At first, great gray owl sightings were limited to a couple of isolated
reports in mid-January. Then on Saturday, January 29, I heard of two
sightings at separate locations in the park. Later, as Shawn reports
below, sightings really began to pick up even more. Frequent sightings
have continued since then. Polish up your binoculars and come on out!

The week end brought about a number of sightings including two that
were visible from the park office. Park staff has seen them in a number
of locations during the same times the public has seen them else where.
So it is possible we have a reasonable population moving in. If they
were Great Grays I was hearing last Saturday night then there were at
least 4 calling after 10 PM. To me they sounded like great horned but
the whoot was a little off and did not follow the exact pattern I have
experienced before.
Word is getting out in the birding circles with a few people here on
Sunday to try and see them. The bird that sat on top of the blue bird
house and Stop sign near the park entrance was especially easy to see.
