    Tips for seeing/finding owls?

    Are there any tips for finding owls? Do they typically hole up in a particular part of a tree (branching point? or dead trees?)? Is there a good time of day (dawn/dusk/night)? I can hear them nearby, but I haven't been able to spot one. Any tips would be great. Thanks!

    Please help identify -- two northern CA birds

    Please help ID. I think one is a cooper's hawk and the other is grey vireo. But there are little details that make me feel less than 100%. Any help would be appreciated. I saw them this past week (mid March) about an hour North of San Francisco. Thanks, -Z
