While taking a walk in the snow today at the Ano Strip mines, mobbing crows 
caught my attention. I turned to see what all the fuss was about and found a 
SHORT-EARED OWL being harassed by approx. 15 crows. It began climbing higher 
and part of the crows split off. They had gone after another Short-eared Owl 
that had come up. The owls began climbing higher and the crows finally left 
them alone. Watching them against the blue sky sure was a beautiful sight!
I made a stop to scan the trees at the cemetery hoping for the MERLINS Connie 
and I had seen there last Jan. and was pleasantly surprised to find one. It was 
an adult male.
