John and Mrs. Henderson, Roy and Debbie Shannon, ??? Trent, Boyd Sharp, and Gail and Steve Clendenen were treated to a spectacular display by 3 Short-eared Owls and 5 Northern Harriers this evening (Jan. 20) at the site as reported this week by David Trently and Steve Stedmon, .9 mile east of Highway 127 on Ninemile Cross Road in Bledsoe County. The first harrier was seen before 4:00 CST, and the first owl came in at 4:52. Light was good because the sky was only partly cloudy. Each bird appeared first in the field on the north side of the road that has the pond in it. All of the birds were very visible and one owl circled low, just above the group of birders.
