I ran into Pete Wiedmann at Sapsucker Woods this morning and we birded together for a while. Thanks to Pete's sharp eyes we saw a BARRED OWL, which may have been same one reported recently by Diane & Ken (May 1), as well as by Mark Chao (early this morning), and was, I think, in about the same location (Severinghaus Trail). It sat on a branch about six to eight feet off the ground and watched us for a moment before flying off. This was probably between 10 and 11am. Another highlight of the outing was a CERULEAN WARBLER foraging high in a tall tree (aspen, I think) on the northeast side of the access path (power/airport right-of-way?) behind the far parking lot. It was sharing the tree with a BLACKBURNIAN.
