Last night I recorded SEVEN SHORT-EARED OWLS, two ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, and one RED-TAILED HAWK on Veteran Hill Rd in Veteran (Chemung county). The owls were out by 5:30 and were seen flying over hay fields and a shrubby area, about a 1.5 miles north of Danns Blvd (right by where Google Maps places Church Hill Rd, which is no longer a viable road). Lots of good views as the owls were close to the road for the majority of the time. Kaytee
