rl-type call.


Thanks Rip.=20
After listining to the owls on the Peterson Western Bird Songs
CD, I had pretty much narowed it down to either the Barred Owl
or the Spotted Owl.  On the CD the Barred Owl has a "twirl" to its
call but not the spotted.  Martyn sounded pretty confident about it
being a Barred Owl, but from yours and John's comments my
recording did not give enough to make a positive identification.  I
will describe it more in my next post.
