Last night, for the second night in a row, I was able to spot at minimum two
(2) SHORT-EARED OWLS at the Airport.
They were seen at varying times and distances, foraging over the fallow fields
within the confines of the Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, as viewed
from Snyder Road behind
I had to pick up my daughter at the Ithaca Airport last night, so I went early

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

Last night, Joe Wetmore and I watched 5 short-eared owls plying the fields
on both sides of Lake Road leading west from Long Point Winery, just south
of Aurora. We spotted the first one around 5 pm. So graceful, and the white
of their wings flashing brilliantly.

On our way back from Montezuma this afternoon, Joe Wetmore and I took a

A group of us watched four (unless that fourth one doubled back unnoticed
to join the other three) of the Scofield Road SHORT-EARED OWLS just after

I saw one in the wing at about 1530 today, over fields just south of Aurora off
NYS Rte 90. I and others have seen SEOs there many times in the past over the
years.
Has anyone seen them recently near the Evergreen Cemetery W of NYS 34B on the

Finally made it up to Morgan Road today on the way home from Oswego. About 18
folks were gathered to view the possible evening's flight. After several
distant possibilities and half the group leaving for Carncross Road, we headed

Hi all,
After these first few owls flew by the buildings on Morgan Road (they didn't
come out until about 5:45), Scott Haber, Susan Newman and I decided to head
down to the distant birds near Carncross Road, where we could see birds
fighting with each other and perching from afar.
When we

The Short-eared Owls at Morgan Road put on another nice show for people
tonight, appearing about 5:15 and hunting in some of the close fields, as
well as occasionally sitting up in the trees and poles on the dikes. At
least seven were visible tonight, as well as two Rough-legged Hawks. After
Dave and I did go to Morgan Road today. We got there about 5:15 and were
immediately rewarded with 5 Short-eared Owls. Dave counted a total of ten
owls and saw two successfully with voles. Apparently, there are many
rodents in the fields for them to feast on. The Audubon Educator was there
Gary and I scoured the Ovid area for SHORT-EARED OWLS, but Usually if
you see Northern Harriers, you see Short-eared Owls. There were none of
either species. There was lots of corn in the fields. I think the owls like
hay better. The search is on.
Good Birding,

Yesterday, Gary Kohlenberg and I went to Rafferty Road to scout for SE

I've been seeing, very regularly, 3 short-eared owls on Wycoff Road in Ovid.
This evening, however, there were 4. These owls are quite vocal and it is a
real treat to see them and hear them. Wycoff Road is between Hall Road and
Rock River. Park on Wycoff, just east of Rock River, and look east.
Chuck Gibson reported 3 SEOW from the Wilgoose Grassland after Bob talked with
him.

After lunch I continued to the northern Montezuma complex in search of

We watched 3 short-eared owls and one norther harrier on Rock River

Drove along Rock River Rd in Ovid this evening about 6pm and saw two short
eared owls over the fields just north of the Beardsley farm, which is on the
northeast corner of the intersection of Rock River Rd. and Wycoff Rd. Light
was getting low and I first saw one flying fairly near the road,
