Visited Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area today with Matt Carity and Heather Chute. We had a great day, meeting our owl quota. In the cedar by the owl pines we saw a Long-eared Owl, flushed a second, and flushed a Short-eared Owl that had also been roosting in the cedar. That was a first for me. Later we found 2 more Long-eared Owls in the pine grove. We saw several (4ish) Rough-legged Hawks, a few Northern Harriers, plenty of Bald Eagles, and a GOLDEN EAGLE in juvenile plumage. We got great looks at it perched fairly near the road and then flying. No Northern Shrike at the reported Delaware Wildlife Area location, but a great day nonetheless.
