While scouting around for Horned Larks and Longspurs north of Winchester, BJ 
and I came across some good raptors. The list follows:

Cooper's  - 1
Red-tailed - 5
ROUGH-LEGGED - 1 (light phase)
Kestrel - 4
SHORT-EARED OWL - 2
Horned Lark - 75+
(no Longspurs nor Buntings)

The owls were hunting together and surprisingly, were right amongst a group of 
houses, at one point flying right over the top of a
house.

Not bad for a 90 minute jaunt!
