      She said she’s been hearing it around for a few weeks, so maybe it moved in close. I asked her to download the Merlin app and try to get a recording of its calls for me.

        I don’t know which way you go from MA to WV, but in North Jersey, you may want to visit The Raptor Trust if it’s on your way. That’s the first place I went specifically to see owls, and I plan on going back soon. I believe it’s free.

          Oh hey, this is great! I’m actually returning to MA via the coast route because I want to stop by some friends and family on Baltimore on my way back. I’ll be in the perfect position to check that out. I’ll post pics if I do go.

              The irony of those mountains. The one in NJ is actually easier for me to get to as I pass by than the one in WV is to get to from my sister’s house. That doesn’t surprise me actually lol

                Lol makes sense! I didnt look up all the state parks they were going to be in to see where they were, I figured if you recognized the name of one it was close, and if not, you wouldnt. Their main location isnt usually open to the public, but it is June 1, but that’s this weekend, so I figured that wouldnt help either.
