[va-bird] Montressor Owls

I cut out of work a bit early to try to get a look at the Short-Eared Owls 
today.  Arrived at 5:45 and it was very quite.  Then at 6:00 on the nose, 
eight SEOWs (what do you call them...a kettle?) flew in from the west and 
settled into a hunt in the field only 50 yds from the road.  Got a nice 
look of one perching on the power pole and some close low-level 
swoops.  They began to dispurse, hunting in different fields, and by 6:20 
they were all but gone.

Also heard a Woodcock peent and twitter once in the distance SW of the SEOW 
field while waiting for the owls.

Thanks,
