Mary Cay Burger and I drove the gravel roads from Banner L WMA up to Lower Latham Res this afternoon. We ended up on CR 48 on the south side of Lower Latham Res. At 5:15, two Short-eared Owls were hunting on the south side of CR 48 near the connection of the marsh on both sides of the road (near the oil tanks). They tangled briefly in air with a Northern Harrier and the harrier flew off to the east. We left at 5:30 and they were still hunting.
Other highlights were American Kestrel - 5 Red-tailed Hawk - 7 Northern Harrier - 5 Great-horned Owl - 1, and 1 on nest American Tree Sparrow - 3 Red-winged Blackbird - thousand +! Signs of spring? Thanks to all who keep the Short-eared Owl info up to date! Kay Kayleen A.
