Greetings---I was out at dusk last evening in a different part of Coitsville Twp. (Mahoning Co.) than the night before, this time in Atlas block 43D7CE.  I heard 4 Am. woodcocks and another barred owl.  At around 5:30 this morning, I happened to wake up early while it was still dark.  I heard hooting...2 great horned owls calling back and forth.  Soon, a barred owl joined in!  By 6:00 AM the show was over.  All this pretty darn close to the house, also in block 43D7CE.  That makes 3 barred owls and 2 great horned owls in the last 36 hours, all within 5 miles of home, and with only moderate effort.  It looks like A. Boone was right on when he posted that this is a good time to listen for local owls!!   Later, Craig
