Call of the Barred Owl Cache

This is a straight forward multi-cache. In the end you will hopefully find a .30cal ammo can (someone else thought the original .50cal can was better off with them)with assorted swag, cache is available for TB and coin exchange. Off the hammered path and protected by the owls and seasonal mosquito squadron.
The forest is full of birds. These bottoms hold a plethora of bird life through out the year, especially during spring and fall migration. Summer and winter have it’s extremes but there are still year round residents about the bottoms, many which are rarely seen but occassionaly heard.
The Barred Owl is one of Shelby Counties resident Owls most often heard in the early morning and at dusk into the night. A series of calls “ Hoohoo –hoohoo- hoo hahooooo”-like “who cooks for you” several seconds later will usually be answeared by another. I’ve heard upwards of three owls calling to each other at a time on this territory. Try calling them and they might just answer you.
At times the approach(s) can be dry, wet, or very wet depending on recent weather. Snakes don’t bother me but be aware during the “season”. Rat Snakes, Black Racers, Yellow-bellied Water Snakes, Copperheads and Water Moccason’s(Cottonmouth) all inhabit and have been readily seen/photographed in these bottoms. Don’t bother them they won’t bother you. (Just don’t step on one).
If you have the urge to cross the river while in the forest, let me say this. DON’T, think about where you are and where the cache is supposed to be.
This, like five other caches contains one of six required clues that you will need to find
GC209W3 “ Jaybirder’s Roost” Cache.
Good Luck.
