Comments: The Good family celebrating Madeleine's 12th birthday with a walk around Beech Mountain. Barred Owls duetting at the end of our walk adding to the party we were having. Male and female territorial calls after I called. They began with the lower pitch male call and then joined by the higher pitch female. The male approached to about 75 feet than flew off through the woods. Yellow-rumped warblers were softly calling and responded nicely to phishing. A two Owl Day on my daughters B-day.
