Tweeters,

Today I ventured to the West 90, primarily to see the Gyrfalcon ( it would
have been a life bird for me). No such luck, but I was amazed to see no
less than 8 Short-eared Owls fluttering around the fields hunting. I've
never had such great looks at them. It definitely made the trip from
Bellevue worthwhile.

Also seen were one male Northern Harrier, eight female Harriers, one
Peregrine Falcon, four Bald Eagles, two Rough-legged Hawks and numerous
Red-tailed Hawks - all by simply panning my scope 360 degrees!
