This evening a few of my birding friends and I ventured about an hour or so east out to Zion Crossroads to watch the Northern Harriers and Short-eared Owls that are overwintering at a certain field out there. I was there back in January, before I was blogging on this blog.
It was an incredible show both times. Tonight we had AT LEAST 15 harriers (more likely 17, or 18) and 8 Short-eared Owls. Both the harriers and owls would fly low all over the fields hunting. It was incredible! The Short-eared Owls were a life bird for two of the 5 people in our birding party! Congrats Vic and Josh on a WONDERFUL lifer!
We also saw Tundra Swans, various ducks, Red-tailed Hawks, a Kestrel, Golden-crowned Kinglets, and loads of Meadowlarks plus "the regulars".
