All,
I stopped by Byxbee Park at the end of Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto late afternoon (about 4:45). Several people were already in position when I arrived and said the SHORT-EARED OWL had made a brief appearance before returning to the dump. It finally reappeared, and as others have reported, it tended to forage over the marsh below the hillocks. I watched it long distance before I spotted the second SHORT-EARED OWL coming up from behind much closer. It made it's way overhead toward the Baylands Interpretive Center. I really enjoy the way they fly, like giant moths... Anyway, as I walked back to my car, 2 CLAPPER RAILS foraged in the muddy channel by the restrooms. Several of us watched the birds as they fed out in the open.
