Six Short-eared Owls put on a great display at Lorain Cty. Airport today (1/1/14) - either side of 5 p.m. Either in constant flight low and high, or perching on the perimeter fence along Russia Rd. There is a substantial pull-off on the airport side (north) of Russia Rd. - east of Oberlin Rd. and west of the airport entrance road that approximates the area of greatest activity and is safe to pull off the highway. A single light-morph Rough-legged Hawk was also seen here. Wellington Reservoir was nearly completely frozen over - not much variety of waterfowl there today. Mixed flocks of Horned Larks & Snow Buntings were found on West Rd. and on Quarry Rd.
