[SBB] Continuing Short-eared Owl

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This evening, 12/20/06, both Dean Manley and I were wandering the 
hills of Byxbee Park and eventually ran into each other as we focused 
on the continuing SHORT-EARED OWL.  I saw it first at the dump edge 
about 1620 hr. (15 min before sunrise), as it engaged to Northern 
Harriers.  A bit after sunset I saw it flying around Byxbee and ran 
into Dean.  He had seen it earlier, but I'm not sure when.

Also, I had a strange falcon whizz by, but I didn't get satisfactory 
looks.  Regardless of species, it appears to be regrowing its tail 
feathers, which is what gave it a funny look.  It was extremely dark, 
maybe Peale's subspecies.  But maybe just a dark Merlin.
