Yesterday, Feb. 1, my mom, David Hollie, and I went up to try for the Short-eared Owls. We arrived at 5:00 EST. One Northern Harrier was seen on a fence post and then flying and hovering for the next hour. By 6:10, we were about to give up on the owls. However, at 6:14, one finally flew up to a fence post, then we spotted two more flying in the field to the right. Then another in the closest tree behind the pond. We were able to get good scope views of the one in the tree. By 6:22, they were gone. This was a lifer for all of us.
