Last night, Sam and I went up into the Bridger Mountains in pursuit of Boreal and Great Gray Owls. Well, as luck would have it the wind was blowing hard enough to eliminate any possibilities of hearing any owl. We did, however, find a lone Long-eared Owl on a fence post along Brackett Creek. Did I mention that we got skunked, or rather, we saw a Striped Skunk – the fastest skunk I’ve ever seen. “Full” trip report at http://www.wildertrack.com/TripSight/ViewTrip.aspx?TripID=286

On Monday, Sam Koenen and I kicked off the 2009 owling season with a loop trip up to Springhill. We were awarded with 2 owl species; Great Horned and Long-eared Owls. This is a wonderful start to the year. A full report is available at WilderTrack.
