Wow, ebird shows a few records from Roseburg Oregon south in February, but

This is just a quick note to alert people that a SNOWY OWL was

photographed this morning and posted on Ebird. I have since learned that

the bird was near Lawrence and Tyler and was being harassed by crows. It is

currently MIA but could be anywhere in the vicinity or neighboring beaches.

Midday, John Piatt and I had a YELLOW-BILLED LOON at Point Wilson. This

bird ended up flying southwest beyond Port Townsend and Indian Island

towards Fort Townsend.

If anyone sees the owl, please post to Tweeters. Thank you!

Tweets ? We had a moisty misty morning today, with only a brief clearing
>
mid-morning but mostly a lot of gray. Not terribly birdy, and there were
>
long stretches with virtually nothing seen or heard. But the relatively
>
warm temps, the moderately dry conditions, and the low wind allowed us to
>
track down a few birds.
>
>
Highlights:
>
a.. Greater White-fronted Goose ? one in a flock of 450+ Cackling
>
Geese. First of Year (FOY)
>
b.. Northern Pintail ? two drakes below the weir (FOY)
>
c.. Ruddy Duck ? a late scan of the lake turned up two females in the NE
>
corner
>
d.. Twelve species of duck and three species of goose for 15 species of
>
waterfowl total
>
e.. Barn Owl ? Matt had one calling on the windmill at 5:30 ? first one
>
there in a very long time
>
f.. Red-breasted Sapsucker ? one east of the mansion
>
g.. Bushtit ? more than a half-dozen being very elusive in the willows
>
below the weir. Amazingly FOF
>
h.. Western Meadowlark ? I think we had 3 total
>
We also had 5 RIVER OTTERS seen from the Lake Platform in the slough, and
>
our first turtles of the year ? one each of Red-eared Slider and Painted
>
Turtle at the Rowing Club.
>
>
The biggest highlight today was the number of species SINGING: Anna?s
>
Hummingbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Marsh Wren, Bewick?s Wren, American
>
Robin, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, WESTERN MEADOWLARK, and Red-winged
>
Blackbird. The Great Blue Herons were hanging around actually in the
>
heronry trees (V ? Visiting Nest Site).
>
>
Misses today included American Wigeon, Virginia Rail, Cooper?s Hawk,
>
Northern Shrike, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Purple Finch, and
>
Pine Siskin.
>
>
Despite that long list of misses, we managed 56 species. More than usual
>
were detected by only 1 or 2 people and/or were heard-only, however.

Still, not a bad day.
