This location is just a few miles north of the normal Columbiana County owl wintering area. The bird, showing damage to the one side, was still alive for a short period of time. It was then taken to the Beaver Creek Wildlife Educational Center, where Jim Kerr and myself verified identification, then preserved it for later use. The Center presently has two Short-eared Owl mounts for display. [...]44_19Nov200720:48: [log in to unmask] |

On Tuesday, a male Long-tailed Duck in beautiful winter plumage was observed
coming in across the lake west of the lighthouse at Headlands Dunes State
Park. He landed just offshore! Scope views were had though the roughness of
the lake and the constant diving of the hungry duck made observation a bit of
a trial.
Wednesday found the same people at the same spot and there he was yet and
still. By now rested and fed, he posed magnificently on the calmer waters.
Who knows what this new weather may bring, but two days with such a bird merit
a mention.
Two flocks of Snow Geese passed by above, a lovely Loon floated close, and
Horned Grebes popped up here and there. A single Lapland Longspur hopped
along the path - unusual behavior but great for observation!
