This evening there was a single long-eared owl in my yard. The surprising thing was that it was my 12-year old son that found it. He was playing in the yard and saw it fly in and land in a tree. He ran in the house and got me. Unfortunately as I got to it, the bird flew and we were unable to relocate it. I told him he needs to find a saw-whet now. Elsewhere, I had a Louisiana waterthrush at Hell Hollow Park and a savannah sparrow in my yard.
