Title: Locating Screech Owls near Brickworks
Post by: dodo on May 29, 2016, 12:58:40 AM

To locate Screech Owls near the Brickworks I walk along the Beltline trail and listen for the sound that groups of them make.I recorded it a couple of years ago and posted it at   https://archive.org/details/ScreechOwlvocalization (https://archive.org/details/ScreechOwlvocalization)   This week I can hear them around the Governor's Road bridge just north of the Brickworks. I can hear another group from the Beltline trail 2 utility poles south of the Glen Road bridge. They are on the side of the ravine below Beaumont Road. I have also been able to see owls from both groups.

I would look for them starting around 9:15PM and bring a flashlight.They suddenly become active when its getting dark.They could show up before 9:00PM though.
