Greetings,

Yesterday we had inspected the Lorain County Airport area y hoping to
find the short eared owls in a culvert, snag of dead trees , brush or
among the hedge rows. Nothing but then it was Friday and workmen were
working at the houses being constructed along albrecht. After about
an hour we noted two rough legged hawks on Oberlin Road and several
Red Tailed Hawks before we headed back to Wakeman.

Thanks to Ohio Birds, I just had to take another trip to the Lorain
County Airport that evening. . As noted, a little after 7:30 pm the
Short Eared Owls appeared in the designated location. -Fowl Road open
field at the intersection of Albrecht. At that time, there were two
other cars waiting patiently.  We were all treated to amazing flight
patterns and views until it was too dark to track them.  Two took off
South over the airport field, while the third flew West over the
houses toward Oberlin Road. We spotted it at the intersection of
Oberlin and Albrecht heading East back toward Fowl. It was a
spectacular evening which also included beautiful scenes of a pair of
Northern Harriers hunting in the Fowl Road field.
Happy Birding

Dorothy & Doug
