Susan Jones, Karin Tanquist, Pat Coy and I, had a fabulous day at Killdeer Plains 
February 23. A list of birds follows. The highlight bird was the Northern Shrike. The Short-eared 
Owls were out in force by 4 p.m., along with Northern Harriers. We watched a harrier harass an 
owl to get the owl to drop its catch. It appeared neither got the meal that the owl dropped. Here's 
what we had on a sunny Saturday:

Red-tailed Hawk 
American Tree Sparrow
Horned Lark
Snow Bunting
Canada Goose
Rock Pigeon
Baled Eagle 
Northern Harrier
