I'm so excited I have to tell someone!  I was walking along the
Appalachian Trail this afternoon when I met a young man raking leaves
along an abandoned path that parallels the AT.  Apparently he is
attempting to net Saw-whet owls! I got invited to view the netting tonight
and am trying to rest before heading back up for the night. But I am too
excited to sleep.  If he allows, I will post results tomorrow.  He did
tell me that someone near Toronto, Canada caught 135 last night. That is
supposed to be a large number of owls to capture in one night. I hope they
are headed this way. I now realize I did not catch this man's name.

Warm clothes
sleeping bag
camera charged
flashlight
snacks and water

what else should I take?
