Phil,

As an addition to Mark Hoffman's owl success - must have been a good CBC season for owls.  I don't know what the totals for the Elkton CBC were, but Bill Pfingsten and I bagged 11 screechies in about 2 hours in our territory, along with a nice staked-out Barn Owl (new for the count, I believe)
