I stopped at Magee late yesterday (about 8pm) and saw two Short-eared Owls
hunting the marsh on either side of the causeway. Here are some pics from
last week at about 7pm at the same location (and I suspect the same two
birds) https://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/OwlsAtMagee#. It was an
ideal evening with no clouds, clear sky and a setting sun to my back.
Someone asked about my camera and settings - Canon 30D with Canon fixed
400mm f5.6 lens, ISO 400, aperature priority (AV) and f5.6.
Also heard lots of Woodcock 'peenting' and flying as I left at almost dark.
