Bonnie, Tweeters,

After dipping on Short-Eared Owls last Wednesday at the Skagit - and Samish
Flats, that is Rawlins Road, Jensen Access and West 90, I was about to ask
the same question. This is the first winter, that I have not seen a single
one at any of these locations. It must be a low cycle year on voles. There
seemed to be plenty of Northern harriers though, but maybe they rely more on
blackbirds as prey?
Would anybody knowing of a fairly reliable location in Western Washington
with recent sightings of Short-Eared Owl please post on Tweeters. I am sure
that other birders may be interested!

Thank you!
