Well we got three Short-eared Owls which was nice, but dipped on the Long-eared Owl which now makes this a category 3 bird for me (see list). A problematic bird for my “Big Year” We did get two Rough-legged Hawks and a FOY Ferruginous Hawk

Tomorrow morning I fly to San Diego early with my brother, Bill. We’ll work the San Diego R. mouth early for a drake Eurasian Widgeon, try and scam the Chula Vista Thick-billed Kingbird and then high tail it through the Laguna Mts. to Borrego Springs. I’ll post from the road.
