A Saw-whet Owl has been calling for an hour now along Massey Draw near my home. It is not their nesting habitat near my home (although they nest in forest within a few miles) but there is a pattern of calling birds in the hogback area here in late winter. This one is calling real steady with little breaks , and it’s a real treat.

I managed to easily call the owl in to my yard. Here is a recording just now. Great looks as it sat in the open talking with me.

I'm planning a couple owl trips up in the hills with DFO in March, but maybe I should just stay home and do them here. It would be easier.

Well, what did you expect, David?? I mean, it WAS Superb Owl Sunday after all... :-)

A northern saw-whet owl got in on the action up here in Boulder Co., too:

The same Saw-whet Owl is calling near my home again tonight at Ken Caryl Valley in JeffCo. And I think there is a good chance I can hear it again on coming nights. So I have just added a simple owling "field trip" to the DFO line up to try near my home on Sat. 2/26 at 7 pm. I ask that only people who have never heard a saw-whet owl sign up. If we do hear it, we have a good chance to see it. **But there are never guarantees. This is an easy chance, so I thought we could take it. Information and registration is here:
