First time in the many years I?ve been visiting this refuge that I?ve seen two Short-Eared Owls at the same time. They were putting on a great show near the dike trail, interacting with up to four Northern Harriers. Also got a glimpse of an adult Great Horned Owl, there were two Peregrines perched on the same snag. And on a tree near the river I spotted three mixed age Bald Eagles and a Red-Tailed Hawk perched in the canopy. Great stuff.
