Joe and Sue live about a kilometre from Highfields Falls where the owls bred last year. Have spoken to Joe and am confident with their ID. This is also a new bird for Autumn 2008 locally and the Challenge.From: Joe & Sue Scanlan <suescanlan@bigpond.com> Subject: Powerful Owl Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:43:39 +1000

Hi Mick
Sue and I believe we have heard the Powerful Owl - 12,13 and 16th April from our house in Nichols Road Highfields.
We have a Simpson and Day Bird CD with calls. What we heard was a 2-note call, slow long notes, deep and 'soft'.
Cheers
