Thanks Bob,
I would like to add that the owls are easy to see if you walk up the
creek bed, and virtually impossible to see [looking through the canopy]
from the track [particularly in the morning when you are looking into
the sun]. A good thing about viewing [and photographing] Powerful Owls
is that they don't flush readily - you can stand 10 metres below them
and they won't move.
Regards, Laurie.

Hi to birdwatchers in the Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) area.
Looking for something powerful to do this weekend?
There was a pair of Powerful Owls roosting over the (dry) creek bed
beside the Slaughter Falls Track in Brisbane today.
Slaughter Falls is accessed from Sir Samuel Griffith Drive which
circles Mt Coot-tha.
See Brisbane UBD Refidex Map 158 J12.
Drive to the end of the access road where there are shelter sheds and
toilets; walk the reasonably signposted track to the Slaughter Falls
Track and start looking from around the viewing deck (you will know
what I mean when you see it).
The birds may be seen from the track if you are lucky and have good
eyesight but it would be better to descend to the creek bed and follow
the line of the creek looking carefully up into the trees overhanging
the creek.
Good luck.
Please note: I don't guarantee they will be there but they were there
today (7 April 2007)............I have the photos to prove it.
Cheers
