Peter and I only heard a GHO, and a Barred Owl. So for me it was an expected count. At stop #5, we were treated to a coyote pack chorus. About an 1/8 mile from us, which is quite close, but it makes the experience all the better. Didn't see a soul on the road, save for the single Border Patrol car that I passed.
And a raccoon.

I love listening to the coyotes. Any hints of wolves returning to Maine? None yet in Illinois, but given their progress in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I think it's only a matter of time.
We get a few reports of wolves being in Maine every year, it's certainly possible to come in from Quebec . The state declares most of the wolves are "released pets". It would put more pressure on the state to manage wolves, and they really don't want that. But, and there is a;ways a but, the coyotes in Maine are hybrids,coyote/wolf. The size of them are larger than out west, their calls are much deeper in sound. I did see a state publication saying that, but I can't find it right now. I heard one last night, real close, and I see them frequently. These are big pups.
