It's one thing if it's a "regular" bird (i.e., not a starling, but not a Cerulean Warbler either), but it's a whole other thing if it's an owl--and not just a Great Horned or an Eastern Screech. <br /><br />John makes a good point--maybe the Raptor Trust people could give you more definite info on the owl in question.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-59244246085521195812010-01-05T21:07:20.193-05:002010-01-05T21:07:20.193-05:00Hi,

I was trying to find contact details but couldn't so I posted.<br /><br />We have just finished a new site for use by the birding community:<br />www.birdingnews.co.uk<br />We are contacting a limited number of people that we hope will let us know what they think about it before we take it out of beta. If you could let me know what you think that would be great.<br /><br />PaulBlueJamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539658886304741592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-53881239498467245332010-01-05T19:14:58.844-05:002010-01-05T19:14:58.844-05:00Ultimately the CBC is about (1) fun and (2) chasin...Ultimately the CBC is about (1) fun and (2) chasing squirrels around the Jamesian tree, but this bird "counts" as present in the count circle on count day.Rick Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801813993105953852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-89355111493018104242010-01-05T03:18:22.443-05:002010-01-05T03:18:22.443-05:00www.vechilecoline.ro

BUT, it was not found on the CBC. It was seen in a Youtube video taken by a friend of one of the participants. So, in that case, the video was seen by a CBC participant.<br /><br />I think you all make valid points. I think I'm just trying to convince myself to count it. Unfortunately, I didn't ask for the gentleman's name, but maybe I could contact Len. We go way back.

Is the man a participant in the count? Is the hunter? At what point do we stop including data on a photo? Say there was a news item that day that filmed a flock of geese, supposed filmed on count day. Do you count them?Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941161274230227274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10864708.post-67077544323814857262010-01-04T11:14:42.192-05:002010-01-04T11:14:42.192-05:00I agree with BirdChick about the mistaken id's...I agree with BirdChick about the mistaken id's, but speak (908-647-2353) to Len Soucy of the Raptor Trust.

You didn't see it yourself and you didn't even see the photo of the injured owl. Also, maybe the photo was taken the day before?<br /><br />Unless you know this guy with the box really well as a birder, you really do not know what his id ability is. Even if he is putting up a screech owl box, he could have been looking at a photo of an injured of what he called a barred owl and it could have been a great gray (think of all the people who claim to know birds and then make one lulu of a mis id--it never ceases to amaze me).birdchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751235120097847798noreply@blogger.com
