I completed my first round of owl surveys last night, beneath a crystal clear, northern Minnesota sky.  My survey protocol consists of:  1/2 mile intervals and 3-min listening periods.  Owls are identified according to song and/or call.  For the curious, I have included 2003, 15-31 March survey results, to allow comparison with current efforts. 


                Species                                 15-31 March 2003                 15-31 March 2004

                Northern saw-whet owl                       52                                       10
                Barred owl                                         15                                       14
                Great-horned owl                                5                                        2

My nocturnal habits are supported by the Superior National Forest and the MOU and its members.
