Hi all, I hope everyone is aware already, but I thought I'd mention here that several Short-eared Owls, up to 4-5 individuals, have been seen foraging over the runways at the Ithaca-Tompkins airport, usually just before 6pm from about the middle of Snyder Road. They don't come out every night, but seem to be seen more often than not. Thursday night in the fog they were interacting and calling a lot, with four individuals often visible at once.
