For what it's worth...
searched an hour at dusk Tue and 4 hrs this morning to no
avail, but one glimmer of hope I’ll pass along for any
further searchers :
at 8:30 this morning came upon a mob of crows in pines behind
#122 Berry Patch Lane (very near the original Sun. sighting);
never saw object of mobbing, but from the prolonged, focussed nature
of the activity believe it was an owl (hawks usually fly under that barrage,
owls often stay put) -- would’ve been a natural roost for a Barred, don’t
know about Snowy; 2 hrs. later returned to same area and crows were still
present, now in pines behind #136 Berry Patch, squawking back-and-forth to
each other but not mobbing. Intrigued by proximity to Sun. sighting but
otherwise don’t know that it means much.(also, spoke to 3 dog walkers who
said they’d seen owls recently in vicinity but one specifically identified
“Barred Owl”, and other 2 couldn’t even describe any useful specifics ).
Took another drive-by late afternoon and found signs posted through
neighborhood requesting info on owl, so maybe something will come of that.
