This late afternoon at Shawangunk Grasslands NWR I saw one Rough-
legged Hawk; 6+ Northern Harriers including 3 gray ghosts flying and
hunting together; and 5+ Short-eared Owls.
I heard Barred Owls and caught sight of one flying close to the
parking area off Hogerburgh Road. Also heard a Woodcock (I think).
I got Christine's post about the Gyrfalcon and almost ran over to New
Paltz from the Grasslands but I figured to be just too late as night
was falling. Hopefully tomorrow.
It was my first visit and a great one, evidently a welcome habitat for
SEO.
