> I found the previously-reported barn owl at Marymoor this evening when he showed up hunting over the heavy grass between the second softball field and the road at about 9:55 p.m. He subsequently flew across the road and worked the periphery of the soccer fields for a little bit before disappearing around 10:05. Great show! My guess is that he hunts these fields almost every night; the only question is where in particular he'll show up -- it's a big place.

That *must* be what my wife, Rose, and I saw two nights ago while walking
home from Redmond Town Center. It flew over the fountain lake just west of
the Town Center. We thought it might be an owl, but we didn't get a close
enough look to say for certain, and I thought it had a bit of a lighter
coloring to it. This would have been a little after 9:30 on Monday night.
It was flying generally East.
