No ,really it was. Last night 5 of us went out into the late night gloom to do the Maine Owl Monitoring Project. The survey has been in jeopardy for this weekend do to the forecast. And last night was looking good enough to give it a try. The Girls Gone Wild team headed out from our rendezvous point at 11:30 pm. My team left a few minutes later. It went downhill from there. Our first stop, you could hear the window blowing higher up the mountains. By the second stop, I called it, you couldn't hear the recording 20 feet away. The snow just added to the night.
We have until the 9th of April to complete the survey, the weather ,however looks not very cooperative.
