After spending the afternoon with 2 Snowy Owls at Button Bay, I decided to head over to Country Club Rd. to try for the Short-eared Owls. I parked at the first bend in the rd. coming from route 17. At 4:30, I could hear a Great Horned Owl calling from the woods on the South side of the road. Just a few minutes later the Short-eared Owls came out. They were flying along the fence line, occasionally landing on a post. At one point I was able to see 7 flying over the field all at once. What a great way to end the day! - Ken -- Ken Benton Teacher Naturalist North Branch Nature Center 713 Elm Street Montpelier, VT 05602 work: 802-229-6206 cell: 513-505-7484 “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
