MN 5/1/01 first light, nothing visible.
Good migration morning, many Barred Owls present as well.
Mixed full canopy woods on the north shore of a lake.
(I like north side lake shores during spring migration at dawn)
N45.35 W83.09
I decided on Saw-whet because of the tonal charecter of the sound
compared to John Feith's (of this group) saw-whet.

But then, Barb lives with saw-whets and if she says it isn't it
probably isn't. And Mark lives with a Coopers so if he says it is a
Coopers it probably is one of them.
Maybe I will go with "Super Chicken" for now.
