[cobirds] Boreal Owl (Jackson) on 3/15

David Pettee of Newton, MASS, David Wade of Fort Collins, and I (yet another David) heard one Boreal Owl at about milepost 64 on SR14 about a half mile on the Jackson County side of Cameron Pass on the night of 3/15 at about 9:30pm.  The bird was south of the highway, sort of at the nw flank of the Nohku Crags.  The listening conditions were nearly perfect (very little wind, very little traffic, very few audible jets) and we all, frankly, expected to hear more than one.  The only factor less than ideal was the moon phase.
