The Owl woods yielded 3 long-eareds this morning but unfortunately no
saw-whets. The two juvenile Snowies were out and despite the clear blue
skies, a short-eared was flushed from the path along the southern edge of
the KFN trail. Red-tails (3), Roughies (3), and a male Harrier were
observed as well as a Merlin plucking feathers from a kill on a roadside
fence post allowing excellent views. 35 Tundra Swans and around 1000 scaup,
both lesser and greater, were floating off the north-eastern tip of the
Gravel bar.
