Sorry for the late report. No Snowy or Short-eared Owls were present in the
late afternoon to dusk period on Saturday, 1/07/06. The last time I saw
either species was last Monday, 1/02/06.
There are plenty of other reasons to visit the area however: Northern
Shrike, Rough-legged and Red-tailed Hawks, Northern Harrier, Peregrine and
Merlin, a lone Western Meadowlark, too.
