Owego Wetland Complex

[Tim Houghton]

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
