[Tweeters] Short Eared Owls - Bayview-Edison Road

[J Collins]

I think the problem is that there is too much water.  Most of the field is flooded.  Since the owls hunt voles and voles can’t live underwater so the food source is gone for the owls.
I often see owls on the West side of the road and people don’t usually walk into that field.  But there are no Short Eared Owls there this year.  Probably too much water.
Occasionally this year, one Short Eared Owl has been seen at the East 90.

Tweeters,

This week?s post focuses mostly on the otters in Union Bay. However, there are multiple references, comparisons, and photos of birds. I hope you still find it interesting.

https://unionbaywatch.blogspot.com/2022/01/otter-gap.html <https://unionbaywatch.blogspot.com/2022/01/otter-gap.html>

Have a great day on Union Bay, where nature lives in the city and Black Birders are welcome.

Sincerely,
Larry Hubbell

I was hoping to see the Red-throated Loon at Meyer SP in Wasco Co, OR, today, but instead found the bird on the other side of the river in Klickitat Co at around noon. The bird was hugging the Klickitat shore, at about 45.682837, -121.254958. Don't know if there are any suitable pullouts off 14. There are very few eBird records of Red-throated Loon for Klickitat.

I live just a couple miles from there. I wouldn?t be surprised if the SEO quit the area. There is so much human infringement on their hunting grounds  I?ve found it distressing.

My wife and I went up to Bayview-Edson Road today to search for the short eared owls.  We stayed until almost dark and did not see any owls. Several eagles and a few northern harriers.    

Has anyone seen the the owls this year?

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.

I stopped at the East 90s a few days ago, and had just the same reaction.
folks insist on walking out into the middle of the field and waiting there,
as if the owls were going to hunt right past them.  even the collected
numbers of people on the roadside probably have become too much for the
owls.  and harrier numbers were way down too.
