[va-bird] Short-eared Owls, Rectortown, Fauquier 30 November

Hola,
 
The spot in northern Fauquier County that boasted up to thirty Short-eared  
Owls last winter has at least a couple in the area this year.  I saw two  
Short-eareds there this evening, along with two Northern Harriers, a Red-tailed 
 
Hawk, and a few Bald Eagles.  There were scores of meadowlarks flying about  as 
well. 
 
The location is on Route 624 (Crenshaw Road), a little over a  half mile from 
the intersection with Route 710 (Rectortown Road).  Route  710 runs north off 
of Route 55 at Marshall; Crenshaw is on the right as you  approach the 
village of Rectortown.  On Crenshaw there is a field with a  gazebo type thing 
in 
it, and there is a chain/cable across the driveway  into this place.  You can 
park on the apron to the driveway, and the field  is across the street.  Not a 
lot of traffic here, and the folks that live  nearby have all been pretty 
friendly with me in the past, but there's enough  traffic that you could get 
mowed 
down easily enough if you're not careful.  
 
Cheers, 
 
Todd
