Hello Tweets,

At 2:00 P.M. today (Thursday) I enjoyed great up-close viewing of a
Short-eared Owl at the Fill. The owl was patrolling low over the meadow
and filled the view in my bins. It didn't take long for a crow to invade
the scene, followed by eight or nine of his closest pals! They strafed the
owl and eventually drove him to the Southeast until he was just a speck in
the sky. Several minutes later he returned for additional great viewing,
only to receive a return performance from the crow clan. The group headed
south and finally disappeared over the Madison Valley area. My total
viewing time was over four minutes; my longest ever for an owl in flight!
