January walks and working bees - and owls!

Chris & Helen are happy to share this photo of these delightful Boobooks with us. Just like the Boobook at Strathnairn last year the owls were discovered because their guano had collected on the ground below the tree. Obviously Mt Rogers would have Boobooks, but knowing where they roost is always the riddle. We've heard them regularly this summer calling "Mo-poke" from mid-Flynn but not known which tree hosted them. Are these the same birds I wonder?

Imminent events at Mt Rogers that might interest you are:

GUIDED WALK on Sunday 15th January from the Wickens Place carpark at 9am,

GUIDED WALK on Thursday 19th January from the Wickens Place carpark at 9am,
each for about two hours.

WORKING-BEE on Sunday 22nd January from 8am if hot.

WORKING-BEE on Monday 6th February from 9am.
Meeting places to be announced later.
The recent mowing has altered the priorities a bit but we may continue with work against African lovegrass if the seeds haven't dispersed by then.

For the GUIDED WALKS wear long pants, sturdy footwear, hats, sunscreen and bring water to drink + a snack. If you have binoculars & want to take photos bring the respective lenses!
