or heard the pattering on the roof, it is indeed raining out there today and the forecast is now for the unpleasantness to continue through the evening into tomorrow. Not only will it likely be raining, the detailed online forecast predicts winds in excess of 10 mph this evening. Owls do not like geting wet or calling in the wind. We could offer a frog trip but people don't like the wind and rain either (as the old fiddle tune goes). So let's reload and go for next week.

Good Birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin
