Some nice looks at Short-eared Owls, etc.
Filed Under Owls, Spring Migration, Winter Birds |
A half-hour spent at Sunset at Jake’s Landing turned up no fewer than 4 Short-eared Owls. One obliging individual perched up o a post just across the channel from the boat-ramp for a good long while.
The blackish Roughleg which has been hanging out there was in the very same cedar it has been, east of the boat-ramp. 8-9 Harriers were also fairly easy to see as they coursed the Salt Marsh, and Great Horneds were hooting well before Sunset.
Otherwise the numbers of Robins up and about and moving around to roost today was impressive, hundreds were here or there, who knows how many there were all told.
