Frank and I then went to the Elm Picnic Area of Ed Levin County Park where we found a LONG-EARED OWL in the same evergreen tree where Roy Carlson found one on 3/10 (high up inside a smaller conifer on the golf course side of the open grassy area just beyond the parking lot). We then showed the Owl to a couple birders from the Midwest who had been looking for one earlier. A briefly seen selasphorous Hummingbird then managed to eluded us. However, an adult, all red backed male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD was later well seen in a eucalyptus tree northeast of Sandy Wool Lake. A female selasphorous Hummingbird was in the same tree as were two males and a very lightly marked female ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD (she looked really weird). At one point an OSPREY passed over the park heading north, a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK wasn't far behind and WHITE-THROATED SWIFT were seen over the hillside. A second, unsuccessful try for the Franklin's Gull at CCFS revealed a "better" mix of Gulls than was there in the morning (mostly smaller rather than mostly larger Gulls). It could show up later this afternoon but it doesn't look good at this point :-( Take care, Bob Reiling, 1:58 PM, 3/19/03 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
