5 SHORT EARRED OWLS!!!!

The last two days just around dusk I have gone in search of the owls and again was not disappointed. 5 came in and hunted and came real close. There was also 2 Rough Legged Hawk circling and hunting. >
The Snowy Owl also put in an appearance and sat up on the pole watching us.
There was numerous American Tree Sparrows and mixed in where some snow buntings.

ARTIC BLAST!!!

The weather is quite nasty and i feel the birds have all burrowed under ground and who would blame them!! Went a drive down to the lighthouse and there was lots of ice so most of the waterfowl was way out. There was the usual group of Long Tails doing there floating down then flying back out. There was also 2 White winged scoters close to shore so I watch them for a little bit. Well the Snowy Owl is still hanging out at the Solar Farm on Blackwell Sideroad. The best was when the four Short Earred Owls came and started hunting across the landfill site.
The weather network says this artic freeze should end by thursday lets hope so!
