Today tried for Short-eared Owls at Ridgefield NWR and Vancouver Lake and Lower River Rd., but could not find any. There were over 20 Northern Harriers working the fields everywhere which may have kept the owls hanging low. Total species seen for the day was 48. High lights included: 34 Great Egrets at Post Office Lake, over 80 Great Egrets just north of 179th St. at it's most western part of 179th which is south of the refuge entrance, all swans identified were Tundras, 1 male Canvasback, many cranes flying around 8 am, but heard only a few in the afternoon, 26 Long-billed Dowitchers at Post Office Lake, 1 Brown Creeper at the photo blind, still Savannah Sparrows on the back half of the loop.
