Fellow Birders,

     Was back at the Rehoboth restoration area, just north of New
Lexington, in Perry County.  The Short eared owls were again quite
cooperative, if the weather wasn't.  Saw five owls and three Harriers.
 This time I had my camera and got some excellent photos, despite the foggy
conditions.

     Another difference this time was the number of birders present.  At
least three groups of birders were in the area this afternoon, and possibly
more.  This is in part because of this list serve, and also because of the
Perry County Tribune running a copy of my post from last week.  Turns out
there are birders in Perry County who want to know where the birds are.

     Before this is all over Rehoboth will be a prime birding area.  CAUTION:
Until that time, please note that parts of this area are still being mined.
 I would recommend birding only on Sunday, or you might get run over by a
coal truck.  No bird is worth that.
