Urban Nature: Barred Owls in Boston
I would be derelict in my duties if I did not pass on the Boston Birders' report of two Barred Owls in downtown Boston. One is in the Public Garden, not too surprising since this park is fairly large and is full of the kind of big old trees that big owls like. The other, however, has staked out a callery pear tree at tourism ground zero: Quincy Market. If you are in town, you should probably go check it out.
