Re: [Maine-birds] Barn owl question

I know of two other Maine Barn Owl records, although it appears neither were submitted to the Bird Records Committee:

1) According to an unpublished reference, there was a report in the Maine Field Observer (sorry, I don’t have the specific citation) stating a Barn Owl was observed 11 January 1961 in Southwest Harbor. “Mann was the observer.” This appears to refer to Rocky Mann, of Bar Harbor. 

2) Former Acadia National Park rangers Tony Linforth and True Muzzy reported a single bird after dusk at Sand Beach while they were doing a program.

Hi Kit,   

    According to an eBird search there has never been a sighting in Maine. Perhaps 15 to 20 years ago I remember hearing a birder say they saw one near the Wells, ME. exit.  I do not remember any other details.

 

Happy birding

My daughter in Bangor wants to now if there have been barn owl sightings there. How far north in Maine are they? Thanks. Kit
