Hi All, Late in the afternoon on 4/24, Patrick Horan and I photographed a Short-eared Owl as it headed north over the Pelham Landfill. There was also an adult male Blue Grosbeak. The birds were seen from the gravel road along the southwest side of the landfill. The Grosbeak was in view very briefly, but I got some bad photos before it was chased off by a Red-winged Blackbird. I could not relocate the bird after that, but I don't think it left the area, so it's possible the bird may continue there.
