Hi,
I've been on an unsuccessful quest the last few months to find an owl in the
Cleveland area; no luck with the Great Horned at Sandy Ridge; no luck with
the Short Eared at Frohring Meadows; no luck with the Barred at North
Chagrin. Today, I'm sorry to report, I found my first Barred Owl, dead near
a window at my parents' house in Russell (Geauga County). I reported the
find to the ODNR (and sent some pictures to them so they could confirm the
species---in my inexperience I mistook it for Short Eared). This was a
really sad and strangely ironic experience. Thought I'd share it with the
list.
The day *began *well enough with a very snowy sighting of one of the Bald
Eagles at Sandy Ridge; he/she was perched on a branch halfway up a tree very
near the trail where the forest opens into the wetland area. Red Shouldered
Hawk heard but not seen.
