Greetings all,
Today we ran a similar route to Sunday (when we saw at least 33 GGOs).  We
traveled on Barns Spring Road --> CR 24 --> CR 137 --> Alma Razor Road -->
Lake Lena Reservation --> Markville --> Duxbury.  We saw 29 GGOs today. 
The concentration of owls was different today, with few at Lake Lena and
many around Barns Spring Road.  

My sister reports that last evening a large owl attempted to carry off her
Welch Terrier puppy on LaBelle Isle on East Rush Lake.  The puppy was
rescued, unfortunately for the owl.
