Hi,
This morning (Sat) at about 8 a.m., I spotted the Rough-Legged Hawk on a
power pole on the north side of NE 124th (Redmond) between Willows Rd. and
Woodinville/ Redmond Rd. In the past week, I've also seen an American
Kestrel twice perched on these power lines.

But that's not all...

Later this morning, Marc Hoffman and I saw a Short-Eared Owl and two
Northern Harriers hunting in the big open fields on the south side of the
same road. We got very good looks and saw one dramatic encounter when the
owl dove at the harrier.

We also saw three Red-Tailed Hawks and three Bald Eagles perched in several
locations throughout the area on the south side of NE 124th and down Willows
to around 116th.

Marc might be providing a link to photos of some of these guys if he got any
good shots.
