We have barred owls in the pines behind our house every winter. They start around this time of year. They are seldom seen. Is the Merlin ap sufficient for positive ID?
You mentioned blue birds. We had a flock of 12 to 15 birds male and female at our garden bb box 2 days ago. They were going in and out of the house that haeld a brood last year. I too have been seeing the bald eagles along the river near the lower quarry.
Good to hear - they do mostly hang out in the valleys these days. And it occurred to me that the Bald Eagle I saw might be heading toward the quarry. Have you been hearing any Barred Owls? this is one of our target birds for the Christmas Bird Count this Saturday...

For Barred Owls, if you have any doubt about the call, just save the Merlin recording and I can have a look
