Greetings!

Short ears are still being seen at Big Island WA.  I was there from 4:30
on and started seeing them at 5:30.  The owls have turned more Dark
brown and white. There IS a little rufous  left in them, but not much.
Pretty neat to see that type of change in them, must be blending
in...:-D  4 were over at the shed on 203.

The usual Hawks were there as well.

Horned Larks were present.  As well as 3 Female pheasant.  But the big
number species of the day were the tree sparrows.  There was a mob of
them over in the switch grass on Keener Rd.  Over 100 easily.  All were
feeding on the seeds there. Every time a car went by, they flew up into
the air and it reminded me of a swarm of starlings. :-D

Got a few decent shots over the week, here is link to bucket:
