Jolly's Landing, Lake Co
Due to an appt. for PT after work, I didn't arrive at Jolly's Landing until 
noon. Jeff and David Kirschke had a brief encounter with the Ferruginous about 
10:30 yesterday morning when they saw it low over the same field as it was seen 
by Mark. They lost if flying low and away from them.

We watched this area until dark yesterday, with no further sightings of the 
Ferruginous. There were always several Harriers in the area, and an adult and 
juv. Krider's, as well as several other Red-tails including a light-morph 
western bird. The young Krider's put on a fine show, kiting over the area off 
and on all day.

Not much else of note. Several groups of Pelicans, and late in the day a flock 
of geese high overhead held Greater White-fronted, Snow, and a couple of 
Ross's. We stayed until dark and had at least 4, and probably 5, Short-eared 
Owls working over the same field that we had been watching for the Ferruginous. 
On the way out we also had 3 Short-eared along Van Works Rd.

Hopefully the Ferruginous will be seen again. I have posted a few photos, a 
couple of distant shots of the striking young Krider's, and a couple of 
Pelicans overhead.

If interested, the photos are in my Fall 2010 gallery, with the first one 
starting here:
