Jen--this time of year--Riverside Cemetery and the entire Big Creek Valley gets a fallout of owls. We have an association that is working to promote the rich ecology of our neighborhood.

Greetings all -
One of the most bizarre and surprising observations I've had happened this evening in the driving rain and wind that had been intense all day long. At 4:40 p.m., while headed north on I-77, immediately north of the Fleet Road exit (a few miles from downtown Cleveland), I was shocked to see a SHORT-EARED OWL pumping hard into the wind, heading west. This area is highly urban/suburban. The nearest "green space" would be the Ohio and Erie CanalWay Reservation, about a mile to the southwest. During migration, Short-ears can sometimes be seen during the day, moving across the lakefront, or even heading out over the Lake (i.e. birds flying over the dunes at Mentor Headlands State Park), but typically not (!) observed in this habitat ("the hood") and weather (driving wind and rain).
You never know what the day will bring...
