short eared owl

[JMSmith]

Has anyone been to the airport lately to see if the short eared owls are still there??  I will have an opportunity to head over there tomorrow and wondered if they were still around.

Thanks!!

Bill Dalbec and I were there last Thursday or Friday when a trapper was setting up at the MACAir end of the runway where the owls have been.  Our guess is that he was successful and the birds have been relocated (I hope) to a safer place.   We've not seen any of them, nor the harrier hawks, on several excursions over the past couple days.
