But you're great with phone calls, Dan!
 
 
Joe and I followed up on your call by hiking for about 35 minutes down the  
trail and then successfully hitching a ride in a pick-up truck the rest of the  
way to the owl. It was perched on top of a dune and remained there  placidly, 
other than opening and closing its eyes and turning its head, for the  
entirety of our visit. We shared the sighting with the truck driver and  passenger, 
who were properly awed and respectful, and then went further from the  bird 
(closer to the water) and sat on some driftwood to enjoy it a little  longer.
 
 
The truck driver thought we were less than two miles down, but it took a  
full hour to walk back with only brief stops, one for footwear adjustment and a  
few to admire birds (Snow Geese, Gannets, Red-throated Loons, and a  
Sanderling).
