Got to "Galeville", now called Shawangunk Grasslands Wildlife Refuge, in Ulster Co. about 3:00pm and IMMEDIATELY had a Short-eared Owl in flight in good light. Over the next 1 3/4 hrs I found EIGHT Short-ears, 4 No. Harriers and 2 Red Tails. The unofficial Mayor, Ralph Tabor, and "Santa Clause Dave" joined me for a short time. Ralph and I both felt that there were actually more than eight of the Owls but that was the maximum that we got to vouch for. It's always beneficial to make a stop here.
