[SBB] Short-eared Owl and Ruff

[Jennifer Rycenga <[[email protected]]>]

I had one precious hour of daylight to search for rarities.  I headed for
Alviso, where I saw the Ruff along the entrance road, just south of the new
parking lot near the turn in the road.  I also saw a Burrowing Owl on its
usual hill just north of the RR tracks, and a Barn Owl in the box at the
EEC.  I then motored over to Palo Alto and Byxbee Park, to be in place at
dusk.  I saw a Peregrine Falcon, two Red-tailed Hawks, and two Northern
Harriers.  As darkness fell, one of the Harriers headed west over the
landfill, and a Short-eared Owl arose to challenge its air-rights.  Not the
best look, but it was too cold to wait for a better one!

Two Peregrine Falcons on City Hall in downtown San Jose this morning at
about 7:15.
