[Tweeters] Short Eared Owls - Bayview-Edison Road

[Mike Stropki]

The only SEO I observed recently was on 12/23/21 at Crockett Lake (Whidbey
Island) around 3:30 pm.  It was mixing it up with a male northern harrier
over a vole.  It appeared that harrier was the winner.  Have not seen the
SEO since this observation.  Last year this area was a great place to
observe and photograph these owls—looks bleak this season.
