Subject: [ia-bird] Owego Wetland Complex
The moderate temps and low wind made birding at Owego a truly enjoyable
experience late today.

More Rough-Legged hawks were hovering, flying, and perching than I have
ever found here previously, including at least two dark morphs. Widespread.
I put down 8 in my checklist, but there were more.

Three Short-Eared owls popped up after (unfortunately) sunset. They were
close and one flew right over my head. Another I only heard.

I wish this place were closer to me.

Best Birding Wishes, Tim
