Hi,

I went to Ed Levin Park at 4 PM Friday, and most
conveniently Kim Blythe had the two owls staked out. 
I would never have found them in the little 
reamaining time. It was clearly posted near the
entrance that "Park closes at 4:50 PM", and
I did not want to test the rule.

The smaller bird was sedentary and allowed close
approach, providing stunning looks.
The larger one was very flighty and distant.

They neither called nor hunted during that time,
although I've seen Long-eared Owls start calling and
hunting at dusk elsewhere.
It probably wasn't dark enough yet.

It would indeed be exciting to watch them at 
nightfall. Count me in for any such outing.
