WVDNR Seeks Information on Barn Owls

Posted by: Holly Canfield on Wed, 23 Jul 2003 01:45:02 (1373 reads)

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources is interested in determining the status of barn owls in the state, according to Kieran O�Malley, wildlife biologist with DNR�s Wildlife Resources Section. Although barn owls are declining in the eastern United States, WVDNR biologists located six new breeding sites in the eastern panhandle during 2001-2002. �These new nesting sites have been very productive and we are interested in determining where all the young owls are going,� said O�Malley.

But the birds that we have missed so much this winter are finally returning to the mountain state. My wife and I have been members of the Brooks Bird Club for a few years now and find birding to be a most enjoyable addition to our picnics and other outings to the lakes and forests around us.

A few days ago we spent two days traveling to Teter Lake, Pleasant Creek and Stonewall Jackson Lake.

Witness the annual fall migration of many species of birds of prey as they travel
along the eastern flyway that passes through Monroe County. This migration typically
begins in early September and runs through October; however, late September usually
brings the most sightings. Birds seen last year include bald eagle, golden eagle,
osprey, peregrine falcon, northern harrier, goshawk, most eastern species of hawks,
other migrating songbirds and the first ever sighting in West Virginia of a
gyrfalcon. More than 5,000 hawks were counted in all for the 2,000 season, more than
3,500 of which were seen in September.
