Wow! As I drove home just a few minutes ago there was a Short-eared Owl flying over the fields at the eastern end of Mt Pleasant Road. It flapped and glided around the field on the north side of the road, apparently hunting, and I watched it for several minutes until it disappeared behind the crest of the hill. Only the second time I have ever seen one up here...last was at least a decade ago.
