Colleen and Wanda's #fieldnotes mention "A perfect night for owling."
Based on their data they certainly had a great survey. The data forms are very well done, which is appreciated when there is this much data.
See https://www.birdscanada.org/on_owls to learn about the #OwlSurvey project.

Sometimes you drive down the right road at the right time. Friday at 4 pm was one of those times for #OwlSurvey participant Roy.

This roadside Northern Hawk Owl surprised Roy and ... Roy might have surprised the owl. They happened upon each other about 5 km outside of a northern Ontario community.

She is standing beside a snow-covered SUV on a snow-covered road. Behind her are scraggly tall conifers on one side, this forest on the other and behind her is a starry night sky combined with the glowing light of a nearby town.

The power of volunteer collected data!
Sitting in staff meetings & once again am reminded about how much good is accomplished with #volunteer collected #Bird data. For all you #eBird, #NatureCounts, #OwlSurvey #AMWOSurvey #MMPSurvey and #CLLSSurvey folks - never undervalue the work that you do!
