All:
 
Yesterday, Saturday, a Short-eared Owl flew over the “Black Rail” birders 
assembled at Palo Alto Baylands, near the time of high tide.  It flew over high, 
and interacted with some other birds on its way east over the boat-launch 
ramp.  Today, another SEOW flew across low, twice, also along the same route and 
near the time of high tide.  On its second, harrier-like, pass it landed on 
the last, flooded land before the bay proper.  It provided long-time views in 
many scopes, with powers up to 100x.  We watched it look around, preen, move 
slightly when bothered by a raven, etc., for at least 45 Minutes, and it was 
still there when I left.
 
I wonder if this is not normal hunting behavior of SEOWs at the time of 
extreme high tide.   I, personally, intend to look closely at anything flying 
somewhat like a Northern Harrier on the next new moon high tides around January 10. 
 Another reason for this e-mail is to see if I’m still causing “apostrophe 
catastrophe” for some people receiving my e-mails from SBB.
