I sent it in to the right people but the right people have not done a follow up with me or are not around.....most of the banders I know get back to me within a week or so. Anyhow, Barn Owls scare the crap out of me. It's how they fly and where they fly. I get so stressed out watching them. They are not great at adapting to human presence. In fact, I was helping someone monitor one of the Barn Owls in our area to make sure it was not hit by a car. Hopefully they will have good news for me today. Beautiful shorebirds!

I saw a Golden Eagle last September eating a dead animal in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic and the area was no wider than 8 to 10'. Diesel trucks were flying by. We ended up turning the car round by driving extra miles. I waited until there were no large vehicles coming and made my way toward the Eagle, so that it could fly upward and miss being hit. I then had a bag and removed the dead animal, to which I knew the Eagle would return to. I felt a wee bit better for that day.
