Sunday sunshine brought out lots of birds at the Wastewater today (1-23). Several Short-eared Owls by the R.C. field. They don't really like all the snowmobile traffic! An Eastern Screech-Owl soaking up some warmth in the barn window to the west. At least 6 Bald Eagles north and south of Apple Ave. Hawks were just starting to get numerous around 3:00 when I had to depart.
Pictured: Eastern Screech-Owl (gray morph), a pair of Mute Swans (eyeing me if you look closely), and a Tufted Titmouse at the Administration feeder.
Everyone remember to respect the birds. Don't get so close as you scare them from their roosts. They're in the weather 24/7 and need to conserve energy to survive; especially with temps like this weekend.
