Where is Boe Road? It would be helpful to have an area name along with the road info.

Two weeks ago we saw a Short-Eared Owl flying low over the fields between Highway 20 and Crockett Lake on Whidbey Island. It perched on a sign for a while. This was late morning, and we saw it again a little later in the same vicinity. We watched several Northern Harriers there over 2 days as well, both male and female.
